Is there a gallery of Apps completed with Livecode?

Hi,
I would have thought that there would be a list somewhere showing apps completed and published using Livecode, a gallery of sorts. I really want to know what LC is capable of, the "build an app in 3 hours" video did everything but inspire me.
At present I use Sencha (java based) but my brain is beginning to hurt due to the syntax, also multi platform deployment is painful. A friend suggested LC, but I have seen no examples and very few recent video's. Also the fact that you need to purchase lots of bolt on's including MobGUI to get any sort of native app appearance concerns me, especially due to the apparent update cycle (bug fixes!!) which result in shelling out more cash every three months or so.
Seriously, every time I think what the hell, I'm going to buy, I end up stepping back once I get to the RunRev site. It's like trying to buy a cup of coffee and a sandwich in the US!! Too much choice, too much confusion. Then to make matters worse, a week later I get a mailshot which offers major savings against the purchase I almost made. Thats like biting the bullet when you buy a Mac, because a few months later theres always a faster better one out!!
Anyone help, I have downloaded the demo, but as you can imagine I need to reprogram myself from the Java mindset (can't wait). But before I do this, I just want to see what LC can actually do in the real world, download some of its apps and put them to a test to get a feel for speed and functionality.
Thanks.
