    Yeah this. I wasn't going to get him but I was at a toy fair and he was there and so was my wallet and once you factor in shipping costs and import hassles it's not a bad price.

    I feel really cheap,

    but like 45.00 or sumthing

    on Henkei Megatron.

    Although I bought him with Henkei Starscream so it was like 70$.

    Biggest payment I've ever made for transformers.

    25 (originally 33$) bucks for the TF: Animated Battle Begins 2-pack (with bonus DVD) set last weekend. (best 30th birthday and once-in-a-lifetime present ever)

    That's about it. Don't plan to buy anymore TFs in the forseeable future, except for TF: The Movie ('86) and the BW Complete 2nd and 3rd Season DVD sets. :D

    $250 on Headmaster Rodney, MLC

    Man, when I first started collecting, I thought that $200 was a bit much for a Fort Max. Boy, was I naive =D

    $200 for my MiB G1 Classics Optimus Prime. If it was MiSB I'd get it graded in a second. Flawless!

    None of my other purchases are in the vicinity of costing that much..

    MP-05 - $99
    MP-06 - $104.95
    MiB G1 Omega Supreme (NOT Encore) - $115
    MiB G1 Sixshot - $100

    and so on...

    I mostly get pretty good deals on what I'm buying. I got a MiSB G1 Joyride for $40, for example :D

    75 quid just the other day, on a Kiss Players Hot Rodimus.

    Which is more than my Masterpieces and BT Mirage cost, now i come to think about it. Hmm. No more robot extravagances for me for a while, that's for sure...
