What’s the most you guys have spent on a single toy and at what price do you think should be the cut off? I really want some of the Sideshow Clint Eastwood figures and the aftermarket hasn’t been kind.
>>11048612I paid $500 for a loose threezero 1/6 big daddy. It was worth it tho, considering it goes closer to like $1,000.
>>11048612$435.49 after tax for the Haslab Galactus, though if we don't count that as a single figure because of the heralds, then it's significantly less of around $100 as a 1/12-1/10 collector. And that's on the higher end of what I'm comfortable paying, at least for standard size figures.
$4000 for a sofubi that I later sold for $5000 when times were tough. The most I've spent on something I still own is around $2000, another sofubi.
>>11048612Eh, probably like £180 for Utena? I was out of the game at the time and had to pay the latefag tax. I think I’d consider that the largest amount I’d pay for a single figure, because she’s a character I love, but I’ve been tempted by figma Sakura & Tomoyo lately.
150000 yen on a dollfie dream arle years ago. Was about $1300 at the time after conversion. I am still very happy with her but it ultimately wasn’t worth it, she ended up getting a reissue a few years after I bought due to popularity (rare for dolls), and can be found for $1000 or so now. I don’t know what my cutoff is really, nothing else I’ve ever wanted has come close to that, but I try to budget for the year instead of worrying about the price of a single toy.
>>11048721Somebody had to take the hit for others to get a reissue, thanks for your sacrifice.
>>11048612160 on a Rem Figma
>>11048612Around $400 for the medicom rah daft punk ram figures. Cutoff now is probably around $300 but I rarely have opportunities to consider that since I kitbash 1/6 now and it's much cheaper.
>>11048612$325 for ThreeZero's Ogre.Typically I try to stay under $200 with a soft cap of 150.
>>11048612$200 on a box of warham miniatures that remain largely unassembled because painting is hard and my hands are shakyI bring shame to my people
If including garage kit figures, around $1000 for a Dark Souls 1 kit, if just regular figures, $450 for a Mattel Yugioh GX Bubbleman, year later resold it for 2 grand.
>>11049096pic not related?
>>11049119That's the Mattel Yugioh GX figure, this DS1 Black Knight garage kit i spent $1400 on a couple years back
>>11049417was it worth it? I saw a guy that does this and he has the Oscar Knight from DS 1 and it looks awesome. I just can't get my around the idea of spending 400 USD on a figure like this...
>>11050025Nta but of course not, at least not relatively to what else you could buy for that money, including other figures. It ultimately comes down to how much you'll enjoy it personally, and if it's worth it to you. Also be mindful of what you're buying and that it might not have the quality or tolerances you might usually expect.
RX-78-2 perfect grade unleashed. 500$Its easily the nicest model kit I've ever done.
>>11048612$150 on the Soul of Chogokin Megazord. It was absolutely worth it since the set retailed for $300 and then shot up on the aftermarket until the reissue came out. I don't regret it.
>>11050025It absolutely wasn't lol but the FOMO got me for real after getting Oscar, Siegmeyer, and Havel the years before. I think the designer made more years later, but i own pretty much all his DS1 kits, just havent had the time to build and paint them.
I recently spent five hundo on the Lewin Atlas Optimus Prime reissue. The only figure I spent more on was Haslab Galactus.
I sold my ThreeZero Caiman and Shin years ago as I got out of the hobby and have since repurchased Caiman who was like $550 on eBay for the deluxe version unopened. Gotta find an original deluxe Shin sometime but haven't yet. Not that big of a priority since his anime version is basically the same figure with a bit less dirt paint.
$220 for a Gandalf the Grey staff that lights up. YOU. SHALL. NOT. PASS.
I paid $775 on a very nice G1 Deathsaurus with the original box. The box has seen better days but the figure itself is the most perfect copy of this figure I've ever seen. Even the stickers are unapplied and it includes all the paperwork. That's probably the most I will ever spend on a single toy unless I decide to go after Raiden or Liokaiser some day but I've given up on those 2. I'm really glad to have gotten Deathsaurus in 2016 because the G1 figure has disappeared from the market since the Haslab version was announced. There's no telling what my copy would go for these days.Overlord was a close second at $740.
