You see a figure in every store you go into while looking for other figures, and you keep passing it up for whatever reason. Then one day, you decide you want it after all, and go back to all those stores you saw it at for a long time before, only to find, they're all out. Then you end up ordering online, possibly for a higher price, plus shipping, and risk damage to the package...

Yeah, I think that has probably happened to everyone on here at least once during their collecting days.
Or when you sell a figure because you aren't in need of it, only to come to a conclusion a year or so later that you do need it and pay triple the price for it because its more rare now.

And in my case, it's usually a figure that warms the shelves for a long time. Just today, I decided I want The Ascension battle pack. I've seen it at Target for months. Went today, it was gone.

Yep, on both accounts. Particularly the 2nd, I sold the earlier Elite Yokozuna, because we have 3 Targets here, and I was finding multiple of him at all 3...so I took the decent coin for his original Elite, and now? Can't find the HoF one ANYWHERE.

Check Toys R Us, if you have one. There were probably 20 of them at mine yesterday. Seriously.

Hasn't happened to me yet at retail, but I passed up 1-2-3 kid at Walgreens for $15 today. And I passed on the nod yesterday for $40. I don't have either of those yet. I don't plan to buy kid but i do want nod eventually

That was me and HOF 2 Yokozuna. Saw him a bunch at first and passed him up but when I wanted the Tag Titles and the figure I couldn't find him to save my life so I just bought him on eBay for a decent price.

Same here. They are literally falling off the pegs at my TRU.
