    1: What figures do you really want but you think have just gotten too expensive compared to their original price to warrant buying?

    2: What figures have been too expensive but after years of patience you finally found for a reasonable price?

    3: What figures did you know were way too expensive but you ended up buying anyway?

    MP-1S Sleep Mode Convoy (Japanese ver), MP-10 Evangelion Convoy

    1. More of the RTS figures at The Reject Shop. They had Tracks there, should have got him. Didn't see Wreck-gar though.

    2. Not really years, as I've only been collecting for 2 years now, but after wanting it really badly but not having the money to ship it, I snagged Encore 20a Anime Devastator MISB for $43AUD in HK. Deal of a lifetime.

    3. None at the moment really. Hasn't been long enough.

    Even at $15, I paid too damn much for Age of Extinction One Step Changer Lockdown.

    Takara Tomy MP-10 no thanks to MP-1 and then the rest of the cars that made me went crap, I need a prime. Ended up with current Hasbro version on pre-order.

    I will add MP Sideswipe and Red Alert as I came in too late and paid more than what I would need to.

    1: What figures do you really want but you think have just gotten too expensive compared to their original price to warrant buying?

    Diaclone Battle Convoy & G1 original Optimus Prime. Ridiculous prices these days means I'll never own one. Didn't help that I only started collecting in the last 2 years.


    2: What figures have been too expensive but after years of patience you finally found for a reasonable price?

    'Diaclone' Ultra Magnus & Nucleon Super Convoy. Right place, right time .... distressed seller. A slab if VB helped seal the deal.


    3: What figures did you know were way too expensive but you ended up buying anyway?

    MP-08X King Grimlock (first run). Ended up buying two. To add insult to injury, a second run is coming out very soon.
