What's the most you've ever spent on an accessory piece?

Seibertron has a gallery of it

$50 each for cog and cerebros laser :(

$70 for the orange tube for Galvatron. Back around 2001, when the dollar was at 50c, and there was no such thing as TCS/Encore.

I can tell you really really wanted it. I would buy one, but not for that price. Also, I don't own a Classic Cliffjumper yet, coz I can't find one anywhere.

I am so glad that i bought that Reb Bumblebee when I saw him. This was before any news on the upgrade kit and I originally didn't want to get him because I thought that Hasbro releasing a straight repaint red bumblebee as Cliffjumper was pure lazyness and a money grab. However I caved in and bought him on a whim as at the time there was nothing else.

At the time I regretted buying him but after the upgrade kit I am so glad I did.

People wanting to get an upgrade kit from ebay be careful. There are poor quality KOs of it out there

so this originally retailed for US$100? (from the customs declaration of the envelope in the photos)

Kyle hooked a few of us up here and the cost was about $30US shipped.

fark :eek:... i must not have been a member when that happened....

still looking for this set at a reasonble price... doesnt look like thats gonna happen now...

The only accessory that I can remember ever buying for a TF was the tower piece for g1 metroplex. I think it was like 12pounds or something.

Although I'm looking at buying a few g2 jazz missles for my g2 onslaught soon.....

From the Join date in your post , yeah pretty much. FP back then was just a fledgling and was a total unknown that's why there's only a few pieces that was made. It was more of a "test the water" type of thing..... the original CJ kit have a serial number certificate in each box. not sure how many but I think just around 300 (?) pieces was made... I could be way off but yeah really limited...

Two Classics CJ custom sets left with two hours to go!

[EDIT] Wait...is this the FP one or is this some other random made one?
