Pretty much curious how much everybody else has spent on something in one go thats considered 'nerdy' not talking about a gaming rig pc or games console though, those are fairly standard.

I play a trading card game called yugioh, and have spent some silly money on that but made a lot too so its counter balanced. However I just brought a Lightsaber replica  for arond £340 which i'm recouping a chunk of the costs from the cards I have spare and are valuable aside from looking cool as hell, and being a childhood dream and using it at a comic con it has no use but to look cool.

Whats your biggest nerd buy?

Mojo

Never really made any purchases like that but I did buy an Apple Watch for £330 recently. I think people call that "hipster" rather than nerdy though. Idk :3

I've spent a lot of money on LARP gear. My costume comes to about $400 US and that's considered quite cheap, but I'm new to it. I'm working my way up.

I'd love to go to one in London. Hopefully I'm getting a RL friend addicted to the game so I have somebody to travel with, his currently like level 16 so its a work in progress.

I have three bass guitars, I don't know if thats 'nerdy'?

Suffud

Guitars are really nerdy, people only play them in basements.

Nah guitars are sweet, I tried to learn when I was 15, don't have the fingers for it. Shame as I love the sounds that come from them.

Spent about £500 on CS:GO cases+keys. Got skins worth roughly £100 after all that lol. It's more of a gambling addiction than nerdy.

I own a huge LOTR collection of that, might paint a few up in near future but i've not played it for ages, generally played it with friends who arnt around now and the shop pretty much scared me. Whole flem in throat sterotypical nerd types there.
