The most I have ever paid was a little less than $400 for Beavis. I don’t regret it, it’s a great Pop and was vaulted before I started collecting, but I have not tracked down Butthead yet.

By this time next year, I hope to be saying my most expensive is Freddy Funko as Doctor Who. I have been saving a bit here and there to pick one up.
Please Funko make Taylor Swift Pops!

Most wanted non-Taylor Pops: Carson Teva, Naru from Prey, The Last of Us TV show

No idea what the most I spent personally was but I am CHEAP when it comes to Pops and the most I remember paying for an individual one on the secondary market was $50 for Doctor Doom in 2016 lol

I’d rather trade if I want it that bad but no spending big money Pops for me…and are we talking individual pieces or hauls?

When I was more active as a retailer I would spend around $7,000 for a pallet of different items, that’s around two dozen master cases and that’s a little over 800 Pops and trust me, the shipping costs were pretty steep from Washington to NY…I think the smallest pallet was still over $700 to ship :eek:

Definitely don’t regret it and back then it was different doing business with Funko. It still felt like a mom and pop…They didn’t even have a switchboard and I would call and anyone would answer the phone…this is around 2016-17 and I remember Ashley started out answering the phones…every time I see her now I always feel proud of her because I remember those early years and the growth has been amazing to see and be a part of

I’m fairly new to collecting Funko Pop!s, but my biggest purchase was $395 for pink chrome Batman (2019 NYCC Exclusive). It was somewhat of an impulse buy and I had some initial buyer’s remorse for spending so much, but I really love how the piece looks. I also have the blue chrome variant, and am hoping to get the emerald chrome variant in the near future.

My general rule is retail or bust, but I have only bought 4-5 Pops in the last 10 years above retail. The highest was about $125 and it was a Freddy Superman. I can’t justify going crazy on the secondary market for Funko items.

Still have not got the nerve to spend more then $150 for a Pop. But I think the highest so far is a con sticker MHA Nejire. But we will see since there are some I will definitely need to pull the trigger on and spend the money on.

It's ironic because the most money I spent was also on the biggest item I own lol

I don't regret it because I think there are only 3-5 out there, but there is a decent amount of sun damage.

My biggest purchase was about 700 dollars. I bought a bunch of pops because they were all a set. I wanted to display the figures in my room! It was totally worth it!

The most I ever spent at one time was $250 for the set of 4 original Haunted Mansion ghosts. I've only spent $80 maybe a couple of times (I remember one being the original Genie) since collecting, but honestly won't really spend more than $60 for something, even if I really want to add it to my collection. I'm having a hard time finding a Creed Bratton Specialty Series set at a price I want to spend, since my last order didn't go so well. I have to have a limit somewhere, and don't have thousands to burn at once for my collection. Haha.

I'm a big fan of common sales, though. I very rarely pre-order right away unless I just absolutely can't live without knowing I'll have it in my hands eventually. I will pre-order exclusives when they come available, though!

The most I spent on a single pop was $90 on bloody Glenn, I was adamant about collecting all of walking dead at the time and I knew Glenn was about to meet his demise so I pulled the trigger. I absolutely hate paying secondary prices but I made the exception and I don’t regret it at all.

Also after reading your guys’ most spent, $90 is chump change, my wallets feeling pretty good right now lol

About $75 for SDCC Bakugo. Figures the one pop worth splurging on for myself would drop so much in value but I have no regrets. He's my favorite character, I'd been hoping for an action pose Bakugo for years, it was my birthday, and with covid stuff I just really needed something to be happy about.

NO WAY so jealous that’s the best deal ever made that funko pop is now definitely well over $20k what year did you purchase most likely the second most expensive funko pop ever made.
