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

* Million Publishing United Stepper. WTH eBay, should have listened to Leige and got him at a discount from BBTS at $90.
* FP Protector (original).
* FP City Commander Add-on set (for the original release).

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

* TF Cybertron Primus (missing two missiles). Won it from eBay and when I met up the seller decided to only charge me $50. I think she may have been a member here, but it was before I became more active.
* TF Energon Wing Sabre. Buddy got it for a steal from Supanova for $10.

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

* TFCC Nexus Prime (nee Maximus). Picked all 5 members separately over the course of 1 year. Another year later the complete sets start popping up on eBay at about 60-70% what I collectively paid.
* TFCC Punch/Counterpunch. Paid a mega-impatience tax for this.
* Botcon 2005 Deathsaurus. Percentage-wise probably not as bad as Punch/Counterpunch. Dammit, never again TFCC.
