1. I found British Bulldog & Brian Pillman at Toys-R-Us but only had enough money for 1. I picked up Bulldog and regretted it. I wasn't too into collecting at the time I really only picked up figures every so often and now I regret not supporting the Legends Line when it was out. 2. Elite 7 Tyson Kidd shelfwarmed at my Wal-Mart for about a year and I never picked it up, now he's one of my favorite wrestlers. One time I went to Wal-Mart and they had the entire Elite 7 set. I had been wanting Hart Dynasty & DX but on this day I couldn't decide whether or not to get any, I only had enough for 1 or 2 at the time, and regretted it ever since. 3. I wish we weould've gotten an Elite Shelton Benjamin and an Elite Chavo Guerrero in trunks didn't we get an elite chavo? lol yeah, completely forgot. Anyways I would've loved one of him in his trunks he switched to but he left the company before we could get one.

Easily #1 will be missing out on Hollywood while he was under contract.
Otherwise for me, when I started acquiring the legends line on the secondary market I was a little too picky and cheap. I got a lot of good deals but I turned down a lot of good deals too in hindsight.

According to this thread, Mattel needs to re-issue the early Legends line. It was still so close to the end of the Jakks line that I waited and missed several, just like many have mentioned here. I agree! I think there's a clear desire for this line...

I regret not getting back into collecting earlier. My most wanted figs are RSCex Austin and RSCex Bret. I saw them on RSC when they came out but I always thought that being in my late twenties then, I was too old to collect toys.
I also saw lots of Demolition, George Steele, and Warrior from the Legends line at a flea market last week for $15 each MOC. I'm not a fan of any of those guys but I feel like I'm going to regret not picking something up.

Starting with Jakks first and not Mattel. Would've saved me tons of money if I did instead of paying horrific scalper prices. Funny thing is, my first figure was Macho E23...

I passed up on legends Akeem for the longest time. Then when RSC had it loose I kept holding off and I finally ordered it with a bunch of pre-orders and when it shipped they had sold out and never sent me mine. I got a reimbursement but I had to buy it for $35 bucks on eBay.

My biggest regret is starting my Mattel collection. My second biggest regret is not stock piling on display stands.. Who would have thought a few hundred wouldn't be enough.

Jeez, I never snagged some of the Legends I want now. But here are a few I missed on. 1. Bushwhakers, saw it a lot and never got it. 2. All of series 1 except Slaughter. Then look who gets released later. 3. Legends 3 Vader, Perfect and Rock. Got 31, basic perfect but never got that Rock. 4. Everyone except Jim. Best line imo, and missed out. 5. Legend series 5 Macho, Akeem and Bigelow. 6. Everyone in series 6. I was going to get Eddie but some jackass stole the belt. 7. Never finding Honky Tonk Man at retail.

Buying lots of figures I didn't really need as I had to get money out my bank which I was saving for driving lessons. Now with a lot of figures and other stuff I have to pay back £2,000.
People say have no regrets in life but I have a few lol.

passing on L4 Savage & Flashback Edge are my biggest regrets easily. I have remedied the rest.....but these 2 are still annoying me.
