As I was unpacking my figures at the new Apartment yesterday, and reading a thread on here about how Dusty's figs have jumped prices after his passing...I was contemplating this last night, a bit.
I"ve always been part of a lower income family. Often times I would/will make purchases and have to keep them sealed etc until next pay check comes around. This way, in case anything happens (life stuff happens, we all know this) and money priorities change, I could return them. This kept me from being tempted to do any "switcheroos" over the years. Sometimes they would go back, and still be there when I went back for them when I DID have the $. Often times, they were gone.
Over the years a number of figures have went back to the store, that I wish now I hadn't returned.
E1 Edge
Polka Dotted Dusty
DM Warrior
Elite Drew McIntyre
All come to mind over the years. I know for sure there are more, that just aren't coming to mind.
Anyone else returned/traded/sold off figures they wish they hadn't?

I once saw the Bella Battle Pack in the target the one in the red outfits it was like oh I can get that later and never ever saw them again and had to buy them on eBay and regretted that... and the two pack with CM Punk And Macho man..I returned it because I didn't like its packaging and I never found it again and still haven't been able to really find a good one MOC

That Punk/Macho 2 pack sat there FOREVER, so I let it sit. Finally decided to drop the money on it and wouldn't you know it? Gone. Same happened with the M$M that came out way back when, with the suit and M$ Title. Let it sit, thinking it would sit there forever, and it did for a couple months. Finally decided to drop the money on it, mainly when Jr started carrying the Title back when -- gone. |

Regret passing up? No. Regret buying? Yes, there's been plenty of Battle Packs I purchased where I didn't want the second figure that was in it.

And I figured why get Diesel if I'm wanting his different version? -- realized how valuable he would end up being, went back to K Mart for him -- gone. |

Definatly Elite series 7 HBK and HHH in DX attire. Man those two would look awesome next to XPac and NewAgeOutlaws Looked hard and then decided against. Glad the wife and family talked me into Hornswogle.

I once passed up on E19 Elizabeth but to my complete surprise she was somehow still on the pegs when I returned the following day. Luck was definitely on my side that day. Never will that happen to me again.
