I'm curious to find out what is the most $ spent on one HeroClix figure?
Personally, I've spent $20 on Nightcrawler Unique at the local comic shop.
Let's hear it.
I spent $35 on the LE Annihilus. Personally, I think I got a heck of a deal. Other than that, usually no more than $15 for a U or LE.

$20 bucks for nightcrawler? That's all? Good deal, I'd have done that in a flat second. I loaned my friend 21 for a superskrull, but besides that it's 19 for fixit.

Yeah, when I saw Nightcrawler was $20, I jumped at it. I thought I would have to trade the winnings from my next three tounaments to someone to get it.
The Natasha Romanov LE #119 is at $102.50 on eBay right now. There have been 8 bids and there are still 5 days left on the auction.
The question is:
What are these people on?
$102.50 buys my family groceries for the week..

I accidentally was tricked into paying 38 dollars for Darkseid on Ebay. I was screwed but it wasn't ENTIRELY my fault. Other than that I'd have to say (not counting shipping) usually no more than 15.50 for any Unique. However I am thinking of raising my asking price to 20 for Nightcrawler. However I am going to give it a few months until X-plosion is released before I make any drastic decisions. The only reason I want crawler anyway is to complete my set... I'll find a good deal on him sooner or later. FYI I have gotten the following Uniques for 5 dollars
Wolverine
Black Spidey
Elektra
LE Wolverine (duh)
LE Superman (duh)
Captain America
I think if I try hard enough I can remember EVERY Unique I have ever drawn and KEPT (sometimes I resell them)

$22.39 Thanos (eBay)
$19.99 Nick Fury (eBay "buy it now")
now for cheapest.. get this.. Nightcrawler Unique.. $5.00 !!
right when CT came out i bought 4 boosters. My gf wanted teh different logos on the boosters so we swaped one booster out for another. i opened my boosters..no uniques but did get a vet doom and vet thor. i thought it would be funny to see what i would have gotten if i didn't swap out the 4th booster so the shop guy went ahead and opened the booster i put back and out cam a nightcrawler. now at this time nobody had any idea which uniques were worth what, so i offered the guy $5.00 for the unique. He said yes. he though it would have been another "unique juggernaut or unique cyclops"
too bad.
The most expensive fig I ever got was V Annihilus, which I bought for $4. Hey, you didn't say it had to be big. :P
StormMaster
03/11/2003, 20:47
heh, $38 for a U Phoenix (my friend got it for me, but i had to pay him oh well, its worth it, since regular uniques are that much anyway -good ones like phoenix anyway- plus i got it early, so it was all worth it-)

I bought a R Thor for 1 buck. And I still feel just a little mad at myself for buying a single, since it's not my nature to do so. :(
But it's a swell figure!

Most i've spent on a Heroclix figure would be $20us on ebay for a Unique Batman.
Of course..the most I've earned for one figure was $61us for an LE Doctor Doom on ebay. Ah ebay, I love you.
Sundancer
03/11/2003, 21:47
$30.00 for Thanos on ebay.
Most made--$50.00 for Sue Storm.
Doin' most made now huh?
OK then, I paid $35 for LE Annihilus (as stated earlier)... that's the most I ever paid.
Most I ever made was $45 from a unique Nightcrawler.... twice! Two times I've had people use the "Buy it Now" for $45. Ah Ebay... I love you too! :D I've had more Nightcrawler's than Kurt Wagner's got fingers and toes!

I saw some kid buy a banner LE for a cool $100 at a tournament. Couldn't believe it. The kid obviusly gets way too much money from his mommy. Spoiled little punk....
$175 for the 4 IC LV-5 LE's
Victor Creed
Bruce Banner
Philip Masters
Annihilus
$60 Tia Senyaka
I do have to say that Tia is worth every penny though.

I've sold both an LE Doctor Doom and an LE Arthur Curry on EBay for $55.00 each (throuygh "Buy It Now").
That'll work out to about fifteen boosters of Xplosion, which I'd rather have than two figures. :)
I paid $39 for U Nightcrawler and have seen him go for as much as $50

03/12/2003, 08:44
A local place has a "spend $x on boosters/starters, get that much in singles credit" ongoing deal, so by those standards, I either paid $32.50 for Thanos or I got him for free.....
After that, though, I think the most I paid was about $17 for Vision, though there's a bunch in that range.
The most money i ever paid for one figure is $42.00 for a Unique Nightcrawler on eBay.
$3 for Vet Thor
$3 for Vet Hercules
$2 for Experienced Thing
almost paid $10 for Nick Fury but whimped out

Currently $50 for the LE Yellowjacket, but the LE Blastaar hasn't finished on Ebay yet, so that could all very well change.

