@thelastgherkin Was it ponies?

@mrdragon Transformers. Specifically a Universe (2003) (RID) Optimus Prime (Sam's Club exclusive yellow).

@thelastgherkin Get out, no justification to you.

@mrdragon If someone is in the position to spend £70 on one pony toy then they have very poor price comparison skills.

@thelastgherkin I think when I was About 11-12 I spent about 30 quid on a Lara croft doll... It had guns

@thelastgherkin Maybe not the molded/brushable figures, but if you count plushies then maybe one or two. Probably a little less though.

@fallinwinter You realise I'm talking like $110, right?

@thelastgherkin I'll be honest, if we're not counting in context of "regular plushies in store cost 25-30 dollars" The fanmade craftmanship of this deserves at least $50-$75. http://img.ponibooru.org/_images/5ed61ca9c839f3ec8599ce62b1f8d062/70703%20-%20fluttershy%20gala%20plushie.jpg

@fallinwinter We're talking actual products available in shops, made by Hasbro.

@thelastgherkin I don't think I've ever spent more than $30-$40 on any toys though it's been a while. Only Yu-Gi-Oh/Games did I spend $50+

@fallinwinter I spent £80 on some add-on Transformers armour a few years back.

@thelastgherkin I enjoyed transforming/armor wearing toys. I remember Megaman X toys where you could swap out their armor. There was one for Megaman.exe too.
Friday, 09-Dec-11 13:47:12 UTC from web-
thelastgherkin
@fallinwinter This armour was a fanmade add-on for Ultra Magnus. Only problem was that when I bought it, I didn't have the Ultra Magnus. I splashed out on him some time later.

@thelastgherkin Eh, I think I probably spent the most money on the digivices and stuff like that. I think I had like 3 versions of the 2nd seasons ones.
Friday, 09-Dec-11 13:51:43 UTC from web-
thelastgherkin
@fallinwinter Oh yeah, I've spent tons of money on toys. It's just that I'm not used to spending so much on just one.
Friday, 09-Dec-11 13:56:30 UTC from web-
egnaroesroh
@thelastgherkin Dunno, personally I'd buy it if I wanted it that much. Granted there have been instances where I have regretted my purchases. So take what I say with a grain of salt.

@jinny He's complete, but he's not boxed. I'd never be able to afford it if he was still mint.
Friday, 09-Dec-11 13:51:14 UTC from web-
jinny
@thelastgherkin Yes that's still reasonable. I'd still say go for it.
Friday, 09-Dec-11 13:51:58 UTC from web-
thelastgherkin
@jinny That's the answer I want to hear~!
Friday, 09-Dec-11 13:55:57 UTC from web-
jinny
@thelastgherkin Yes hehe, I always encourage ponies on saavy purchases. Just think in 10 years you'll get like double your money.

@thelastgherkin #brohoof for the Fansproject City Commander Armour. :3
Friday, 09-Dec-11 13:52:43 UTC from web-
thelastgherkin
@jinny Thanks! I also have Protector. :3
Friday, 09-Dec-11 13:57:22 UTC from web-
jinny
@thelastgherkin Oh squiggles I was so close to buying that, but some ponies were like it's just so-so.
Friday, 09-Dec-11 13:58:28 UTC from web-
thelastgherkin
@jinny Protector's not as good as City Commander, but it's DEFINITELY better than Masterpiece Rodimus. Masterpiece Rodimus is terrible.
Friday, 09-Dec-11 14:01:10 UTC from web-
jinny
@thelastgherkin Yes Masterpiece Rodimus is like sweet Luna, no good. I was like "Yeah...no" when I nearly almost walked to my car to goto TRU to pick him up. xD
Friday, 09-Dec-11 14:02:20 UTC from web-
thelastgherkin
@jinny I impulse bought him when I saw him in TRU because I wasn't convinced I'd ever see him again. (I'd only seen Grimlock once at the time.) I had to return him because he was just so bad.
Friday, 09-Dec-11 14:06:34 UTC from web-
jinny
@thelastgherkin Yes I was lucky as my TRU got him waaaay later than everypony else, because I live in purgatory. So I got to see how he stacked up to the Japanese release, and well how about that nothing really was improved. xD
Friday, 09-Dec-11 14:09:39 UTC from web-
thelastgherkin
@jinny It's nothing I would mind if he wasn't so expensive. For comparison, I got Masterpiece Optimus for like half price and he's a great toy.
Friday, 09-Dec-11 14:11:35 UTC from web-
jinny
@thelastgherkin Yes, Masterpiece Prime was like really solid. :3 They need to retool Rodimus, release him with his trailer at the same price and he'll be worth it.

@jinny Oh, and I got Armada Unicron for half price way back when! That was a great success!

@thelastgherkin That's awesome hehe, because he's certainly not half price now dear. ;)

@jinny The TRUs here are absolutely pathetic. Pretty sure there's still some Movie stuff hanging around.

@thelastgherkin You spent money on something non pony, you have no say in this.

@mrdragon It's impossible not to and also survive. Also, I haven't bought it yet.
