Most expensive you ever bought for your transformer collection or something you needed to complete a series or collection. I know people sometime go all out but what was the most expensive you ever spent on a single TF.

For me that would be Brave fortress Max :D slowly recover after getting him hehe

Brave Max is one of my bigger - more expensive guys now.... Although he was replacing my Grand Max, which cost much much more, but had to sell him off for lack of funds. Grand Max was my most expensive ever, followed maybe by Predaking and Brave Max.

Any of the MPs were in the $100 range. Cant remember spending to much more than that on any other TF. Although, one day I'd like to get a Fort Max and I know that'll be pricey.

Masterpiece Megatron at $100. Worth it though. When I told my sister how much I spent on him. She gave me a look. Then I told her ask me how much I spent if I ever got Brave Max. :D

1. Botcon 2008 Shattered Glass Optimus Prime @ $160 (incl. shipping).

2 & 3. MP Megatron & Starscream @ $150 each from a local shop. A little expensive, but no shipping hassle and I could see them before buying to make sure they're all right. So worth it to me :)

Looking to the future my most expensive figure will likely end up being one of the Dawn of Future's Past figures. I'll pay almost anything to finish my set!

Compared to your list, not really. The 6 Headmasters as a set alone are going for $2K now, aren't they? Shuffler goes for more than one of those lucky draws already nevermind. :D

WonderFestival BT-Convoy ...$150 or so i think...i had to byte the bullet for completion sake.
