I think I'm at around $350 for the day - although I kinda lost track during the evening

I have exerted restraint -- my 1750 points still sit there.
Also, "microtransactions", not MONSTER transactions folks ( ' ;

I managed to keep to my 1750 points I already saved up, but if my purchasing habits in Team Fortress 2 are any indication, I'm going to be at least $150 bucks in the hole by the end of this month.
Well played Paragon, well played.

I had 1750 points. I bought the party pack emotes for .50 each.
I have a lot of points left.
Actually, I was considering buying $100 worth of points and getting some enhancement storage increases, but had sticker shock at the pricetag of $20 for 10 slots.
I just caved in and bought $100 bucks worth of points. My reaction:

I'm waiting a couple days for the software to settle down, then calculate what I need to spend to get into the top tier and all 3 items there. Luckily, not that much (on my main account - I'm posting from a 2nd account since they borked the forum login). I think it will be $90 or $105.

But I already have a monster of a computer I got for GR - it doesn't really need updating right now - plus, it was my birthday last month, and I got lots of the stuff that I wanted then, so it's not like I needed to spend this cash today on anything else |

I used some of my 1600 points to get Beam Rifle and the server transfer special (was quite pleased to find I could get those with points rather than actual over-and-above money). Next purchase will be Street Justice.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!
@Starflier
I put down $50 so I could get all my costume slots (rawr!!) and after getting those, the aura/cape unlocks, the barbarian pack, backpack and Beam Rifle, I've still got about 1k points left, and nothing else I really want to buy.
... which is a shame, because I've hit T9 and need 3 tokens to get those celestial pieces. I'm very doubtful I'll be able to wait 3 months for those 
Save some points for next month too - the devs have said that the Halloween stuff that'll be in the market then will be awesome

Did anyone buy the Barbarian set? I seem to be having an issue with it, I bought it but its unlocking. I am looking at the individual pieces and they still all show as locked.
Has anyone had luck? I bought it about 4 hours ago.. and have been offline since then and logged back on to no avail.
Oh, wow. I haven't spent anything yet. I will, but probably not on that order of magnitude. I won't lie, I want everything right this second. But like the Incarnate rewards, I'm perfectly content with building it all up over time.
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)

Yup, I bought it. No issues except that I hate the leather panties.

I had no problems. It took effin' forever for me to find some of the things, but I found them. |

Likewise, I didn't have any problems with the steampunk costumes or the server transfer bundle.
Thank you, Champion.

Tempted to purchase the additional enhancement tray, but holding off on getting more for now. Got new power and costume sets to look forward to after all.
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
I didn't spend anything extra, but I did pick up beam rifle, the hover board, and the barbarian pack. I'm very unlikely to be making any monster purchases, but I am most likely to be spending more on the game than I used to, and really I'm ok with that 
MA Arcs: Yarmouth 1509 and 58812
I picked up Beam Rifle, Cyborg bundle and the server transfer bundle. Left me with 80 points and I didn't even have to spend out of pocket!
Ended up with 30 tokens but I didn't read much about the rewards system so I didn't get around to spending the 5 unused.
Maestro Mavius - Infinity
Capt. Biohazrd - PCSAR
Talsor Tech - Talsorian Guard
Keep Calm & Chive On!
All I bought were the barbarian bundle, the backpack, beam rifle, and rocket board. That brought me only to paying $5 for the extra points to cover my expenditure.
And I'm fine with that, as that's all I need for now. A lot of items on the Market seem suspiciously like money traps.
