Dragon Destiny
The gorgeous kit of Kanu that we previously saw at the Wonfes is now available on pre-order as a pre-painted figure.
Kanu and her lovely yoko pai's is going to set you back 17,650 yen - discounted from 20,790 yen at AmiAmi.

The most I ever paid for a figure was about 7,000 yen (I think) for Mizuki Takase. She was sold out at the time but her eyes were calling out to me and I just had to have her - found her on Yahoo Auction Japan.
Whats the most you've ever paid for a figure/gundam, how much was it and where did you get it?

the most i've spent was $75 on a Fate Testarossa by Alter.  The pose, huge sword, and cape caught my eye.  It was this past Anime Expo.  Saw it and just had to get it.

Usually $50-60 is my ideal range for figures, but lately there's so many I want and the prices seem to be on way up like everything else.

I know the feeling.  Caught my eye too at Anime Central when some guy was walking by with the box.  I was able to snag the display model after the con for about $70

But over 200?  um...no.

i really want that Kanu figure, but at that price, its out of my range for now. 
the most i've spent on a figure was roughly 150 CAD for a Freeing Haruhi Bunny. most of my figures are in the 50-80 CAD range
as for the most i've spent on gunpla...lol i've lost count of how much money i've spent on gunpla, but the most expensive purchase was probably the PG strike rouge clocking in at around 250 CAD.

That's a nice Kanu figure there. Cooler than the Alter figure I pre-ordered for next month. That price is way out of my budget. 

My most expensive Gunpla purchase was a Extreme Blast Destiny MG at MYR280 (~9200 Yen) when it just got released. I regret my impatience as I have yet to start building it and the price now has dropped to MYR240(~7900 Yen) :(

I wonder about Disk Vision's Kanu since I prefer theirs over this one, even though this one looks simply pretty. Most I ever paid was 228 SGD after discount for limited blue Mai from last year's Summer Wonfes.

Yes, the older resin one, the same as in that link, although I paid less than that price.
She makes almost all my other figures look like trash, except Kureha.

Not sure if it counts, but my most expensive figure suprisingly is fully clothed. It was The 1/6th Scale LEON S. KENNEDY (Leather Jacket version) from BIOHAZARD 4. Cost me 18,858 YEN from HLJ. (around £92 to us Brits)

Worth every penny.

Good grief, that's expensive. I'd rather get the kit and paint it meself. The most I've ever spent was ~$120 Australian Dollars, for the MG Hi-Nu Gundam. Thinking about it, it would have been cheaper to order it from hlj or something, but I was on holiday in Sydney, and the box art and the sheer size of the thing was too tempting.

Most I've paid for a figure was$80.00 USD, it was the Max Factory Kasumi from DoA, black dress. It was sold out everywhere. And I bumbed into it on Play-Asia dot com. Had to buy it since it was the dress I always use when I play DoA on XBOX. Her eyes are to big, and makes the figure lean forward a lot...sigh

Another one is the FREEing Haruhi one, bought it for like $109.00USD, but to me it's worth it, looks fantastic.

The most expensive Figures i buyed were pre-painted Gathering-Kits, 5 or so and each of them about 150-160 € (Euro)/ 23.000 - 25.000 Yen. Something like that: http://www.e2046.com/product_info.php?products_id=7343 
Much Money for some small Figures but there are so amazing ... there was only the way to buy them. But that's nothing to the fact, how much Figures i buyed in the last 6 Months ... too much. But i love it.

£37.99 for Akihime Sumomo. Which is.. *goes to check on fxtop* Which in yen is 7774. Wow... I know it was hard to get hold of at the time, but wow all the same. I would only knowingly spend that much to get Fauna or that girl from Eldweiss.

Normally I try to spend £30 or under. £40 would have to be my top limit, UNLESS, there was some amazing figure I fell in love with.

I paid A LOT on my Shana figure... it's the one she's sitting using casual clothing holding a melon-pan pillow.

Either that, or my Hazuki-chan were the most expensive, reaching almost 300R$ (which is about 150US$).

Probably half the price in Japan... but you know.. taxes, other side of the world, shipping...

For now, I think the highest figure I have ordered is 6800yen which I will have to pay like SG$105 to get it.
