Quick! Someone justify me spending £70 on a toy!

@thelastgherkin Was it ponies?
-
@thelastgherkin It is your DESTINY.
-
@mrdragon Transformers. Specifically a Universe (2003) (RID) Optimus Prime (Sam's Club exclusive yellow).
-
@fallinwinter Yes, keep talking like this.
-
@thelastgherkin Get out, no justification to you.
-
@thelastgherkin Like Rarity? Oh heavens no! I simply couldn't bear the thought of doing such a disservice to such a refined lady. In fact talking like this may be THE. WORST. POSSIBLE. THING!
-
@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.
-
@thelastgherkin You spent money on something non pony, you have no say in this.
-
@fallinwinter You realise I'm talking like $110, right?
-
@mrdragon It's impossible not to and also survive. Also, I haven't bought it yet.
-
@thelastgherkin All is forgiven.
-
@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+
-
@thelastgherkin #brohoof on the Primage dear. :3
-
@jinny #epicglompage :3 hai
-
@metal Haya amigo. :3
-
@fallinwinter I spent £80 on some add-on Transformers armour a few years back.
-
@jinny !! JINNY SHOULD I BUY YELLOW RID OPTIMUS PRIME
-
@thelastgherkin Oh you didn't buy him yet. I was totally congratulating you on nothing. xD
-
@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.
-
@jinny Answer meeeeeeeee
-
@thelastgherkin I totally would, I wish I had some expendable income to actually get some of the other stuff I wanted. T_T If you have the extra cash I would totally go for it dear. You don't see to many of them floating around. Is he CIB?
-
@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.
-
@jinny Hey how are you?
-
@metal I'm fine dear. ^^ How are you?
-
@jinny He's complete, but he's not boxed. I'd never be able to afford it if he was still mint.
-
@jinny I'm doing better than I was...I have strep throat or something right now, I'm still missing my friend though otherwise im fine
-
@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.
-
@thelastgherkin Yes that's still reasonable. I'd still say go for it.
-
@thelastgherkin #brohoof for the Fansproject City Commander Armour. :3
-
@jinny yeah I know...hurts when I cough which is something I can't help I'm going to the doctor soon
-
@metal well I'm glad you can get checked out dear. ^^ No fun being ill.
-
@jinny yeah...
-
@jinny That's the answer I want to hear~!
-
@jinny YOU GOT KNOCKED THE FUGGOUT!!
-
@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.
-
@jinny Thanks! I also have Protector. :3
-
@thelastgherkin Yes hehe, I always encourage ponies on saavy purchases. Just think in 10 years you'll get like double your money.
-
@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.
-
@metal Oh whiskers, are you Fred Durst now dear? xD
-
@thelastgherkin Oh squiggles I was so close to buying that, but some ponies were like it's just so-so.
-
@jinny Protector's not as good as City Commander, but it's DEFINITELY better than Masterpiece Rodimus. Masterpiece Rodimus is terrible.
-
@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
-
@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.
-
@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
-
@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.
-
@jinny Oh, and I got Armada Unicron for half price way back when! That was a great success!
-
@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.
-
@thelastgherkin Or just give in to my incessant ramblings and release a masterpiece Galvatron.
-
@thelastgherkin That's awesome hehe, because he's certainly not half price now dear. ;)
-
@thelastgherkin My toy aisles here still have plenty of ROTF Ravages. xD
-
@jinny hi
-
@zach Hiya Zachy. ^_^
-
@jinny what's up hon
-
@zach Sleepy. ^_^ How about you Zachy?
-
@jinny entering school
-
@zach Have a good day dear. ^^
-
@jinny The TRUs here are absolutely pathetic. Pretty sure there's still some Movie stuff hanging around.
-
@thelastgherkin Yes hehe, it's hilarity here too. ^^
