I can't believe I didn't buy it!!!

I don't usually regret passing on figures because I'm usually able to get them for less later, but ones that come to mind: Flame-on Human Torch, but ended up getting him from a trade with quinten182 and Blade but ended up finding him again a few times at retail. It's more of a case where I wish I DID pass on a figure and ended up finding it cheaper later. It's the instilled craze "sky is falling" mentality. I wish I had omega's unwavering patience but sometimes, you get 2 or 3 people who start shouting that the world is about to end, get your yadda-yadda figure while you can and you almost get scared into it.

RenegadeOne · 09-21-2011, 06:21 PM

Blade would be number one for me. Warpath second... but I don't feel as bad anymore with the X-Force set. Astonishing Cyclops from the Wolverine:Origins line too. I'm thinking he's gonna eventually get re-released again anyways... especially with the two new Astonishing costume members coming. Some of the other hard to find ones like Flame-On Torch and Vision *sigh*, I never even saw in stores.

MeLikeJinx · 09-21-2011, 06:52 PM

I kind of regret passing on the regular TRU ML DP/Warpath set... only saw it once at TRU a few days before Christmas, but it was $40 and money is always tight around that time of year.

I also regret passing on 25th Alpine DVD Battlepack at Target... only saw it once at my Target's grand opening.

And apparently Tron: Legacy Caster is rare or something... I am pretty sure I remember seeing him at Target, because I remember looking at a fig and thinking, "Who the hell is Caster?" LOL.

I also regret passing on TCW Aayla Secura at Target, but she is being re-released next year, so maybe I will get another shot at her.

^ This. It it were a retail store like Target, Walmart or TRU, then I would just buy it since you can return it later. But most of the time I will see an MU fig at a LCS for like 15+ plus and you can't return it. So like I have to decide what are the odds I will see this figure at retail. I mean if it is a figure I really want... I'd just buy it no problem... I'm talking about the figures I only kinda want. LOL. For example I remember paying $15 each for Jean Grey and Mystique at my LCS. LOL.

Guardian and Electro. Wow, I've only seen Havok and Archangel variants 1 time, and snatched them up. I did regret missing flame on Torch, but he got repacked.

But I think this is a fun topic. I've passed on loads of stuff that I've heard people cry about that they want or that I've later cried about that I wanted. So post the things you regret passing on! Just a few of my large list includes..

Those loads of Giant Man and Skrull Giant Man boxsets that I kept passing on..

All the Marvel Legends when I was younger.. period.

I regret passing on the POTF Star Wars figures when they were being clearanced out at Circus World and KayBee toys when I was a teenager. I could have gotten an Endor Luke or a Stormtrooper Luke for two dollars. My mom sure made several offers to buy them for me but I didn't listen.

My LCS has a bpxed Tower of Doom for $20 that I might get for a MU display.

That's a great price for the Tower of Doom. You should def pick that up. My friend has one and it displays well with the MU figures.

trebleshot · 09-22-2011, 06:03 AM

Ok, since people don't seem to care that it's supposed to be Marvel toys only, we're just going to bump this over to Toy General Discussion, that way all toy lines are acceptable.

Also, my Marvel regret is passing on the GB Frost Giant/Loki the only time I saw it because I wanted to buy a DVD before the sale ended.

Biggest regret currently is not picking up the Titan Megazord from PR Mystic Force. Such an awesome toy (so I've been told).

quinten182 · 09-22-2011, 06:24 AM

Avast ye mod! We were moved! yarr! Talk like a pirate day was tuesday.. making up for missing out.

I passed on Warpath because I had no idea at the time why he was in silver and black and thought it was dumb.. oh man do I suck. Luckily I grabbed Vision that day though.

iLegends73 · 09-22-2011, 06:25 AM

mine would be ms marvel and dark ms marvel. had booth in my had and they were even on mark dwn to $5 i think. i put em dwn and never saw em again

KshatriyaNZ666 · 09-22-2011, 07:53 AM

Don't remember when, but I found the Darth Krayt 2-Pack at my local K-Mart. Didn't have enough money at the time, so I put it down thinking I'd come back the next day to pick it up. Did just that and it was gone. At first I just thought: "Oh well...".

Then last month, I recalled that 2-Pack thinking I could probably pick it up online and found out no one was taking less than $60 for it....

Didn't know much about the character, but I was really into the Yuuzhan Vong invasion a while back, so when I found out Krayt utilized Vong armor, it just upset me even more.

Good Stuff · 09-23-2011, 01:06 AM

my current regret is not buying the new Classic Lion-O from TRU...had 2 in my hands to choose from...but the price is too high to justify...plus I try only to limit my collecting to Marvel stuff...

How much are they? I'm guessing 23.99 like Batman Legacy. Heck, maybe more!!

Go to Walmart, if you can. Way better than TRU. The 8" Classics are only $16-17 each in the States, and hopefully it'll be a similar price difference in Canada.

Fortune · 10-04-2011, 12:44 AM

Passed on a DCSH Catwoman for 21$ at my LCBS

Fair enough, doesn't hurt to ask, I have an extra leg, but not the ab section that came with omega, but I kinda like the leg just for dio purposes.

vampireheart · 10-05-2011, 01:36 AM

Walmart Gigantic Battles Iron Man/Goliath Yellow/Blue never saw it at retail but once, should have picked it up but I thought "oh its a Walmart Exclusive it'll be here next week"

LeadButterfly · 11-06-2011, 02:56 PM

I didn't buy Rinzlers, and Sam Flynns identity disc when they were only $14, and everywhere...

LeadButterfly · 11-06-2011, 02:58 PM

Goddamn it, zombie thread...

jimster2010 · 11-06-2011, 03:13 PM

DCSH Doomsday, Lex Luthor, Bane, Scarcrow, and Knight Shadow Batman on clearance at Big Lots for $7.00 each 2 years ago. It haunts me.
