The most money I've ever spent on a single toy is $120 for a Unifive Gaiking (and DAMN, it's worth it... that thing's a blast). But I have a friend who spent about $350 on a carded POTF85 Han Carbonite! Anyway, how about you guys?

I really have to think about this…
I guess I would have 5 answers.
1.) Most Money Spent On A Toy
The most money I have spent on a single toy was $80 for a Commemorative He-Man 5-pack. I thought it looked great and I had to have it on my shelf, unfortunately it is in storage right now.
2.) Most Money Spent On A Vintage Star Wars Toy
This is another hard answer to figure out. I was lucky as a kid and got most of the vintage stuff when it was new. However my hope is to have a complete collection of original figures, playsets, vehicles, and accessories. So I’m sure one day, when I have more money, my answer will be much higher. But as it stands I think the $25 for Logray from Tortle was the most I’ve spent on one Vintage Star Wars Toy.
3.) Most Money Spent On A “New” Star Wars Toy
It would probably be either the TIE Bomber or crashed Snowspeeder, which were both about $40. Am I forgetting something? It feels like I am.
4.) Most Money Spent On A M.U.S.C.L.E Toy
That’s easy. $20 for the wrestling ring from Toy Bliss.
5.) Most Money Spent At Once On Toys
That would be the midnight release of toys for Episode II. My total was approximately $271.

Most money spent on one item: Perfect Change Getter Robo, about $500. For those familiar with the cartoon Starvengers (Getta G), this was the predecessor. It can form all three modes without additional parts.
Runners up:
Getta Robo Go MIB - $309
USS Flagg loose - $150
RBT Shriekbeak - $137.50
Grendizer SOC - $180, I think
Microman M100 Tom - you had to buy a playstation game in Japan and send in a raffle ticket. Only 1137 in the world. $175
There were other Microman items, but I don't remember at this point.
Most money spent at once on toys (breath in)
$3500. Microman stuff.
$2700 package, Microman stuff.
$300 Star Wars Episode One night.
I'm sure I've had days where I spent $500 on toys.
Most spent in one year.
The largest total that I ever measured was....$15,000 in one year for toys, total from cash and credit cards. Never really measured again after that.

1.) Most Money Spent On A Toy
$80 for a Commemorative He-Man 5-pack. (previous record)
I’ve managed to tie that record with a Kin. BHS. I think it was about $80, plus some MUSCLES.
2.) Most Money Spent On A Vintage Star Wars Toy
$25 for Logray from Tortle. (previous record)
I picked up an Amanaman and DS Gunner each for about $50. Both were mint AND complete.
3.) Most Money Spent On A “New” Star Wars Toy
TIE Bomber or crashed Snowspeeder, which were both about $40. (previous and current champ)
4.) Most Money Spent On A M.U.S.C.L.E Toy
$20 for the wrestling ring from Toy Bliss. (previous and current champ)
And it’s not the Kin. BHS because that’s not MUSCLE.
5.) Most Money Spent At Once On Toys
That would be the midnight release of toys for Episode II. My total was approximately $271.
If I’ve missed something, then feel free to call me on it.

4. Most Money Spent On A M.U.S.C.L.E Toy
$25 for Satan Cross.

I spent $300 on my Blackhole Sunshine M.U.S.C.L.E. figure.
That's nothing compared to Philly's $422 on his recent Spinning Head Ashuraman purchase!
