    $250 for first run of MP-10. The runner up would be $230 for Metalforce Optimus Prime back in 2000. If you account for inflation, that would be the most I paid.

    $2000 for G1 misb Prime. But that was a lot of years ago. In the last few, I don't think I've paid more than $100 for anything. Most recent purchase was $70 for TR Trypticon. I am thinking about that MP Megs toy version reissue, tho...

    $350 for Encore Fortress Maximus as far as official product goes... my most expensive third party purchase was, amusingly, Perfect Effect Warden with upgrade kit for $190 to go with Encore Fort Max. :lol

    Hmm...I'd imagine it'd be between my "Last Chance" MP-01 Prime and the initial Takara Predaking reissue gift set, around $200.00 or so for each? (Not at the same time, of course...) I don't know how accurate that is, really. My brain doesn't process numbers very well, unfortunately... (lol)

    Incidentally, and unfortunately, I sold both of them some time later... *sigh*

    I think I paid around $300 USD for the Korean Brave Maximus when he came out.
    So that's definitely the highest so far.

    I have MP44 on preorder though, so come August that number will be $330.

    Singular figure - $196 for Masterpiece Starsaber

    Combiner set - $244 for Unite Warriors Megatronia

    And that's not counting shipping & handling

    Would've been MP-36 if I bit on that $245 one, which at the time was the best price. But I kept saying nope, too much. Knock Out!

    $80 for MPM-04 when he was just starting to release but I had to return him because I couldn't get him transform due to his complexity and that my copy had QC issues.

    Kinda glad too because at the time Studio Series was just starting up and where it is now I would much rather put my money towards 3-4 SS figures than just 1 MPM figure.

    $150 for CW Devastator. Biggest splurge over MSRP was $71 for a G1 Megatron 100% complete with box about 15 years ago.

    Biggest splurge I’ve done is $600 for the Botcon 2007 set. Otherwise I’m there too with the Encore Fort Max.

    $230 for LG31 Fortress Maximus because Takara used the correct colors for him, followed by LG-EX God Ginrai at $165.
    Both more than I paid for any of my MPs including MP-05 and TRU Soundwave.

    $300 for Masterpiece Thundercracker. All the other Seekers I've got on Black Friday for less than half of that.

    $160 tied for CW devastator, takara megatronia, computron and lynx master, soon to be seconded by big powered and possibly predaking and Omega supreme depending how my luck holds out.
