I've basically let all of the rarest of the rare slip out of my hands. I'm talking e1 edge, punk, ses punk. Spend most of my time kicking myself in the ass over that.

I've put down E6 Batista, E8 Regal, Legends Macho Man, and Boss man and King Booker. Of all those I only ever got Booker. Spent too much but I got tired of thinking about it lol

from mattel, the ones i regret most not getting r eg m$m and undertaker and to a lesser extent dm ultimate warrior and hbk. saw all many times and never pulled the trigger.
from jakks, a local tru got a ton of wave 1 of the classic 2-packs(lod, hart foundation, and rockers i think it was) which i picked up many times over a few months and never bought cause i wasnt collecting their figures. also thought about getting classics nwo and regular hogan and a classics dude love which i think was a chase figure. picked up other jakks figures that i never bought but those r the ones i remember most.

Big Bossman & ABA Undertaker were warming shelves for months in my town and I wasn't collecting at the time. Now whenever I see a loose one for an outrageous amount I just want to die cause I constantly walked past them, picked them up and looked at them countless times for months and NEVER pulled the trigger.

for me it was Vader I was at TRU and had close to 100 dollars worth of stuff between WWE and Marvel Universe, I was with my then girlfriend (now wife) and she pulled the old ”aren't you spending too much” line on me. I had both MU Juggernaut and Vader in my hand and figured Juggernaut was less and would become rarer (boy was i wrong). Now i can't bring myself to spend $40+ on ebay to get him. I'm hoping he gets rereleased with the Vader Time tights and monstrous headgear/shoulder pads he used in his time in WWE. Agreed. Vader will end up being the most I've ever paid for a figure, since I'm a huge fan of the WCW/late WWF look of that attire. If they release Vader Time I'll make sure to buy two.

On eBay not too long ago, someone had e13 flashback edge and e20 flashback Christian, both mint, complete but loose for $60 buy it now. Had it in my cart.... Held off for a day, it was gone when I woke up. Soooooo bummed.... Because now I can't find e13 edge complete and mint less than $60 by itself I hadn't realized he shot up that high! I remember seeing a few during that time when the series was out but I never got it. I wish now that I would've though Yeah.. It blows! Because I'm meeting Edge in July and REALLY want his MOC elite to get signed and put on my wall. MOC he's listed for $100+ right now which is absolutely ridiculous. There's a reason they aren't selling for that price. I'd pay $60 tops for it. But would also trade a bunch for it if anyone has one available

And like you said, there's a reason it's not selling at that price

Elite 22 The Rock. I collect both MOC and loose for figures that I really like and ended up purchasing 2. I kept one loose, but I gave my best friend the MOC one, choosing not to replace it, a decision that I have since regretted. Elite 20 CM Punk and Elite 26 Ultimate Warrior were other regrets as well. I looked for the Warrior during the 2 for $20 Elite TRU sale, but they didn't have any. Then I found two at a Walmart during WrestleMania weekend, but the boxes were so badly damaged that it looked like someone had stepped on them with great force. A few days later, he unfortunately passed and then everyone went Warrior crazy with his figures.

Oh god mine is horrible I still have nightmares about I feel stupid probably one of my biggest regrets in this lifetime. I was so stupid within my first month of collecting I was only collecting basics which is completely opposite of what I do know by I was at Big Lots and saw all of these figures for 7 dollars each and passed because I only wanted basics -Legends 6 Ultimate Warrior -Legends 6 Eddie Guerrero -Legends 6 Kerry Von Erich, Kevin Von Erich and Texas Tornado - Legend Mr Wonderful A week later I felt stupid for not getting them and went back but they were all gone I've gone to countless Big Lots since and never found any mattel figures beside signature series Rey and Cena. I regret this decision so much and still at times think up scenarios in my head where I bought them, but they never come true. Also as background information this was late 2012 when you couldn't just fine the legends anywhere as previously I really wish I had collected earlier

Tully Blanchard. He was on Matty for months. Now I really want him.
I'm quite proud to say that any figure I passed on at retail or missed when I wasn't collecting, I now own. And amassed them all pretty intelligently and didn't really overpay.

Damn that is good. I got e1 edge for $20, e8 edge $29, traded e1 edge, then bought him again in a craigslist lot of elites/basics for $50 haha e13 edge is the only one I've never owned, and I actually want one MOC to get signed and one loose for play/display. MOC taking priority of course

Jerry "The King" Lawler....
I believe I only had enough money that day for one figure, and I chose to buy Kevin Nash instead - a decision I surely DON'T regret - however, I never found the Lawler again, and he's eluded my collection to this day!

Elite 13 Edge for me. I picked up Ziggler from the set and that was it. Funny thing is this Edge was the ONLY elite on the pegs at this store for months. Every other figure was gone. Literally had 6 chances to pick it up and sadly never did.
