    $375 MP-04...I'll explain

    $200 plus shipping for 2nd run of MP-04, then it gets stolen from my front porch (DHL decided to leave the huge box out there) and then the insurance only covers $100 of the lose. So back to TFsource with $100 insurance claim and Curt helps me out and says give me $75 and we can ship you another.

    Yes in the end it was actually $275 plus shipping out of my pocket, but lets call the $100 insurance claim pain and misery.

    Thanks! I appreciate the compliment.

    I only need 9 more AFA 85 Pre Rubs to complete my collection.

    dude that sucks so bad i am super sorry to hear that..................................................................................................and now i need to change my poll answer once again :)  but im sure this will be the last and most i will have spent at least in 2010.. Im so happy to announce that i just bought today a shattered glass rodimus for only $425 in mint condition :)  :)  :)  now i did have a few mishaps on the way (buying a henkei wildrider thinkin it would work for the shadow scyther armor and having to resell it) that cost me a total of 65 extra dollars so in a sense you could say i paid $490 if you include my stupidity :)  b ut i dont have an ounce of buyers remorse :)

    I'm a relatively new collector, haven't spent more than $50 on a single figure, I think. The most expensive in my collection are probably Alternity Bumblebee and Cliffjumper, Botcon Glyph, Action Masters Bumblebee.

    Although I'm planning to buy some MOSC minibots in the future... :)

    I spent $154 for MP08 Grimlock,but as of right now I have MP09 Rodimus/Hot Rod on
    preorder at BBTS and he is gonna probably be $210 with shipping,but I will gladly pay
    that much for him as he has 2 Bot modes and 2 Alt modes,so its like getting 2 for the
    price of 1.

    $850 is the most I've ever spent on a TF. I picked up a Mint Guard City a two years back at Botcon. Before that, the most I'd spent was $800 for a Lucky Draw Omega Supreme.

    I'm kind of at that point in my collection where anything I still need is stupidly expensive. I'll more than likely surpass the $1,000 mark to snag the last G1 toy I need (Battle Gaia) or some of the rarer Lucky Draws.

    ~$250 shipped for an MP-04 Prime 2 years ago. And I'll never go beyond that ever again (unless it's a custom).

    $240 just to get Botcon Deathsaurus, but I'm selling off the rest so I guess that doesn't count.

    Primal Prime : $90
    MP Grimlock: $80

    Those are my 2 highest single TFs I guess.

    Unofficial TFs:

    Warbot Defender: $90

    MP Optimus Prime when it first came out in 2003/2004. To my memory it was around $150. Suffice to say never again.

    Stop lying, you don't have any friends.


    I have paid over 3K on a couple occasions, and have no regrets whatsoever.

    I believe the top one was TFCC Nexus Prime, the set of 5, for 240.

    I bit the bullet, and paid $199 for MP-04 Convoy.
