Has there ever been a figure that you've maybe seen at retail or online and managed to talk yourself out of getting it only to find yourself later craving it? I know it can't be me but I want to see how many of my fellow wwe collectors it's happened to! A prime example of mine was e36 stardust, I had it in my hand in hamleys in the queue waiting patiently, when my niece threw a tantrum which made me put stardust back to avoid the hassle! Looking back I wish I just endured it  |

Off the top of my head: Basic Hurricane and the majority of the Legends. Specifically Mr. Perfect and Demolition when they were like $5.

When I first started collecting, Ringside had Legends Arn. 25 bucks. I didn't pull the trigger. Regretted it ever since.
Retail there has been many, but the one that stands out is HOF Slaughter. I had it in my hand but put it down in favor of Warrior. I had to have the belt included with Warrior. That Slaughter is (to me, anyway) a great looking fig.

I began collecting again in late 2014. I remember seeing Elite Billy Gunn at Walmart (where I get a 10% discount) and passed on him. I eventually picked him up at the flea market for $30.
I regret only buying one RSC Scott Hall when it was first released. I think that's about it.
I did pass on a Classic Superstars Andy Kaufman a while back, which I regret immensely!

E37 Cena comes to mind
E27? Rikishi. Passed on him the one and only time I saw him
Network Shawn Michaels. Like an idiot I put it off and put it off. And then they just disappeared from all shelves
Haven't really passed on many at retail. I've sold and traded waaay to many away that I regret now!

I don't get the pleasure of seeing new figures in store too often but I regret turning down a SS Heritage Chris Masters for £3 in Tesco. Also Layla, Vickie Guerrero and Eve Torres in Asda.
Eventually got Vickie and Layla online but the search for Eve continues!

Sheik and Volkoff 2-pack. I didn't have any reason to purchase such an item at the time but something about that was telling me to get it. I didn't. A short time later, I saw Ricky Steamboat and I didn't hesitate. Then I saw Macho Man and jumped all over it. I started buying figures from my past but I never got that Sheik. I eff'n loved the Sheik. Why did I put him back?

Nope. If I wanted it I bought it...If I didn't buy it then I didn't want it.

When I first started collecting, I could've easily got e16 Kevin Nash for $55 MOC. At that time I scoffed at the price and said I'd never spend so much on a figure so I just bought diesel for $35 instead.
I wish I got Nash

None really. I guess you could say DM HBK as its the only DM/Legend/Flashback I dont own. I never wanted it though. I kinda would like to have it now just to say I have all of them though.

Biggest regret I have is not buying RSC exclusive SES CM Punk when they had him loose for under $20. They had him up when I had just got back into collecting so I figured I would have plenty of time to buy him.

EG Dibiase/Undertaker-told myself to wait for the elites. who knew it would take years and no suit for Dibiase.
DM Warrior/HBK-got L4/E7 and was only going to get 1 of each person at the time.
RSC Edge and somewhat Amazon Mankind-money issues at the time and didnt expect Edge to sell out that fast.

I eff'n loved the Sheik. Why did I put him back? When I first started collecting Mattel, I didn't care if it was elites or badics. I mostly went with basics because I was used to Jakks and limited articulation. I passed on all the Legends 2-packs that were warming at TRU for months. I would get battlepacks. I was only interested in modern guys. Now I don't usually bother with basics at all and try to collect heavily from retro eras. All those figures I got over the Bushwackers or Shiek/Kolof now sit in a box because I have a million of those Triple H's or Randy Orton's. |
