My wife paid about $65 for a MOC Tully Blanchard for me, that's the highest in my Mattel collection. Yes I know. Okay since you made a thread about him I'm going to google and see what he look like. I know what Arn look like but no idea what Tully look like. OMG are you kidding me, I want that Arn Anderson figure so badly. Tully look like one of them fake celebrity actor on I love Lucy. He not bad at all but Arn...drool.

I'm cheap.... everybody knows it.
I get skiddish about paying more than $20 for any figure.... they are, after all, action figures.... used to be no more than five bucks when I was a kid.
For certain "must-haves".... I'll go higher.... of course, I just bought TWO of the Defining Moments Ric Flair (pre-ordered)....
And a few months ago I dropped about $50 for the Comcast Exclusive 24/7 Pink Robe Ric Flair on WWE.com......
So I'll go higher for certain figs.... but that's about my limit.

They have the chance to put em with Hawk and Animal... we can only hope.

Welcome to Canada where Elites are $24.99 each and the WM 30 Brett and Shawn are $22.99 each before a 10% sales tax! I may have to stop collecting even though I just started! This is why I only buy select Flashbacks. Yes but free health care! I take free health care over extra cost on figures. U.S health care price is really back breaking. True, and I know as a high school teacher my paycheck is much higher than those of my cohorts south of the border.

The Classic Tag Team belts or any other Tag Team belts shouldn't be so dam rare. Can we please have another figure that come with RAW and Smackdown TT belt or one figure with one and another with the other one? Is it too much to ask?

A car hit me while I was on my bike and since it wasn't my fault I didn't have to pay the ambulance bill but my gosh a 20 minute ride in a U.S ambulance is around $2000...

Basics MOC: $15 (one time i paid $30 for B27 Cesaro and B27 Ryback, wouldn't do it again though) Basics Loose: $15 Elites MOC: $30 (won't go higher) Elites Loose: I refuse to buy loose Elites.

Most MOC would be a near tie between E16 Diesel, E15 Yoko and E12 Kane around 35 - 36 dollars......loose I honestly have no idea but it would be about 20 or under.....

I'm in the same boat mrmask. I just started collecting in November and can already see the day when I stop and probably sell off most the collection. I paid well under fair marker value for most of them though, so it's almost a bit of an investment in a way. My budget is limited as it is so the seemingly rapid hike in elite figure prices is looming large.
But yeah, I'd totally pay higher prices for stuff and higher sales tax (7% here in Florida) if it meant free health care. Even with good insurance (which I don't have) U.S. Health Care costs are absolutely ridiculous.

Not to mention free health care aka medicare in the U.S is pretty crappy. They won't even give you Aspirin, all you can get is Tylenol. So instead of having your headache heal in an hour it take 2 days haha. That what happen to me when I was a kid.

Heck, I don't even qualify for Medicare, but it's definitely not that great for those who have it. Totally a last line of defense sort of thing.
But, back on topic... Maryse actually cost me about $100 to acquire when all was said and done. No, I didn't spend $100 on her as an outright sale. Had a trade set up to acquire her for about $30 value. The other party involved in the trade went MIA after receiving their end of the deal. Then I worked out a sale with a fellow forum member for $30 for a mint Maryse. Everything went good there, but she apparently got lost in the mail (proof of shipment was sent via photograph, so the seller did all they could). It's bee about tow months waiting for that one, so I finally just bought a Maryse off eBay for $40 as she was the last Diva I needed and I was tired of the hassle in acquiring her. Total props to that eBay seller (who is a forum member as well) as she was shipped super fast is arrived in less than a week. So, all totally, it cost me $100 and a little change to finally get Maryse. Guess that makes her the most I've spent on one figure.

Ah, don't feel bad. Not qualifying for Medicare and not qualifying for any aid through the Affordable Health Care Act (what a joke that mess is) does suck, but I don't take pills anyway and that seems to be the major basis of the American health care system these days, so... I do kinda worry about a catastrophy, but having social anxiety means I don't go many places, so my chances of getting injured badly enough to require medical attention are a lot lower than they could be. And as far as the Maryse figure... Well, there's way worse things in the world than having paid too much for an action figure. Does suck to get screwed out of one and I was kinda miffed about that for a while, but the one that got lost... Well, that just happens sometimes, especially when dealing internationally. Dude was really apologetic about it, so it's all good. Besides, even with paying a little more than double fair market on Maryse, my Diva collection is still worth more than I've spent, so tis no worries.

Divas basic and elite are the exact same thing I think. What is your divas roster include?

Possibly $125 shipped for a legit Mattel MOC of a truly special figure. I don't buy customs. Too risky. If I'm going to pay above retail for a figure it better look factory and not like it was painted with gunky Bic White Out.
I'd $50 shipped for loose if I really want it. But as of now I own every figure I want that was ever released except BAF JR and BAF Paul Bearer. I hope to get those loose for around $50.
