G1 Bruticus or complete G1 Jetfire. But when I buy Omega Supreme.. I have a feeling he will be most expensive.

Kinda sad, Mirage Alternator almost cost me as much as they did.

How about the cheapest? Well, Optimal Optimus for $12, one of my favorite figures of all time.

hey, it ain't pathetic. it doesn't make you more of a fan if you shell out thousands of bucks for a figure. what's important is that you love them for what they are. :grin:

for me, given the expensive prices here in the Philippines, prolly my classics prime and leader prime. like i said in another thread, I AIN'T RICH, i'm realistic. 8)

Original Predaking

or

I bought them both a couple years back for the same price. i think predaking is worth more since he is rare.

$250 for Brave Max shipped, although someday I'll spend more than that on 2005 Botcon Ratchet.

Paid $400 for giftset Devestator, tape was broken, but nothing was ever removed. (Well, maybe I peaked once :P ), plus MP04 wasn't cheap for me either at $320.

Back in 2000, I bought a mildly beat Predaking off eBay for $150.

But that was almost immediately beaten by a $175 Brave Maximus.

In third place, was like $125 for a set of Japanese decoys mixed with some from Italy.

The most expensive TF I've ever gotten was the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime for $90 + tax at TRU. Even Ultimate BB was only $85 at Target.

Well I've been trying to keep this under my hat but remember that huge $4,000 Prime statue that was out a while ago?

Yeah well I don't have that.

My most expensive that I have right now I couldn't tell you because I don't remember but I'm sure when I get the Seacons those will rank #1.

MP-01 at $100, and soon to be followed up by MP Skywarp. I've never spent over $100 on a TF, and really only because my wife would kill me if I did :D

Don't even ask about what I've spent on comics.

Leader Prime 2007, $90 AUS.

Love him to bits, although I don't think price = preciousness.
