If you're one of the two $40+ auctions, you overpaid by about 300%.
Well, the auction in question was one that started out with $14.99, but I kept getting outbid to the point where my final offer was $47.00 which at the time was a fairly low price compared to the other listings (except for one that was roughly around the same range). In any case, given how much I have in my account, I'd hardly call it overpaying by any percent.
Given how much I'VE HAD in my bank account for the past few years, paying 47.00 for a Gorosaurus that is bound to hit other retailers and store shelves more openly is overpaying. Let's not flex something stupid like "her derp I have money burning in my pocket ima pay 59.99 for a 4.99 gashapon look at WHAT I CAN DO!" That's just plain stupid. Could have bought like the entire line of Gashapons if you looked someplace like on Mandarake of Yahoo.jp for the same price and picked up more along with it. It also makes you look like an a--.

Most people want to nitpick and say anything over MSRP is overpaying but I'd go 19.99 with next day shipping for Goro. There are a few exceptions were overpaying is mandatory and that are convention or expo exclusives like most of my Ultra 500 stuff. Can only get them if you go to what-ever con for 5 days in Japan and then you pay 8.99 for it. Yeah don't ask how much I paid to complete my collection at the time but different circumstance for something that is "in retail circulation".

Like all those scalpers stating how "buying their MMS Kong for 29.99 is a deal and you wont find it anyplace cheaper!" Yeah I can go to Amazon.jp and get one along with like every other MMS and get it shipped to me for a better bargain then what snake oil your trying to sell people. I hate vultures and there the reason why in stock circulation for some of these are damn impossible to find.

It doesn't matter how much you have overpaying is overpaying. And as stated above it makes you sound like a douche for implying money is no problem.

Mostly impulse buys, except Minya. Agreed to buy him from a friend a while back and kinda regret it but oh well.

Normally I would mock the crap out of you for saying this but... I too want him to hold me with his drill hands and just tell me everything is gonna be o.k.

You know, things always seems to be at their darkest and the most hopeless right before everything turns completely black and goes straight to hell in a handbasket, but I'm equally certain that a tiny hug from a plastic inanimate toy will turn your day around and into a sparkly rainbow wonderland in no time at all!

My YMSF Minya came, and the seller threw in a little gift. This little guy is awesome! I think he needs batteries.

Sounds like a real crown jewel.

My most recent Godzilla purchase is the NECA 1984 Godzilla. I loved his movie when I saw it and decided to buy a figure of him.

Found Playmates Mechagodzilla in a Walmart I go to once in a while and happy to have found it at retail. Impressed by the detail and articulation for the price. Would have been a real incredible figure if it had elbow, hand, and neck articulation.

Looking to custom paint the figure. Any recommendations or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Some photos in the link above.

I bought a number of funko pops as well as Bandai Monster X. Kasier and 2001 Baragon are the last individual older figures I need. The rest will be the big memorial box and big figures as well as a few of the newer releases I need to fill the last bit of shelf space.

Bought the Bandai 2021 Mechagodzilla. Bit late to the party, before I got my funko figures over the past few weeks, I realized Kong was the only thing from this movie that I owned. I still havent gotten any playmates and honestly, dont plan to. Id rather a kid buy em than my grown ass self. Also got this bad boy

Gonna be getting SP Jet and Anguirus to fill up the remaining spots on my Reiwa shelf, as well as YMSF behemoth finally, with my seller thankfully holding one for me.

Got this last week, actually, but I won this Trendmasters Godzilla 1998 Nick Tatopoulos prototype for $9 shipped. I wonder why it didn't go for more? Its in admittedly rough shape, but for a hand-painted prototype from 1998, that's not terribly surprising.

Led to my next purchase as well, actually - the Trendmasters Godzilla 1998 Nick Tatopoulos, which I did not have. Ironically, I paid more for the final product than the prototype. It'll be neat to compare them, I can already see that the accessories are different.
