What is a reasonable monthly toy budget?

[Marauderspawn]

I try to keep my buying between $200 and $400 a month. Basically that is all I can really afford. My budget also includes video games too.

*mind completely blown by that ammount* Seeing it typed...wow. But then again...if I factor the Halo and the manga in together, I guess I spend around $100-$300 a month...eep

[Cosmic Cow]

Wow, I wish I had that much per month to spend. I'm lucky if I get $50 to myself...

[DrOctagonn]

Somewhere around 7k a month. I still don't get everything I want, but oh well.

[Starfig]

Well, I'd like to say $20. Buuut, I probably spend $100-$200 easily...depending on what's out of course. >< I need to slim things down.

[skull boy]

$0 if you're in debt.

[kuwabara_kuwabara]

Dude, this question again? Bump the old thread, or something. :p

[jt4470]

Really depends..
And yea, you asked this already......

[Marauderspawn]

Vidoe games probably contribute about $100 or so towards my budget. I just started getting into some Hot Toys stuff and we all know they are not cheap.

[SpawnFan1]

^^ lol

:D

[Karnis]

No more than 3% of your monthly home expenses such as mortgage/ rent, bills, food, etc.

...oh, wait.....

[RzeznikK]

Wow...

I have a hard enough time to claim $100 a month on myself. With the exception of these last two monthes I got my tax return, and spent....way.....too.....much.

[theMahl3r]

Other than my tax return, bills/groceries/gas take away all but $50-$150 per month. IF that.

[Mr.Sci-Fi]

probably around $400 or more

I want to see collection pics of this "7k a month" bull****. Yer collection better be filled with the most outrageous stuff ever for that. I want to see life size T2's and stuff.

Dude, this question again? Bump the old thread, or something. :p

I'm sorry. Do you not know Marauderspawn? That's just not how he rolls. He has a contract though spawn.com to make at least 5 threads per day. Sorry, gotta make that quota.

Me personally, I try not to spend to much. I would say under $50 per month is my average. Some months I go over, like when there is a new Halo Series, other months I spend nothing. So far this month I'm about $65 (Camo Punisher & Heroic Halo). Last month I don't think I spent anything on Figs. Maybe the Halo points stuff but that's it.

[shawnspookcity]

some months it's only like $100. Some months it's like $1000.

Rewording your crappy thread titles is no cover up. You must be finally running out of things to talk about.

I second this.

[Dreamcatcher]

It's crisis time less than $100

Jack Sparrow: What is a your monthly budget of toys, reasonably?

[Metroid9989]

I work for toys. Until next month...gotta buy a car. :eek:

[Samie311]

hmm. my budget is in the negative till i either sell some stuff or go back to work. haha. but when i was working i'd say i spent about $100-$250 a month >_<

[Samie311]

I work for toys. Until next month...gotta buy a car. :eek:

ohh ya. thats gonna be great. i pay $226 a month on my car and $130 on insurance. which is crazy tough with unemployment lol. but if i didnt have those to pay i'd be blowing my money lol

[Metroid9989]

I found out I have to buy a car today & I get a promotion from walmarts ***** to toys sales associate. ALL IN THE SAME DAY!

[Mr. Wiggity Man]

That's a pretty fat budget Marauder. Although it varies from month to month, if I had to say an average, it'd probably be about 100 bucks.

[Peter Hoffman]

I try to keep it at $100 a month. Some months it's a lot more, like this month, some months it's less. I usually find something to buy though.

[Spawnomite]

Where's my credit card? :D

[Metroid9989]

When in a bad mood i usually buy a toy cause in a childish kinda way it cheers me up.

[mmevile]

....."reasonable", "toy" & "budget" are words that don't mix here. ;)

[frinspar]

$0 ever planned for anything. Only when the mood strikes, and it ain't often now.

[IronLungs31]

some months it's only like $100. Some months it's like $1000.

This is more what my budget looks like on a month to month bases. Maybe a few time I have went over that mark especially when I was getting all the old SP's.

[LTrain016]

less than £50, but those hot toys are becoming more and more appealing, which would send my spending through the roof.

[crowinghorse]

I try to sell stuff to buy new stuff - considering I've been collecting seriously for over 12 years now, I'm able to - most months - sell enough stuff to buy the new stuff I want. And having a job for Figures.com helps offset the cost of having to buy the more spendy pieces I would want to buy and own...

[Wrestling Fan]

This week I spendt $60 on Harry Potter toys on eBay (including shipping). Before that, I hadn't bought a toys since....October/November. Bad, I know. But I've been spending like $80 a month on comics too. Of course my toy costs will be going up in and for the next few months as the new NHL series came out and I'm getting back into collecting WWE figures as well

[gringo]

Mine is right now at around 10k/month. Going to knock down some low income apartments, so I can build a new building to store this years pick ups.

[Esponcito]

This question doesn't apply since McFarlane doesn't produce cool figure anymore.

[Naughty Messiah]

Spending nothing seems about right. Toys are for kids.

[Mr.Sci-Fi]

Spending nothing seems about right. Toys are for kids.
So you steal them from the kids?

[Spartan-516]

Spending nothing seems about right. Toys are for kids.

why are you even here?

[mikedanger]

some months it can be as high as $500, but other months it's as low as $0

[ilovefreestufftoo]

Mine varies. Sometimes it's a few hundred dollars to $1k.
