    I've had a few finds for £1 at boot sales but nothing WOW just the odd minibot

    most expensive item I've got was the Galaxy force Sonic Convoy gift set.

    Bought Henkei Strafe for 90 today. This makes him the most expensive figure I've gotten, hopefully I won't spend anymore than that. Can't really say what the cheapest is, maybe Universe/ Classics Cyclonus and Hound for 5 bucks each.

    The most expensive transforming figure I've ever purchased is the Yamato 1/60 VF-0S. Version 1. $210. Piece of crap. I wouldn't buy it again for $21. You could make a figure out of eggshells and cover each joint with Vaseline and it would be more stable than this POS.

    The costliest Transformer I ever bought would be MP Grimlock. Still, for $145 shipped, I think I got a good deal.

    The cheapest Transformer I ever bought...hmm...well, I guess Micro Masters when I was a kid. The best deal I ever got, though, was Cybertron Primus for $25. MISB. I think Amazon or HTS had a deal that day. Sweet deal.

    Over $1,000 for Dinoking. Before that it was $300 for Black Tracks. I once put in a bid for $1,000 for a MIB Japanese Predaking box set, and got outbid! Looking back I'm very pleased about that as the reissue came out within the next year. About $250 for Star Convoy only for a reissue to come out, now I prefer the reissue. Nearly passed on the Dinoking in case they reissue it, but took a chance.

    I've probably paid 50p for a TF at a show before, or a car boot. No doubt my best bargain was a MIB Fortress Maximus for £60 ($100).

    Got dozens of free TF's when I was a kid and my friends outgrew them before me.

    Dearest: 110 euro for Reissue Megatron. Wasn't long back in the game then so the guilt was phenomenal for a while.

    Cheapest: any 5 quid TF from the 80's like Combiners, Firecons, Micromaster teams

    Cheapest KO: Robotmasters oversized Wingstun, Wrecker Hook, Prime and R-Blade, all the size of deluxes, great quality and 2 euro each.

    Dearest KO: Oversized G1 Bruticus 145 euro

    My most expensive TF figure to date is ROTF Ultimate Bee.

    I think the cheapest are fast food promo figures or some small pvc blindpacked ones.

    Well,yes. G1 figures was hard to come by, even if it was available, some of them cost a bomb. Also particularly because I got into TFs quite late, so I missed out a lot.
