What's the most you've ever spent on a single RPG-related item?

[Mercurius]

Come on, fess up. What's the biggest sack of gold pieces you've dropped for "The Shiny?" This could be miniatures, game books, even game accessories like tables and other set-ups (although if you go with that sort of thing, also include your most expensive game item).

The most I've spent is probably about $150 for the Dragon Titan of Aarklash resin miniature for the Rackham Confrontation game. I don't think I've ever spent over $100 on any other RPG-related item; the closest is probably when I dropped about $85 on a copy of the Wilderlands of High Fantasy box set a couple years ago.

I bought my Wife a chaos space marine army and all the rules for 40k and paints and things. That was painful. Probably about $250 to $300 when all was said and done. Made her happy, though, so it was worth it.

The most ever on one item was the Cthulhu clix I bought at Gencon a few years ago. That was $80 I think. The 2nd most was the AT-AT figure from the Star Wars miniature line at $50. But the interesting part of the whole story was getting the Cthulhu figure home in my luggage. I had to debox it and cram it into my suitcase while not puncturing any of the other stuff I brought home.

On a single item?

Probably on the 3.5Ed and/or 4Ed boxed sets. Otherwise, I simply don't buy expensive gaming products. I even bought most of myna dwarves Corge stuff on deep discount.

I spent $463.99 on the projector that I use exclusively for projecting RPG maps onto the tabletop. Money well spent in my case!

Beyond that, I really haven't shelled out a lot of cash on more conventional gaming stuff. I guess the Pathfinder Core Rulebook is the most expensive conventional gaming item I've purchased.

Well you didnt specify table top but just RPG so here goes

In 1996 i spent $1800 on a pentium 120 just to play Diablo when it came out

I've spent so many thousands on games and minis that I have a room completely dedicated to them. Nerd rep

For me it was the Ptolus book back then. I pre-ordered it directly without thinking about custom. It cost me some 125 Euro, which would have been about 150 $ at the time.

Single item? Probably H4 - Throne of Bloodstone. I paid $129 for it back before PDFs were available and I was trying to complete my D&D 1E/2E collection.

Non-roleplaying, the most I paid was ~$300 for a copy of the electronic Dark Tower game.

The most I've dropped at one time for game stuff has probably been close to $500, at a Con I went to one year. It was a bunch of 40K stuff (1200 point Eldar army [back when that was $90], Armorcast Shadowsword & Baneblade, Land Raider, Advanced Space Crusade and a fistful of 1E D&D modules).

Biggest single purchase?

World's Largest Dungeon. 100 bucks plus shipping from the States to Japan.

Although, not a single purchase, my Dragon sub was well over 100 bucks a year because I was an international subscriber.
