The most I have paid for a figure currently stands at $500. That was for 3A's scale figure of Rex from Metal Gear Solid 1. It is absoloutely huge and unfortunately still stays in its box until I get that mansion to display it in. Probably my first dip into figures and such but looking back I really had to get it and I still dont regret the purchase, even after all of the overtime I had to do haha. I've never spent anything near this amaount on figures or anything since though really.
