91WhiskeyM6 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 God, I would max out my credit card for a complete G1 Predaking. I have a G1 Bruticus that I bought for $80 complete, but Predaking is the ultimate Transformer combiner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macloacas Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 The most I have paid was $250US for a Marmit 12” Maguna Taishi (Goldar) figure. But I was really worth it, since it’s one of my favorite childhood series. Macross related, I remember paying $650US for a Bandai 1/55 Super Ostrich VT-1.

robokochan Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 man everbody else spends way more than I could ever dream of doing. The most expensive toy I have ever bought was the VT-1 1/55....and paid about $400.00 for it. Then I bought an autographed Gold Movie Book for $400.00. Sold both of them though... Currently the most expensive toy I have bought (That I still have is) a B-Club resin Kit of the Android from Mario M-66 Black Magic (mario). I paid about 14000 yen for it MIB un-assembled. And the Space Battleship Yamato Soul of Popynica - Big Scale - $198.00. ROb MN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Man oh... Man, my hobbies are killing me as well , most of my most expensive stuff is outside the Macross universe and mainly Gundam, the most I spent on macross so far is about $110.00 (1/48 VF-1S Roy). I think I am going to be adding a Musha Knight Gundam to this set real soon. 1/100 G-System Plan-303 Deepstriker $450.00 1/144 Dendrobium $200.00+ 1/100 B-club Crossbone Gundam X-1 $180.00 Gundam Fix Clear RX-78 Gundam Box Set $200.00+ NEO GEO arcade Machine $400.00 Gundam Musha RX-178 MK-II $170.00 Gundam Musha Heavy Command Gundam $180.00 Pefect Grade Zeta Gundam $180.00 Perfect Grade Wing Gundam Zero $180.00 Perfect Grade MK-II Titan $150.00 i will not even mention the Gundam Fix figures and Master Grade and other things I have collected over the years ,because they are under the price of these.

pfunk Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Macross, $165 on 1/48 VF-1J Super $500 on all takara reissue Transformers at once tens of thousands on Hot Rods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 (edited) $11,800.00 for a 2000 Mazda Miata. Not a hobby, but I've been wanting one for years, and you could consider it a toy. $182.00 for a VF-1J w/FP, shipped. Love the thing but I've promissed myself I'll never spend that much for a hunk of plastic again. Edited March 11, 2004 by mechaninac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 most on a toy, whatever price i paid for the vf-1j w/fp's...$180? but soon it'll be the LEGO Imperial Star Destroyer....$300. best deal, nothing, i'm always getting robbed. most i spent on one thing, $8800 to move into a studio apartment in NYC. 6 months rent, plus one month security deposit, and $1800 for the brokers fee. it doesn't pay to move into the city with no credit history. on the plus side, i now pay $800 for a 2-bedroom.

StealthLurker Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 For "kiddy toys" about $1600 on a pair of tokyo marui remote control godzillas Video game wise... many, many G's on arcade machines/boards and neo-geo home carts. In terms of Cars/mods and Home electronics... man that's a whole different ballpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Nut Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 The most I've spent is a mediocre amount: £145 on buying a 1/48 VF-1A Max from HLJ, including the British import tax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Most expensive toy I bought was $250 (if memory serves me correct... I bought in 1998) for the Voltron/lionbot MIB from Korea (the one with gold instead of silver). Either that or the $150 Battleship Yamato Popy Chogin. My most expensive Macross? The VF-1J Hikaru FP for $175 at VE. The macross toy I felt the most ripped off? Paying full price for the Rick MPC. My most expensive electronic? my 36" Sony HDTV for $1300.

bandit29 Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Let's see... about 6-7 years ago I bought a Takatoku VF-1S 1/55 for 550.00 at Wizard World Chicago. Then 575.00 for a 1990 Bandai Super VF-1S of off ebay. At the time they were going for 800.00 to over a 1000.00. But the box was slighty messed up but toy was mint. 275.00 for a 1/55 Hikaru VF-1J of off ebay. 200.00 for a Destroid Conversion Kit. I was living at home with my parents at the time, working full time and no real bills. So it was easy. I live on my own now, work full time and have bills, mortgage etc. I've sold off the vintage stuff(to lose some money due to reissues and crap economy etc) to buy other Macross stuff. I did have almost all of the 1/60's but sold those off to buy 1/48s. The only thing I've bought recently that was overly expensive was the 12 inch Guts figure from Berserk. 180.00 aprox. I only bought that due to a loan I got. After buying the Q-rau and whenever the YF-19FP comes, I'll be done with Macross stuff I think. Of the known Yamato products, nothing interests me. The CM figures vol 2 I'm buying though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnollman Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 most on a toy, whatever price i paid for the vf-1j w/fp's...$180? but soon it'll be the LEGO Imperial Star Destroyer....$300. )) Oh man, I forgot about that thing.... I guess that's the most expensive thing I've bought at once.... No, hang on.. I bought the B-Club Bubblegum Crisis and Bubblegum Crash books, with a couple other books for $360 plus shipping. Forgot about that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanata67 Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 $4,500 4 my 67' camaro Most expensive macross purchase... $90 for my 1st matsushiro complete from vermillion one. Granted... I have a lot of macross suff worth a lot more... I just didn't pay that much now if you factor in my collection of sharp pointies and other crap and how much I trade... Perhaps my most expensive macross goodie is my rob beer resin as I sent a psx2 and a bunch of other crap to spain. In fact... another box is about to get sent stupidest investment... I had the first three sets of magixc complete with tons of rare doubles like the mox when it first came out. I paid maybe $300 and sold it all for $500 maybe a year later [beer money ]. A FRIGGIN mox goes for $500 now!!!!! Anyways... lets just say the first 5 sets of pokemon complete didn't increase in value anywhere near how I hoped . Maybe in 30 more years... but I doubt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chowser Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 probably when I got the 1/48 Super VF-1J and VF-1S reiss from VE (youch!) both at once kinda hurt! that was probably $300+. but well worth it! let's see, I just spent $800+ on my Last Legend Tsunami 306. now Iai classes are $55/month.

Max Jenius Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I got an $800 1/55 VF-1J Millia... then another $650 one... They both sold for a fraction of the price I paid though... no thanks to the Bandai re-issues. But I didn't really buy them as an investment, had I known that Macross goods would be plentiful, I would have saved my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southcross Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 not sure what I spent on my toy collection, but how's $24-$25,000 in photographic equipment took me five years to pay it all off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robomatt Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Well, Let's see... MIB Green Gakken Alpha Fighter $300+ shipping Mospeada Ride Armour large version $200 I think. 1st Issue Yamato 1/48 $140 I think. Tons of Transformers PG Zeta Gundam $200 (wedding Present) All my toys are in seperate bags up in a closet until I get something to display them in. I moved recently and the apartment I was in had shelves to display the toy love. Oh well my new house is better in other ways. But I'm poor after dropping the humongous down payment. I havn't bought a toy in months. Patience...Patience... It seems the largest amounts paid for Toys is on the Elintseekers. Yamato needs to make a 1/48 Elintseeker.

J A Dare Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 (edited) 1. Toys = $0 2. Photography Equipment = $1,000 Although, my digital camera was stolen recently. 3. Backpacking/traveling the past 3 years = $10,000 But if you combined all my trips, the total travel time would amount to a one year continuous trip spending $27.40 per day on average.
