Big Toys? Rare Toys? Mistake Toys? What are the most expensive toys you own and what makes them $$$?

[@braydenpage1808]

I recently bought the Transformers Studio Series 86 Optimus Prime that retails for $90. I love it. It's the most expensive toy I've bought for my collection that isn't a Lego set. It's probably my favorite thing I've bought the entire year. Such a great figure.

Yolopark g1 Optimus is better

[@braydenpage1808]

@thatoneguy378 that Yolopark Optimus looks amazing. I personally went for the 86 because I wanted the perfect Generations G1 Optimus Prime. I wanted that awesome Trailer and I wanted my perfect G1 Optimus to transform into the perfect G1 truck.

The original Scareglow and Ninjor from MOTU and The Fridge and Steel Brgade trooper from GI JOE

Like I explained in my most recent video on League of Legends Nasus, often times you get what you pay for.

Still to date, the single most expensive figure purchase I've made was a vintage G1 Transformers Overlord. The one I bought was a European version. It was MIB with only minor flaws. I paid $450 for it. I bought it from an overseas seller, so a much higher shipping charge is factored in there as well. I still remember once I got it in the door (while I was really thrilled with it), I instantly regretted all of the trouble and expense. I already had a G1 Overlord, but it wasn't as nice. It's still one of my favorite toys, but it all just seemed it was more trouble than it was actually worth. I ended up reselling it to a friend of mine for what I paid for it (it had actually increased in value some, but I wanted to help my friend out a little bit).

I own the 1989 Alien figure after playing Alien Isolation, so it was expensive too.

[@AMVH2012]

I bought a test shot of MP-29 Laserwave for $900. Masterpiece Scale Transformers make up most of my collection along with retro G1. This was a piece of history I couldn’t pass up.

[@PepsiGolem]

My most expensive figure purchase was a used set of Unite Warriors Megatronia I got for just over $300.00. It is a female Decepticon combiner that never saw a release in North America and as someone who seriously collects Decepticons, I just had to have her.

I find it hard to keep track of what I own is worth how much, but one with I was surprised by is how much some of my stuff skyrocketed without me being aware of it until recently. Thing is, I grew up in NE Ohio, and NE Ohio in the 1970s - 1990s seemed to get almost EVERYTHING that was churned out by toy companies. In 1987, our local Children's Palace had a veritable WALL of Rotars, Twistoids, and Powers of Grayskull archosaurs. (It was also the only place I ever saw an Eternia "in the wild," so to speak.) If I'd known then what I know now, I could've made a tidy profit. In 1994, I picked up all the Jurassic Park Series 2 archosaurs, including the "Demon" Carnotaurus. If I'd known that thing would almost reach 4 figures for a MISB example, I would've bought more than the one I got, then promptly opened, discarded the box, and sold the capture gear to another local collector. Then MOTU Classics came along, and had I known Scare Glow cultists would drive the price of that guy through the roof, I would've bought more than just the two I bought (both opened). And then ALL of MOTU Classics seemed to go through the roof. I suppose I should look into the prices of my stuff, now that I'm back amongst my collection, for a while . . . .

[@TheTimPilot]

My most expensive and rare toys are my five Air Raiders Man-O-Wars. Last time l checked they're valued at atleast $500 each.

[@silverbullet1620]

I have seen a G1 Megatron for over $1000. I purchased a Power Rangers Lightning Collection Silver Space Ranger for $60 from Thailand because the toy didn'tget delivered to the Florida Walgreens for a few years. I also bought the Walmart Jabba the Hutt for $200 because I wanted the Oola that came with it.

[@youknowthename3966]

In my whole Spider-Man collection, amongst all the £80 Mafex figures, is a single Marvel Legends Mary Jane worth about £20 which I paid £95 for on Ebay because it was only in a six year old two-pack.

[@TeamPBZ]

Hello Scott great video (as always). One question: Is metallic Paint more expensive than "normal" paint? can it inflate the price?

[@berkajr3685]

Hasbro Hulk Hogan 5 Mail Away. Bought it as a gift after I finished my dissertation. Cost me over 1000 USD, plus shipping inad imports to Sweden. Snake Mountain in Clasissics is a close second and Grayskull classics on third place.

[@WILLIAMWILKINSON-r4b]

Probably the most expensive for me was the Toynomi Hurculoids set that came out around 2002 i missed getting them back them so i had rto pay a pretty penny for them last year

[@BuckarooBanzai84]

IDK if this counts; I have an early Playarts Master-form Sora from 'Kingdom Hearts'. It was $35 when I originally got it, but now ALL Playarts, (or whatever they're called now) new AND old figures have SKYROCKETED in price, if eBay is to be believed. =0 And I got a special Palisades-Muppets Gonzo at a convention awhile back for $60, and that was just to replace my old, broken Gonzo. =\ =)

[@BadAssXerx3]

I think for me the most expensive figure I have is the Transformers Studio Series Blackout, was my fave Decepticon design in the first Bay movie, got him for a really good price and retails now for around 150€ even used or his recolored form Grindor is hard to find now. Besides that the Bionicle Kardas Dragon exclusive 3-pack and the Voporak 3-pack( never build this guy only wanted the three titan sets).