I see a lot of people bragging about how much money they saved getting X unique or Y LE. But really haven't we all spent more on boosters than we should have. Couldn't you have bought the figures you wanted straight out and possibly saved some dollars rather than having thirty rookie Rogues you can't trade?

As of today, £10 for Mojo. I figure it was easier than buying two packs for the same amount and getting more R Hawkeyes. I'm not really a fan of buying Heroclix figs at big prices but I can just about fork out £10. I do not find any of the LEs to be significantly game altering to warrant their ridiculous ebay prices, even Doc Doom.
Thunderbolts
03/12/2003, 14:20
I agree with Weasel 1000%. I am strongly considering not bothering with an Xplosion case this time, especially if the boxes really are tamper proof now. I'll buy them in a set amount at a time, dump off the ####, then get some more, and buy the figs I never seem to get.

Let's just say a whole lotta salary to complete the three sets. The three that made me wince were:
Enchantress: $20
Unique Wolverine: $30.00 (traded $9 worth)
Unique Six-Arm Spidey: LE Eddie Nashton
The cost of completed love

Well, lets see, I could answer this one of two ways........so I'll answer them both!
The most I paid for one figure was $100.00 BIN on E-bay for the X-plosion Hulk U! Now, before you guys start ripping me apart.....I was doing it on behalf of someone else. Of course, by now, most of should know this.
Me personally, I paid $95.00 for Victor Creed. I finally had the money, so I threw caution to the wind. Doubt very much I'll ever do that again. The more days that pass, without him arriving in the mail, the more things I think about, that I could've put that money to use for. Luckily HC cases isn't one of those.

03/12/2003, 14:33
I don't see myself paying any more than $35 for any figure that is still pretty available at or near original price.
U Flash was the most expensive for me.
I've really only bought The two big deluxe starter boxes and two regular starter boxes - beyond that I bought about three large lots of thirty on ebay and one lot here, and traded from there to get my total of about 450 clix.

03/12/2003, 15:55
most I spent on a single figure was 19.87 for a U mr. fixit (which I just traded for a U vision, there was a good waste of money) I personally don't both with boosters anymore. If I need some clix its just cheaper to go to ebay then to keep buying boosters until I find what I'm looking for. Theres only a few Xplosion figs I'm looking forward to, but I bought 12 boosters for trading instead of actually hoping I'll get what I want.

$7.50 for Unique Electra.
Actually the only single I've ever bought and I already had it (trade bait to help complete XP). Everything else has been thru trades and I have three complete sets.

03/12/2003, 16:10
$2.00 for a veteran black panther. After about 40 packs he's the only one i have so i'm cool with that
$550.00 for an entire set of IC and HT Uniques, LEs, and Promos. I sold all of the LE's for around the same price and ended up with an entire set of IC and HC uniques for free.
Darkskaven
03/12/2003, 16:13
To me 3 € (about 3 $) is the maximum for a figure. I'm not a real addict (and collector) to pay more for a single miniature.
This way, I don't have so much U ... :( Except the ones from boosters and for an U Flash that I've got for only 2 $ on Ebay (France)! ;)
And I can't find someone in my place who wants to exchange one of my two U spiderman ! Quite frustrating !

I paid $20 for 2 Visions. He usually only charges me $5 for uniques so I was kinda hesitant. I traded one for Thanos.

I paid $15 for my spiril
Traded a LE Hawk Man For my LE Catwoman (she is awsome)
Then my frend traded me his LE Elekra he got a a tournament for my Exp. Black Cat then I sold Elektra to a canadian for $20.00 via ebay.
Looking to buy a Nightcrawler and a moondragon now so my highest will be changing soon.
The most I spent was about $100.00 (includes S&H) for the LE Banner on Ebay while ago. I then decided I couldn't make him work for me in battle...
So I sold him on Ebay a few short weeks ago.
I got $177.50 for him (not icluding S&H).
I then used my profit to buy a Victor Creed LE on Ebay. Now him I can make work!

