The whole point of money is to spend it. If you want it, then get it. I did just that when I paid 70 for a Mass Device. Now if you find that your phone is cut off and you are buying hydrox instead of oreos, then it is time to cut back cause you are spending way too much friend!

If you can afford it then its not too much. If you buy your kids generic off brand toys and spend big bucks on toys for you then that is also bad. I do not feel there is a specific crazy price for the figures as long as you can justify it and it is worth it to you. I paid $350.00 for the two SDCC Slaughters, Destros, Cobra Commanders, and Zarana's and felt like I got a good deal.

It's funny because my girlfriend will be moving in soon and she only knows about the Flagg. I haven't figured out how to explain everything else to her yet....other than saying surprise! its for the future baby... |

It's your collection at the end of the day. Do what makes "you" happy. Sometimes you do have to spend more to get what you want. Other times, maybe you find a good deal and It all evens out in the end.

It depends. I feel that some figures are under valued, and some are over valued. Its hard to gage. What I don't like is when I over pay for a figure I can't find just to have hasbro re-release it in another wave like I did with the poc ig. It was an amazing figure. I think I paid like 15 bucks for one cause I didn't pre-order, and couldn't find it anywhere. Then next thing I know there are litterly thousands more out there. With that said there are plenty of figures I feel are worth more than 15 bucks. If your not willing to pay the value of the figure you should be able to except not having that figue in your collection... that's why I don't have a cold slither zarana yet, just not willing to pay 65 or 70 bucks for a figure in black instead of pink.

I will not spend more than 8 dollars for a single figure.
That means I wont be buying a single Retaliation figure until they hit the discount stores. As for exclusives. I like to try to find them loose if possible. but 30 bucks is my limit. If I were bidding on something on ebay, I take the shipping price into consideration too. Just the other day, I was bidding on an A.W.E striker with Leatherneck. The price was 10 dollars for days, suddenly it went to 17 with 8 for shipping. 25 bucks is too much. So I let it go. on the other hand I won an auction for a Night Spector with Grand Slam for 5.99 with 6.00 for shipping. THAT I consider a good deal.
