Your biggest Mattel regrets.

I began collecting at the start of the line but skipped here and there to save money

I also stopped collecting from E13-28
Kinda regret that, kinda don't. Everything I missed (Edge, Bossman, Diesel, Nash, HBK, ect.) I was able to find relatively easily. They really just took time, but I got them all for steals considering what they go for

I honestly have very little regrets
Everything I skipped, I've been finding in trades easily
Only E7 HBK and E9 Gallows have been avoiding me like the plague (I finally bagged an E13 Edge)

The rest of my wants are easy cheap things (Legends Bob Orton, E22 Giant, ect.)

I honestly wish I had a loose DM Savage. My favorite figure to date, I have it MOC. Wish I had a loose. Not the end of the world though.

Here goes:

Passing on the legends two packs when they were on clearance.

Passing on Legends Bam Bam

Passing on E6 Goldust and Batista

Passing on E8 Regal

Passing of E13 Edge

Passing on E17 Kelly Kelly, Mankind at retail

Initially passing g on E18 Lawler

Not buying Legends Tully

Letting go of E16 Diesel and E17 Mankind

Letting go of NWO Savage

Letting go of a ton of awesome fodder when I first started collecting

I could probably keep going

My biggest regret will always be putting my high school life before the true love I have for collecting these figures. I started high school in fall of 2007 and was still keeping up on Jakks pretty decently. High School started to consume more time than it really should have and with the end of Jakks going down the way it did, I no longer cared. I've always checked the figure selection each and every time at every store, but at that time it was just laughable to look at the true garbage that Jakks released. Mattel started making figures and they were so much nicer but I still felt as though I had no use for them anymore. I always played with Jakks figures and again, I go back to the high school thing where I thought it was childish of me, but yet also didn't have to time to play with them if I wanted to. When they started to release Flashback after I graduated my interest was peeked tenfold. I then started to realize how much I missed collecting figures and that I didn't need to open them and play with them to get the same satisfaction as I did keeping them MOC and just looking at them. I started to pick more up starting with Elite 12 but didn't get really into it until a few series later. I have a ton of figures I wish I owned from the very start of Mattel, like the original DM's, early Elite, and Legends, but also a couple early Flashbacks, though Booker and Shango are the only ones I'm missing now. Collecting these figures, especially MOC, has become an absolute passion for me and everything Mattel does is simply awesome. I wouldn't trade my hundreds of Mattel collection and the thrill of the hunt for anything.

Same here. I'm glad Mattel rereleased DDP and SDCC Undertaker in the DM line. I hope these are successful enough that Mattel decide to continue re-releases.

Not picking up the CM Punk/Stone Cold All Stars 2-Pack

Getting Elite 16 Punk instead of Diesel. =\

Not buying Elite 14 King Booker when it was under $70 online.

My biggest regret was buying the basic triple pack of Batista, cena and Jericho those figures made me give up collecting as I thought jakks were so much better.

Fast forward to 2012, I was browsing amazon and thought I'd check what the figures looked like, to my horror saw a macho king who jakks never made and I had to have it.
Thats when I got the bug and had regrets as I had missed out on legends austin, booker t, big boss man and many more most of those are too expensive even for loose in the uk so I hope they re release booker t and legends austin.

Still baffles me the after market price of this figure...