I traded for an Arthur Curry in Neutral Ground then sold him off on ebay for a $120 bid price. A few weeks later, news came down through WK that he would start appearing in Prize Support and before long he was fetching $60, tops. Talk about timing!
Kid Zemo
$3+tax for a vet Dr Strange :-)
Also, just got a set of Ultrons for $9 shipped :-)
You guys get nightcrawler cheap in the US
Here in the uk he gos for at least 30 uk pounds.
I paid £34 for mine which is about 55 of your US "bucks"
He is very high demand over here

The single most expensive was:
$20.00 for black suit superman. (I had a good army idea for him at the time.)
I picked up some LE's at 10 bucks from a local dealer we call "crazy legendary guy." Unfortunately what he has is limited. I never buy off ebay cause my only credit card is attached to my bacnk account and I don't wanna mess around with that.
I need nightcrawler. I need speed!
about 25.00 for comm. gordon
You no longer need to put your visa/master card # on ebay

I paid 16 dollars for an Enchantress I had to have it. She is so darn cool and such anyway the most i sold something for was Johnny Storm LE for 36.01 on E-bay and for the record i have a buddy who will spend 35.00 for the IC black Spidey.
Looking for Spiral and Red Skull PM me if willing to trade let me know what you are looking for and i will probably be able to get one. I have a Night Crawler and a Super Skrull if interested.

Somewhat ironically, the most I've spent on a Hero Clix "Figure" is for a clix that has no figure at all.
$51 for Ant Man and Yellow Jacket. I had the PayPal money from selling off some Simpson action figures and really liked the idea of these uniques that were new. They're fun to have.

$77 for Ted Kord LE.
Now this wasn't a direct exchange of cash for fig (that would've been stupid, since he was going for around $40 on ebay at the time), but that's what I spent in gas money and boosters/starters during the DC marquee weekend chasing after Ted.
I went to 5 marquee tournaments that weekend. The first one on Fri night was single elimination, which pissed me off to no end. Had I known that before hand, there was another one I could've gone to. (And the guy's reason for running it that way made no sense at all. He had somewhere he needed to be, so he said that would be faster, but 3 rounds is 3 rounds - it would've taken exactly the same amount of time. Besides, if he didn't have the time, he shouldn't have scheduled it for then. He also claimed that 8 people wouldn't work for the swiss format, which was nonsense. I figured out later that it works perfectly! That store has since had their sanctioning pulled by wizkids [for something completely unrelated, so far as I know], which is both good and bad. It satisfies my thirst for vengeance, but it gives me one less place to play.) Sure enough, I had a bad first round and went home early. I did pull a unique from each booster though, so it was pretty much a wash.
The one I went to Sat at noon I won, so I should have stopped right there, taken 40 bucks and bought Ted on ebay. But I didn't. I went to another one that night and 2 on Sun. (Those 3 are where the $77 comes in.) I nearly came away empty-handed from all 3 , but at the very last one, I got lucky and got the fellowship award. Now, one can argue that I got $50+ dollars worth of product and that Ted was free, but out of all that product, I got no uniques and maybe like 3 nons that I needed. So to my way of thinking (I'm a massive cheapskate), I got a $77 Ted Kord. And a good story. (Ok, maybe not that good.)
I saw another thread asking what the crown jewel of your collection was, and had I ever gotten around to posting there, my answer would have been my $77 Ted Kord. I'm not parting with him for anything! (Ok, maybe a Banner or Creed;) )

Other than money spent on tournaments, starters and boosters, I've only spent about $20 on singles - at a rate of $1 for rookies, $2 for exp, and $3 for vets. Oh, and for $7.50 I got a Sentinel from a guy who didn't want him anymore. I am a massive cheapskate, after all.

That LE Blastaar I was intending to purchase closed at $182 on Ebay yesterday. I mean, Blastaar is a cool character and all, but I could purchase a WHOLE FRIGGIN CASE of clix for that amount! C'mon people!!! $182 for one click of Invulnerability (and still only 7 clix of health) and a piece of plastic (that's painted) is just a little out of my realm of sanity.

Where I'm at, the dealer is extremely fair on prices (to the point that now, he refuses to carry Yu-Gi-Oh because he feels that Upper Deck is using unethical means to inflate the price of boosters). As such, he charges only $15 for a unique, no matter what the unique. I ended up getting a Darkseid from him for that price.
