The total is around $1,500. The most I've spent as well (though most of these have been gifts). That's what i spent only last year on Mazinger special edition 01rb

Very short list of Robot Purchases for me in 2008: Daimos SOC Godannar SOC Reideen SOC Jeeg SOC Godmars SOC Tetsujin/Black Ox SOC Encore Ironhide Encore Ratchet Encore Jazz I remember when this list was 20-30x larger in previous years. I've severely "cut-the-fat" not giving in to "impulse" buys which end up on ebay.

Sadly, for me it looks like I'm going to have to seriously ease up on the Chogokins this year, I think the only big ones on my hit list right now are a Black Mecha Godzilla, SOC Gunbuster, and GFF Psyco Gundam Mk 2 (with Gamera, Gold Lightan, Jeeg, Gigan, Doublas, Ideon, Black Serena, Diamos, Garada, Boss Borot, Getter Poseidon and the T28/ Black Ox combo on my second string list)
I did manage to get nearly all my vintage collection last year, though, including a Popy Astro Boy, Jetter Mars, and two Mazinger Z's. Guess I'll be sticking to Robot Damashii and Revoltech this year.

I'm afraid to put my own list up, or even to think about it. It wouldn't be a pretty sight >.<. I have to curb my spending this coming year. I've already fail though, as three different SRW kits, an SDX knight gundam, and a figure statue in the last week all managed to slip into my "bought" list. <sigh> I'm with you, I'm afraid to count and list. Afraid and in some way embarrassed. $1500 annually, is probably low to average for most collectors just because of the disadvantage of the dollar to yen and the cost of our toys.

Um I;m mostly done collecting Microman and Micronauts. Now I'm getting into my SOC collection but unfortunately I've also learned about other diecast robots from other companies like Aoshima, CM;s, Yamato and Max Factory. My renewed interest in chogokin began this past January when I was sick for three weeks and I had plenty of time to research SOC and other diecast robots. I remembered seeing Baikanfu and Gunbuster when they were first released but since I didnt know anything about these robots I passed on them. Up to that time I had most of the chogokin style robots but none of the Evangelion toys. I had stopped collecting toys in2006 when I began divorce proceedings which sucked. The court was trying to take my entire toy collection but my lawyer managed to save it. I have recently sold some of the items in my collection to pay off bills from the divorce and that's when I started looking at getting rid of my SOC collection. As I began to take a second look at these great diecast creattions I realized why I liked them so much in the first place. The great detail and massive weight of these toys were much more compelling to me than trying to sell them off and pay another bill. I was sick and researching and with youtube descriptions of toys like Baikanfu and Gunbuster I was sucked into the world of modern chogokin! Now Im addicted and bought 25 new chogokin for my Diecast collection!
Gunbuster Goshogun Baikanfu Voltes V Dancouga Raideen DX Godmarz Leopaldon Sankan-Oh Iron Gear Ideon Danguard Ace Groizer-X King Joe King Joe Black Ankoku Daishogun black Godannar Jeeg Gurren Lagann sweet! Boss Borot Daitetsujin 17 Xabungle Daimos Black Ox Tetsujin 28
Now I'm looking forward to many of the upcoming releases for the SOC line and CM;s . I also am looking for many other chogokin that have already been out for some time. I know that it takes time and money to keep a collection going but its in my blood! Now back to the hunt!

Wow Danguard Ace for you Mazfan, isn't that a Yamato brand? If it is, nice to see that you are stepping away from the SOC brand only. I don't have quite the list that some of these guys have here but I will be getting the new GX-46 Daizengar and Aussenseiter Set (ordered) Maybe the New Shin Mazinger GX-45 Already ordered the Megahouse SD Daigengar and Aussenseiter. Waiting for online site to accept orders for the Fewture's Artstorm SD Dancouga and Baikanfu. Got the Alternity Megatron on order. Got both version of the Alternity Convoy (Prime). Contemplating whether I should get the NEW GFFM Zeta Gundam.

I think I just developed a fetish for them lately. ;D I barely finished pre-ordering the Getter renewals and ended up looking for their mazingers! First I thought of getting the 40th Ann version, but then I had a change of heart and went for the 1st issue. Manged to get the Great Maz, but with the Getters, the Shin Mazinger and the Max Dragonar all on Pre-Order, that's me tied up till Sept at least. So unfortunately the Fewture Z has to wait!
