I have a daughter, so I spend much more on toys for her than I do on toys for myself. Honestly, I don't spend that much. Maybe $20 to $40 a month. Before I was married I spent a boatload on collectables.

She's only three and loves Lalaloopsies, My Little Pony and all that stuff. We went to Target yesterday and she told her mom that she was going to get a toy, I was going to get wrestling (what she calls wrestling figures) and that my wife couldn't get anything, so she makes a pretty decent wingman sometimes. Lol.

too much...
ive got 675 mattels....if you average the price i've paid for each one to about $11 a figure (since Elites/Legends/DM's were more, but I've also paid less than retail for a good percentage) and I started collecting Mattel's from day 1, I've spent approx $172 a month on my collection.
holy shit.

Altogether I don't really want to know how much I've spent on my collection. Lets just leave it at a lot more than what I should haha!

$50-$100/month, depending on stores replenishing new stuff, or $0 if no stores feel like replenishing.

Probably $50-$150 a Month. I started collecting about a year ago, so I'm still playing catch up. Now I'm not the type of guy to collect every single figure that turns up the pike. But out of what I want/like, I still need about 30 Mattels to be caught up. So, I figure once I get caught up completely (I still need a bunch of high dollar figs) my spending will go down quite a bit.

I've spent roughly $300 since May when I started collecting. I've mostly collected just current figures and have only went out of my way to buy two that were older.

It varies. Usually 10 to 25 per month if stores have what I want

Easily €100 or more a month ($120) so in total I reckon I'm close to about €2,000 or more ($2,400) roughly. I've collected accessories since Jakks and figures since '98 but never had a collection. I just happened to buy some E1's when they came out cos I thought Punk, Taker and E3 HBK looked cool then got into it properly around E13 so I'm playing catchup but have a tonne of them. I can't display cos of my lily girl is learning to walk and will get at them but its becoming more expensive to try get the ones I'm missing. I'm an elite and diva's man and I will stop when I am up to date with all of them. I'm one of those completist types

$25 (for an Elite on eBay)
I buy an Elite every other month, i'm buying two on 8/3 (E19 Bryan, E22 Beeg Show)
So $25 x 6 = 150, I'd say all together i pay about $200 or more a year.

Yeah, I take the "not going to total it up" approach as well. I also collect other figures, and I think if I thought about it, I'd probably try and quit something I love. Ignorance is bliss.

Too much. I once had almost every mattel at one point, but recently sold nearly all of it. I now keep 1 fig per wrestler that i like. Smaller, intimidate collection. I like getting accys, props as i want to do an arena for display in garage for fun. After a bit ill hand that over to my kids. Space became an issue as my displays were clean and elaborate. Then i went to shelving, then i wanted to collect other things and space was limited. So i dropped 90% of my figs. Ill post pics at some point since its been awhile.

I only buy elites at retail price, some of the older figures ive missed out on ill search secondary market but only buy them if the price is right. Ive got the money but i always refuse to pay over the odds, its all about the principle. A good man always knows his limitations. I only buy the figures i need, for example i needed a new kane, i bought the elite 21. Then another got released in e22 which imo would be just daft to buy...you basically paying for a new head and a belt if you havent got it, i think thats just ridiculous and its little things like that which collectors should cut out. Same with most variations unless its a dramatic change i would always only buy a character once. There are exceptions, im a massive HBK fan so ill try and buy his figures but to buy every variation of every character just seems silly to me unless of course you love each and every wrestler lol. Save your coin.

Between yesterday & today I spent 160$
E22 Rock x's 2 E22 Sandow E22 Tensai E22 Kane E22 Show B31 Wade B31 Truth B31 Rosa E E21 Orton
In all fairness though, the basics I bought for part swaps with elites then, I use them to play w/my 18 month old!