>>11048612probably the 80 or so bucks I spent on Titans Return Trypticon when he got heavily discounted on Amazon back in December 2017, though I might have spent slightly more on the Lucky Cat Micro Cosmos MC-03 Beast Lord*, that one might have been around 85 bucks(probably about 100 after shipping fees get added on), I'd have to double check on the site I bought it from*a really snazzy third party rendition of the MMPR Dino Megazord/Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger DaiZyujin, they're doing a reissue of it soon in a new black coloration that also looks really nice(and have done their first tease of an eventual Dragonzord/Dragon Caesar figure as well)
>>11053107I still have my Overlord I got as kid, missing a bunch of stuff. No gun, no small bots, no ammo and lack of one attachment. I think I should just sell it to some Transformers fan, for it to get a better home, I got it buried somewhere in my parent's home attic.
>>11048612$300 for hiss tank, like $125 for black zarak. After collecting mass market stuff ive gotten curious about these high end figures but i cant commit.
>>11048999I had to give up on models due to my hands, really sucks. Im a ok painter but the building was what i truly enjoyed. Ive got kingdom death stuff still sealed since why bother screwing it up.
>>11048612>What’s the most you guys have spent on a single toy and at what price do you think should be the cut off?Pee Wee doll.$200. (because of $60 shipping)200 is a maximum. Nothing is worth more than 200. At this point just leave it - there is like 90000 awesome toys on the market/Ebay. Thought i wouldnt mind spending around $300 on a 1/6 figure i really like (i didnt see one yet and the one i have cost me less than 200)
Around $1000 for Hot Toys hulkbuster and the 1989 Batmobile.I was VERY tempted by the Jazzinc Batmobile for $2,200 since it looked markedly better...but the hassle of having to resell the Hot Toys one just seemed like too much and frankly? The McFarlane one scratched the itch I had for it. My thirst for giant sized toys like this is basically over and I'm more interested in smaller pieces now.
>>11057354isn't this thing like 3 grand?
>>11057345>arbitrary number that the poor guy sets for himself that's just your budget that you are comfortable with, retard. a figure is worth whatever someone will pay for it. and that depends mostly on supply
>>11057357would love to get this or the 1/6 ecto 1 but man I just don't know how to even display something that big, you basically need a solid glass coffee table and put it inside of it so you can see it from every angle.
>>11057635>arbitrary number that the poor guy sets for himself>that's just your budget that you are comfortable with, retardyou are not richYou are a sad poorfag who throwing money around on garbage.
>>11057747you're a retard if you spend over 100 bucks on a single action figure. and you're okay with spending twice that much. so you're poor and you're stupid and have poor logic. probably a woman.
>>11057751caring how other people spend their money is genuine poorfag behavior
>>11057751>you're a retard if you spend over 100 bucks on a single action figure. and you're okay with spending twice that much. so you're poor and you're stupid and have poor logic. probably a woman.Dude you are really fucking mad arent you.Btw you calling a guy who spends $200 on a toy "poorfag". You are either a complete zoomer moron or some idiot who spends thousands on toys to stuff them around because you have nothing else to do with your life other than brag on some shitty forum.Fucking pathetic lmao
>>11057635>a figure is worth whatever someone will pay for it. and that depends mostly on supplyyou sound like one of those grifter faggots who buy bullshit like Sofubi/PokemonCards/Investing in Lego.Dumbass.
>>11057766>>11057809poor fags seething
>>11048612>preorder this from the last online shop that has it in my country >wait year and half>faggots keep saying they don't know when will it arrive>dig has been out for months>2 months later>still no news>ask for a refund or I'll sue them>oh sorry, the container was stolen so we lost your figure among many othersI still miss my boy Clint like you wouldn't believe, at least I got my money back.
>>11058061Go ahead and keep trying to deflect and get the last word in, but know it won’t increase your bank account
>>11048612I pre-ordered W-Resources Iron Fortress for approximately 500 bucks. This seller gives free shipping though.Not as crazy as people who pay for Robosen or 3 thousand dollar statues, but it's the highest I've personally gone.
>>11048612Literally $90 Leaf Bucks for a 2-pack of Medabots figurines I used to collect as a kid. I think that was overkill, but then again I bought the the Hot Wheels RLC Optimus Prime for the base price of $120 in Yanks.
>>11048612$1000+ for a custom Midna and Wolf link statue with a professional paint job only for it break during shipping and eventually melt and leak toxic liquid plastic destroying the paint job and ruining the figure. I threw it in the dumpster about a year later.