[@remus_lupin]

I've got a couple Titan Class Transformers (Omega Supreme, $160 & the Ark), but I think HasLab Victory Saber & Legacy Menasor cost more ($180, IIRC). Value-wise (as in paid a lot for relatively little), my most expensive purchases were probably 3rd party trailers for Reveal the Shield G2 Laser Optimus Prime (sold without his tanker trailer) & Classics Hot Rod (Rodimus Prime conversion armor). Single sets of accessories, for about $100 each. I also have a 3rd party trailer for, I think, Classics Optimus Prime, but I never had him, so I think I got it cheaper, somehow. Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime has the honor of pulling it (with a LEGO Technic pin as a hitch adapter). I don't buy 3rd party often (way too pricey), but these & a few others NEEDED their finishing touches (biggest offender being Generations Thrilling 30 Hoist, I think, who was completely missing his towing equipment - he did come with his tow hook, but none of his yellow backpack that fills in the truck bed). My biggest 3rd party purchase was Maketoys Quantron (Computron), but I got it on some kind of discount. My probably most valuable figure (as in bought at MSRP, sells way higher now) was in a hard to get 2-pack (exclusive, orders were canceled), that somehow has the wrong face (which I like better), but everything is the proper colors. Still not sure how a head-swap repaint wound up with someone else's face (best guess is the face itself is a seperate piece from the head). Not going to identify the figure for obvious reasons. He's not even a highlight of the line, he's probably a C-tier character (I don't even treat him special). I've seen him normally listed for $250, years ago, loose & correct. No telling how valuable my misassembled one is. I have an old SDF-1 that'd probably be more valuable, if it wasn't broken, from age & siblings.

[@CoolCATs2814]

I bought the Wizard exclusive Jason Todd/Hush MIB figure for $80 many years ago. Love the Jason Todd character, so I never regretted the purchase. That's the most I've paid for a figure at this point, but next year it will be beaten by Hasbro's Dragon Man ($85 + tax). That figure looks too cool to pass up and I think the price point is pretty fair, considering.

[@midwestmonster9886]

4:14 If they have to make Mary Jane Watson a superhero, wouldn't it be more appropriate for her to have a tiger theme rather than a spider theme?

[@thatoneguy378]

At first I'm like wtf does that even mean? Lol Then I realized how clever your comment is. I agree. Then she could be tight as a tiger. Good job " Tiger " lol

[@CoolCATs2814]

I'd say neither, as she's always calling Peter 'Tiger.' IMO she should have a casino/slot machine look.

[@ccggenius]

@@CoolCATs2814 ... That's literally what they did. In a recent run she got superpowers and went around as Jackpot, as in "Face it, you hit the Jackpot, Tiger".

[@rodrickadamginsburg8960]

Your Castle Grayskull is among my most treasured possessions!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍

[@ciscodeer9094]

I'm going to say my 300th anniversary Boba Fett from the POTJ line, but I think the price has going down.

[@domenicricci2978]

300th?! 300th?! Oh Wow! THAT Is A Collector's Gem! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Sci-Fi-Mike]

I had one, but a roommate at the time left abruptly and stole a bunch of my action figures, including that Boba. He can rot in Action-figure Hell.

[@christopherboccuzzi8761]

I don't have a large collection, but some stuff is pricey. A TWF09 "Freedom Leader" Optimus Prime that was maybe $200-$250 and looked right out of the Bumblebee movie. I wanted only one definitive OP and that was the best at the time. Way back I got the 2008 NECA Mirage turtles off Amazon for $50. I think it was the first thing I ever bought on Amazon. I'm considering selling them. Most expensive mistake I wasn't impressed with the original Mezco TMNT promo photos and passed on the preorder. Once people started getting them in hand, I realized my mistake and paid through the nose for them. Still my favorites. Most expensive prop replica was the HasLab Proton Pack, $400 plus another $120-ish for the wand then another $70 for an ALICE frame and other little pieces that I'm sure have made it probably an 8-$900 outlay. Don't care, love Halloween now.

[@unorthdoxcleric6953]

Was the Sail Barge

[@lio_convoy714]

My most expensive figure was my gold Dino Charge figure at $3000(1 of 20). My second was my Red Deka Ranger megazord for $2500(1 of 5). And recently I purchased a store Japanese megazord display figure who is a little over 5 foot tall for $2000. Why did I buy these I want my collection to be different than anyone else's collection. I decided years ago I did not want a generic Power Ranger collection. Most just collect MMPR. I collect every season both in Japan and in the United States.

[@carloscunningham319]

I bought a lot of expensive figures I mean alot over the years

[@machineman6498]

Could you please do a video on the limited video game history of MOTU????? 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@rodrickadamginsburg8960]

Where’s the grey hair on the Lego representation? 😉🥸😇🥰

[@masonj4779]

Please explain what exactly makes you a toy maker. You’ve never sculpted, engineered or painted any toy. So how exactly does that make you a toy maker? Now the 4 horsemen, they’re toy makers. Even booby vagaverse is a toy maker.

[@ThatGuy-zj8kg]

You can be a baker without grinding the flour or harvesting the wheat or building the oven

[@CoolCATs2814]

He refers to himself as a toy maker because he designed an action figure. I don't agree with it either, but he's not going to change his perspective on the matter, as he's been saying it for years. One-time toy designer, maybe. But toy maker? No. But he also talks as if he's still in the toy industry, which he isn't.

[@KirksCORNER1983]
