I had a few hundred bucks saved up, but then I bought an Xbox 360, now I only have like a $100 to buy stuff. Maybe I can still get one or two encore reissues
Mike: $100 is my usual con budget, but depending on how expensive your tastes are you can get a lot of good stuff for that.
I've had some very good deals on loose toys, and came home with toys, reprolabels, art, patches, etc. I've also had some good trades which stretched the $ even further.
