    In Peru, figures tend to cost double MSRP. Sometimes more.

    Masterpeiece Ultra Magnus and the Hasbro version of MP10 Optimus Prime were the single most expensive figures for me. I prefer the paint on the Hasbro version, especially the eyes.

    I think with the conversionnrate, they were about $300-$350 each more or less.

    Other than those two, I think about $80-$100 for takara Legends CHUG scale figures.

    I am told that it is worse in Chilé and Brazil. Especially Brazil.

    I think the most I've spent is around $160 for MP 10 and T30 Metroplex each.

    However my most ridiculously expensive purchase has to be ~$90 for TFSS Impactor. I do love him, but I don't think about his price that much since I hate myself everytime I think about it.:(

    I was going to say $135 on DX9 Carry, but I just remembered I bought that Masterpiece Soundwave reissue a couple of years back for $150 or $155. I got a five or ten buck discount on the pre-order.
