Yang_Neumann Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 The year is 1998, and I spent $90 on a Space Battleship Yamato model, only to have it thrown away by my wife two months after I bought it (NRFB). We divorced in 2000, then remarried in 2003. We are now in the process of our second divorce and she threw away the second Yamato model (One of my few items which survived the tornadoes which came through Gallatin last month) I bought on eBay in 2004 for $190. The moral of this story: Leave those damn Macon County girls alone Quote
GobotFool Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 does a ridiculously low amount count? i got a red 1/35 legioss for $35 when they were selling for around $400 399309[/snapback] Quote
Southcross Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 I think I should lock this thread and then use all the info everyone has posted to blackmail you all. Graham 397961[/snapback] threatening to send letters to wives/girlfriends/bankruptcy court on where the money really is going? Quote
ComicKaze Posted May 14, 2006 Author Posted May 14, 2006 on a single piece..no more than $5...try and blackmail me with that Graham! 399306[/snapback] So that Low-Vis that you model your hands with was only five bucks? Man you gotta share the deal with us! Quote

Uxi Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 Probably any of Yamato 1/48. Most I've went was $130, though (2 Low-viz and a Hikaru 1S is all so far). I really like the looks of the VF-0S but $160 is kinda steep. I'm hoping I'll see these for $130-140 at Frank & Sons. Quote
SpacePirateNeko Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 300 dollars or so for The Sky yoshitaka amano collection complete in box with everything present and in pristine condition. Quote

ShadowerV2 Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Only have that one issue. I wonder why I bought it. I guess the Spider fever hit me when the movie came out. Quote
Mechafan Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Bandai 1/55 Strike $500.00 USD, Gakken Red Alpha $200.00 USD. Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 I just sent the payment for a Blade Runner Rick Deckard blaster prop replica (445 U$S plus shipping). I could have it for less, but I had to hit the Buy It Now button. Those auctions kill my nerves. I know it's not quite anime-related, but it's by far the biggest amount of money I have spent on a single product in the geeks department. Can't wait to have it in my hands Quote
areaseven Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 The most ridiculous amount of money I spent was probably $130 for my Yamato 1/72 YF-19 when it first came out. Yeah, that was a ridiculous price to pay, especially when HLJ had it for $85 (including shipping to the U.S.). Worse was that the douchebag in Hong Kong shipped my YF-19 in a gift wrap and not in a parcel box. At least the toy itself was intact. Quote
isamu_dyson Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 (edited) i spent $900 for an icon's anakin lightsaber (s&h and taxes included) long ago. on macross it's my 1/48 VF-1 Club M "blackace" recast that cost me $309. Edited June 13, 2006 by isamu_dyson Quote

Oh, I didn't realize, thanks Yeah. I learned about this prop on that thread. I wanted a BR blaster, but I wasn't thrilled by the idea of having to sand it build it and paint it myself (I have no modelling skills whatsoever), and R_Deckard said that the Richard Coyle version (that looked absolutely gorgeous in the production pictures) needed some serious mod to make the bolt action and opening revovler cylinder work. A shame really, 'cause as Richard Coyle himself states, his prop was made from the actual guns used for the original hero prop, a number of original stunt casts and some serious research, so his was the most accurate gun available. A few days later I found out on ebay that Richard Coyle was selling finished pieces with display stand plaque and COA with working parts, working LEDS and dummy bullets Edit: http://cm.ebay.com/cm/ck/1065-29392-2357-0...Item=7628599244 Edited June 13, 2006 by Lonely Soldier Boy Quote

How much did you pay for that? Please tell me you have it insured! 407548[/snapback] Insured? I didn't think of that. But it's not that rare. Everyone and their uncle seem to have an issue and are selling it off on ebay. Quote
Vermillion21 Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Originally, it would be a Gakken fully transformable cyclone off of eBay for $187. However, my 1/48 super stealth is the highest I've ever paid for a toy at $195 (includes shipping). Both were worth it though. Quote
Spatula Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 (edited) For any single anime item, it would be:super ostich - $2000 mint Tetsujin 28 - $35000 mint  I know thats a lot (not for me) , but I bought these back when all this stuff was really hot. You sir, must have won the lottery or something. I know this is supposed to be a single one shot purchase, but my Patlabor 1/35 Master Grade kits (Alphonse, # 2, #3) were bought in 1 day at 2 different shops at $80 a piece, so $240 for the whole lot. For a single anime related purchase, I guess maybe the Gundam Fix 0013 Deep Striker for about $140 USD. Still, though, that seems like a sane price now that I've seen some crazy stuff around here. My Aliens Aoshima 1/72 Dropship was still expensive 12800 JPN Yen so about 125 CDN then the shipping ^___^ Edited August 22, 2006 by Spatula Quote
DARKWIND Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) $370 for a MISB SOC Dancougar. $250 for Gakken full transformable Stick Bernard Mospeada. Then found the same Mospeada toy for $150, yeah I bought it too. . . All the same week. . . Edited August 24, 2006 by DARKWIND Quote
