$422!! Pretty amazing that something so small can go for so much. But as long as he has the money everything will be fine. I dont think that I would every spend that much on a toy, but who knows what will happen between now and then.I guess I have broken my record since my $100 Spinning Head Ashuraman purchase post earlier in this thread.
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!
How much have you spent on a single toy?

and i spent around $349.00 on it.
it was well worth it for me though cuz the set brings back alot of nostalgia from my childhood.
heres a picture of it: (everything come packaged in a HUGE black box)

The most I've spent is on a G1 Skullcruncher - he originally cost me $30, plus I had to buy a replacement head (he's a Headmaster, you know) for $18.

$130 at a Goodwill auction for a sweet Hot Wheels case filled with 21 redlines plus a RRRumblers motorcycle. The cars in it would fetch about $600 to $700 overall if sold individually (but I'm keeping them all). I was prepared to spend $300 but no other HW collectors showed up.
Not sure what the top price I paid for MUSCLE items probably the $30 incl. shipping I just paid for the colored MUSCLE poster yesterday.
I try to look at how much I'm paying vs. what the item's worth. Like most people, I like to get a deal and like Boaconda I spend quite a bit overall but not too much on individual items.

Ultimate Muscle related: Over $300 for the first editon of the CCG. I got six trays of the CCG at the K-Mart down in Winter Park, Florida(all of them, all but one pack, four of them sans figures ), and they were marked too damned high. I also spent a bit on loose packs on Ebay, but never over seventy cents each.
I still am missing two cards, though...
non-Muscle: M:TG, if it counts. I've seven 5000ct boxes. Retail Price has been about .22-.26 cents each card per pack... and I've bought singles of them, too, for over that. Let's see... most cost a quarter retail... Hmmm... I own approximatly 8,750 dollars worth of Magic cards as per pack in price, plus a ton of paraphanelia. That's been spent over a ten year period, however... Quite amazing, when I tabulate it.
Non-Game: A Limited Edition Devo Chromed Power Dome. That was a hundred bucks. Limited to thirty pieces.
And you are here, with them, as so many specks of sand.

I paid $325 for a 1995 Hot Wheels 67 Camaro Treasure Hunt this summer. I knew I'd probably do it one day and finally did.

Acouple years ago I spent $850 for an AFA 80 G1 Starscream. He's gone now due to financial difficulties in the past. Most recently I dropped $150 for a Masterpiece Ultra Magnus. ~ Worth every penny!

Considering the rather large scope of my toy collection, the most i've ever spent on a single toy was a rather modest $100 on a complete Cobra Terrordrome. It was at a flea market of all places.
That's a playset though, and is like three toys rolled into one, so...the most i've ever spent on a single action figure is a tie between my complete King Randor and complete Sorceress from the original He-Man line. They were $30 each.
The most i've ever spent in a single run on toys was about $600, dropped in one day at a comic convention (Incidentally i was signing at the convention and made about half of that back, so that might count towards my net ...).

Color me intrigued. Why were you signing at a comic convention?

I used to do a bit of comic book work with a small label called The Three Legged Black Cat Society, run by Aaron Bordner. Nothing incredibly prestigious, but enough to get me into comic conventions in the midwest for a few years.

The most I have spent on an action figure would have been $800 for my carded English version Sea Panic Battle Charger. My yellow drill is the most expensive toy I own at about $1500. And it cost me close to that in the trade for it. But both of these examples are really damn rare toys.

You gotta love the yellow drill though

1. Most Money Spent On A Toy
About $60 on a Marmit Monster Heaven Gigan figure. Absolutely positively worth it!
2. Most Money Spent On A Vintage Star Wars Toy
...err... let's try that again!
3. Most Money Spent On A Godzilla Toy
Better. Fortunately or unfortunately, the answer remains the same. MH Gigan FTW!
4. Most Money Spent On A M.U.S.C.L.E Toy
Something like $3 for an orange Cobra Satan?
5. Most Money Spent On An Ultraman Toy
$36 for an Ultraman Festival exclusive Sadora. Wavy arms with pincers FTW!
6. Most Money Spent At Once On Toys
Nearly $150 for a huge bargain's worth of Godzilla figures. Unfortunately, I resold many of them, but I did keep some of the X-Plus Gameras and an 8" Godzilla 2002 (from GMK).

Close to $200, a Kinniku-Colosseum I believe. Although I have a DVD/Keshi set coming in late this year that should cost me around $800.
2. Most Money Spent On A Vintage Star Wars Toy
$20+ for a Yoda.
3. Most Money Spent On A Godzilla Toy
n/a
4. Most Money Spent On A M.U.S.C.L.E Toy
Around $40 for a S.C.
5. Most Money Spent On An Ultraman Toy
n/a
6. Most Money Spent At Once On Toys
In the thousands for the store inventory, but personally? Over $1000. YJP stuff gets pricey.
