Accidentally breaking my Elite 14 Booker Ts hand. I never realised his cloak went through a plastic slot and the same for his scepter so when I pulled it out the hand snapped. One day I'll buy another (if it's ever cheap again) and switch it from the bicep, as I think sentimental value, so I try to change as little as possible. He's fine but when I play with my figures the hand sometimes falls out. The only over Mattel figures that broke on me were also from the hand. Series 6 Kelly Kelly but "that wasn't my fault" (snitsky quote) and Elite 5 rey which just randomly broke after like a year and a bit.

Passing on the early series elites at retail stores. I wasn't collecting Mattel at that time. Figures like E12 Kane, E16 Kevin Nash.
I regret not buying loose figures from Ringside Collectible when they where dirt cheap. Like NWO Macho Man and several loose legends.

My biggest regrets are waiting on figures that I thought would come down in price but instead either sold out or went up in price: Bossman, EG Jericho, DM Austin, All Stars Jake, All Stars Punk. I've managed to pick up most of them for reasonable prices or trades but I probably won't ever get that Punk figure. No Pipe bomb Punk for me

Kamala, Akeem, and Rick Martel were all available at some point on clearance at various Wal-Marts in the area for five bucks and I skipped them.

The hand came glued shut out of the box and when I tried to move it it broke off. Just last week member RV f'n D hooked me up with a spare Regal arm so I swapped it onto the elite. No worse feeling than when Regal's hand broke off, I can only imagine with Booker.

The worst thing was I couldn't take it back as it was a birthday present which was bought two months before. Sorry to here about your Regal problem.

My biggest Mattel regret is waiting until 5 years after the line started to start collecting. So many old figures I want that have inflated in price. Sucks! That's exactly my problem, eBay has killed my pockets!!

Not buying Elite 14 King Booker when it was under $70 online. Still baffles me the after market price of this figure... Yes, I ended up paying $85 shipped. Hurts.

passing on L4 Savage & Flashback Edge are my biggest regrets easily. I have remedied the rest.....but these 2 are still annoying me. I can't find E7 HBK or E9 Gallows for my life. I finally got E13 Edge two weeks ago, but finding HBK and Gallows simply isn't possible There's a few Gallows on eBay going for about $80 shipped, DX HBK about the same.
