Elite Series 7 DX & Triple H seen them in my local toys r us way back reason I didn’t buy was I thought they would be shelf warmers for the rest off the year.. couldn’t have been more wrong & the other is the very 1st Elite Bálor reason I didn’t was I absolutely hated that ugly cut sided red packaging as a moc collector I still would never buy a Elite with that packaging it’s just too ugly imo lmao

None. I only became aware of the line around e26 and I’ve bought everything I wanted at retail since then. The only things I’ve regretted not buying were figs from before I started on the secondary market when they were decent prices.

When I first started collecting Mattel I passed on DM Ricky Steamboat at Big Lots. At the time I was trying to keep my collection small. But now that I buy all elites, I wish I had bought it. Also, not in store, but I regret not buying RSC SES CM Punk when they had it loose for $20. Whenever I'd place an order from them (at them time it was almost once a week) I kept thinking next time on Punk. Never did and missed out.

E41 Balor. I had just started collecting and right around that time Target had put HoF Elites on sale for $10 and then a couple weeks later ran a 50% off sale on regular Elites. A few days later I saw Balor at TRU for full price and passed, assuming big discount sales were the norm. I'll buy a loose copy at some point, but any figure since then that I've wanted I have picked up when I saw it.

Back in late fall-ish of 2010, I saw a 1/1000 belt Michelle McCool, and left it because I was trying to save money (even though I was also collecting one of each of the 1/1000 belt guys)... Still kicking myself about that one.

I'm bad about not pulling the trigger on online exclusives, as I like to see the figure to make sure it doesn't have a bad paint job. I really regret not getting the Matty Collector Bundy and DDP, the TRU Vince, and the RSC all pink Bret Hart.

Pretty sure I saw the Network Spotlight Bayley the first time I went to TRU over a year ago when I started collecting. Didn't even know who she was at the time.

I saw the Vader Elite at H-E-B in Texas so many times and kept passing up on it. Then when he said he may not live much longer, I did wish at that I had it so I could get him to sign it before he passed. Fortunately, he's still with us and I saw him at a signing recently, but still didn't have the figure.

Road Warriors from Legends 1, in black attire.
I was really upset that Jakks lost the wwe contract, and thought Mattels looked horrible, and on top of that I was holding out hope that Jakks would continue the RA style figures going. So when those first Legends figures hit shelves I blew them off completely.

None. Once I see a figure I want I buy it. Although I do wish I had ordered a second E55 Neville when I preordered mine.

There have been a few, but the one that sticks out is DM Nakamura. I saw it at TRU once, didnt pull the trigger. Havent seen it since anywhere.

First time hit TRU near me there must have been twenty or more. DMs almost alwas shelfwarm near me so I figured Id come back in a week or two and get him. The next week they were all gone and I never saw him at retail again. Ended up getting him as a Christmas gift so alls well but I kicked myself for awhile

Basic 78 Braun and AJ, I thought I'd hold out for briefcase versions since I already have the Braun Elite and other red Basic AJ, plus people were upset at the new articulation so I figured they'd linger, but they didn't and now Walmart and Target are on series 81. I'm still holding out hope for Meijer, since they don't have any of the new packaging figures yet.

Kevin Nash elite 16 from Kmart. Had it in my hands but passed on it. Could've paid $20 & now I can't get it for less than $100. 😐😐😐 I just sold mine for $86 CAD. That's not too bad. DM Bret and RSC Bret go for a LOT

I remember seeing lots of DM Hogans before the K-Mart near me closed.

Also the recent green surfer Sting basic. Saw it a couple weeks before I bought my first basic, its what sparked my interest in the first place. Still haven't seen it.

Defining Moments Razor and E1 Edge. Dumb, dumb garrett. Saw both when I was still undecided on collecting again after Jakks' run.
