How Much Do You Spend on Collecting?

[shockwing]

if during a month sometimes never, but average would spend around under 100 or under 200 depending on the release of a figure from hasbro or 3rd party

In the last 12 years I sometimes would spend 1K a month in transformer toys but in the recent year the average is from $0-$20. I just can’t justify the raising costs (example MP Megs 2006 I paid $92 now its $135). It’s Funny how those costs jump so fast.

oh geez. this is gonna be bad...since i'm still a fairly new collector my list is pretty huge of what i want/need and because i collect G1 things get pricy It hasn't been a full year yet of collecting but i've spent around 2k at least.

according to myself, not enough.
according to my bank account, too much.

in layman's terms, my wallet is suing me for monetary assault.

All I know is with the dotm line coming out my spending is going to drop lol. Prob just catch up on past missed figures.

like everyones said, it depends. i'm finding myself pre-ordering something in the $100 range at least once a month though... that on top of picking up random shit off ebay/kijiji/CL it probably peaks at about $250, unless something BIG is released a la mp rodimus/botcon toys, etc.

i'm happy i havent really started "collecting" g1 shit or i'd be in trouble. that and i'm running out of room to put things, so that weighs in on things too.

Depends on what's out. Just bought most of my preferred figures and then hit a "gotta catch em all!" phase

[wervenom]

Sounds about the same here

I have become a plastic crack addict

Have you yet gone into Wal-mart and dropped cash, you shouldn't have spent on picking up DOTM Legion, Commander and HA Basic figures just because you could?

nothing more than 100$ bucks a month. higher than that i gotta sell some off. rebates here and there help a lot. free toys even better. wife gets mad if i go over board. there are times i don't buy at all. depending how much fugly stuff are out there.
