E6 'Tista, E1 or 9 MVP, E7 Kidd. also a few 1/1000s.
Still have never seen E7 'Swoggle nor E16 Nash at retail so i can't say i passed on them.
I've passed on a few more but picked up in the secondary market. most recently the L4 Demolition and 2 packs Bushwhackers (thanks, markhenrymark!). E13 Edge was sort of expensive to go back and get too. as was the BOPPV Shawn Michaels ref figure.
OH and i really really regret not gettin SES Punk, Unmasking of Kane and the Mattycollector Brain Busters.

I passed on Basic 11 Big Show and Sheamus at retail (when there were loads!)... and now can't find them anywhere. And also the Series 11 Cody and Drew 2-pack.

None. I never pass up a WWE Mattel figure I want unless the paint on the figure is excessively smeared and smudged, an accessory has been stolen from the packaging, or the figure has another obvious defect.
Mattel's distribution is so spotty that I know if I were to pass up on a figure, there is a very good chance that I will never see the figure a second time.
I look at my collection and I think of how many of my Mattel WWE figures I have only seen ONCE....it's shocking, and if I had passed on those figures I wouldn't have them in my collection.
So my advice would be to NEVER pass up on a figure you want, because you probably will not get a second chance. Most of my stores, if they get a Series in at all, will NOT restock a second time. They get one case, and that's it.
My Kmart didn't get any Elites in since Series 17 until Series 22 came in the other day. My Target stocked Elite 12, then didn't get any Elites in until Series 18, then never got 19, then stocked 20 a bunch of times, then stocked 21 ONCE. My Walmart never stocked Series 18, got one case of 19, got one case of 20, never got 21, and haven't had any Elites in about 3 months. My Toys R Us stocked Series 18 like 50 times, never got 19, stocked 20 a few times, stocked 21 one time, and that's been it for a few months.
So you never know what Series or how many Series' a store is just going to completely skip, or if the store actually does get something in if they will ever restock.

Not so much a regret, but I wish I had the pocket money to pick up E15 Henry and Truth last fall.
My Walmart ended up clearancing their Elites to $2 one summer and I ended up buying all of E8 and some pegwarmers for under $20. I gotta believe if I went to the price checker a few days earlier I could have bought E7 at that price too.

Ziggler with the World Title. Only saw it 1 time. Had it in my hands, got halfway to the registers and turned around and headed back to toys and put it back.

E16 Rock, son of a b*tch is that figure expensive. and i could have gotten him for retail price too but i went with E16 Slater instead.
A pass up unrelated to figures is the ESR, i held it in my hands in 2010 but didn't have the money. I wish i had bought one that year. it's something i regret every day of my life as a collector.

Wow that Elite 12 Kane seems to haunt a lot of people. I saw about 10 E16 rocks and wasn't collecting at the time. Now I see spthey cost a pretty penny

E9 MVP & Kofi since they're the only elites my country got. DM Triple H too which I found at Big Lots when I visited US.
Oh well.
