We've all seen posts on how much we've paid to support this valkaholism, and I don't really mind spending money on things I enjoy. But it drives me nuts when I overpay for things. Here's my story: When the Yamato TRU VF-1A came out, I hmm'ed and haw'ed about getting it - finally after staring long enough at the pics of it on MW I decided that the CF was too cool to pass up. So I bought it - for $105US! Last week I saw a MIB TRU 1A go on eBay for a whopping $26.01 (Link). I guess in retrospect I paid to get the CF at that point in time rather than wait for the general release. I also paid for the better paint choice for the CF. *sigh* So, please share your tales of over-paying for stuff and let me know that I'm NOT alone in this!!!

Gotta be my Yamato 1/72 YF-19. I still remember being absolutely amazed that someone was able to figure out how to make this thing transform and look good (admit it, when you first saw it you were floored!) in all modes. Just fantastic work. (Editted for spelling)
