What is the most expensive Transformer you own?
What is the most expensive Transformer you own?
I'm just curious, and thought this might be a fun thread. What is the most money you have ever spent on a Transformer, and which Transformer was it?
I'm pretty cheap...so for me it was Armada Unicron, which actually my wife bought me this last Xmas for $68. Coming in at second is Cybertron Galvatron at $58.

That I actually paid for, rather than grew up with? Individually nothing much... have a set of Dinobots and a few Binaltechs/Alternators.
Hmmmm.. I suppose we could make this also what we grew up with that was most expensive. Which in that case I'm not sure on my part..I know I had Trypticon and Metroplex...but I have no idea what my parents paid for those back in the day. Anyone know what retail prices were on G1 back when they came out?

Jetfire was somewhere between £50 and £70, which is about twice as much as I've paid for anything else... A real case of "I really want that". I think after that it was the Prowl & Soundwave reissues for about £30. I'm a jammy ****er, overall, though, fluking all sorts for less than they were going for at the time... I did pay £150 for a bunch of about 30 figures about five years ago, but got that back on three or four of them.
The most expensive one I ever bought? A vintage, near-minty, near-complete, G1, all-plastic Predaking for $400 about 3 or 4 weeks before the metal reissue was announced. Words could not describe how pissed off I was.
The one that's worth the most? Probably my MIB G1 Reflector, which I was told is worth about $600 and I got it for $150.

Most expensive transformer is a tie between MP Starscream-Mp Convoy, with Kiss Convoy coming a close second. Most expensive item in my collection would have to be PG Strike, for now.
Few stuff in the UK to trade/sell. Measly sales thread.
hmmm, where do i start? well, i paid like £450 for a blue bluestreak, but being a diaclone i guess that doesn't count, so, let's see, £420 for raiden, but, all six were individual so, i guess that won't count either so it looks like it was prob fortress maximus which was about £350. geez, i spend waaay too much, i need a life or something. do i really think i can impress the ladies with this????

I feel like a real cheapskate right about now my most expensive Tf is my TRU reissue Soundwave for just over £30(about$65)
My cheapest Tf related items are the RM KOs for £1 each but Ive also picked up C8 Galvatron with working light and sound for £5 hence the sig,a 99% complete VGC Metroplex for £13,a complete boxed C8/9 UM for £16.50 and a sealed Jazz reissue for £9.99 and Im waiting on Anime Starscream which I won at the weekend for £16(all prices Uk Sterling inc postage)
If anyones interested and wants a look you can find most of them here
http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI ... TRK:ME:UFS
and Starscreams here
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... &rd=1&rd=1
So (if I can) Im gonna change the question slightly and ask whos your biggest Tf bargain that left you thinking "man,I got a good deal there"

Loss of job. Will sell for food here.
Other than the obvious big ticket players like MP01,04,05.
I recently spent over $100 on a MISB Toy's dream Project Energon Ultra Magnus to compliment my MISB Japanese silver face plated Armada Overload.
Though Overload was a steal at less than $20.
I want Sentinel Maximus to complete the set but it is just too overpriced, usually starting MISB at $160-$200+, I was recently outbid for one, as $110 was as high as I would go.
