Elite 20 Punk.
I never thought a figure with a made up attire would sell.

Too many to name but I'll try anyway. Here are the few that pop into my head right away:
E12 Kane - I remember passing on it when it was on Amazon for retail price. I really considered buying it but I think I was looking for Del Rio. E4 Jericho - Saw it at Target in a beat up box so I picked up Best of 2010 Sheamus instead. I was strictly a MOC collector at the time. I passed on Defining Moments Warrior at TRU a bunch of times. I ended up buying it for $30 online. Best of 2010 Elite Cena - I put in my cart on TRU.com a bunch of times but couldn't pull the trigger.
I'll give honorable mention to All-Stars 2 Pack Austin/Punk and Elite 1 CM Punk (I could be wrong on the series but there was a early Elite CM Punk on Mattel Shop right around the time of the Pipe Bomb)
So now I pretty much buy everything just in case (ie. E25 Sheamus, E26 Henry, most of Elite 18)

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. Yup. Passed on the Brainbusters when they were on Matty Collector. Then I passed on Arn when RSC had him because I couldn't find Tully.

I regret not having purchased Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson.
And I regret not having picked up the Road Warriors. I wasnt buying Mattel's at that time.

Elite 17 John Cena. I saw it only once, but I passed on it because I wanted to get Elite 17 Mankind and they did not have a Mick there so I went to other stores hunting. I went back for the Cena the next day but it was gone. I ended up getting Elite 17 Zack Ryder and Mankind for Christmas that year though.
Well, I'm off to the classifieds to find a damn Elite 17 John Cena. Haha
Cool thread by the way.

None. Anything I really want I preorder. Anything else I pick up at retail. And there hasn't been anything I've never seen. And with anything I am ever looking for I buy it when I see it. I guess the only figure that I have never seen at retail that I wanted was a CS Jerry Brisco. Only ever found Jack cases. So he's not in my collection, because my rules are simple...
If I don't want it enough to preorder and I don't find it locally or on a mass retailers website (TRU/Target/WM) then I just don't get it. I do not believe in supporting the whole secondary market prices.

I was in Toys R us and I had a choice between Elite Drew or Elite Sheamus (Think there both elite 8) and I choose Sheamus and now regret having Elite Drew but I still do like Sheamus

Road Warriors. Thankfully I can get over that in a few months.

Road Warriors. Thankfully I can get over that in a few months. And the attire will be better! And possibly tag titles this time!

For me Legends Series 1 were the attires I wanted most. As they were pretty much my favorite look for them I just wish Hawk had larger arms like the e20 Cody's and Animal was thicker. (Like Bandy's custom) but I had zero complaints about their attires. If I were to change anything about their attires I would have made the lettering on their tights in yellow instead of red. And that would have been my all-time favorite attires.

I have let quite a lot get away. Uso's battlepack, Elite Goldust, Elite 7 DX and Elite 12 Kane. I wish I had bought them looking back.

Probably Vader for me. I used to see him somewhat frequently when the Legends line was out, now the price is a little too high for me.

Vader, $2.50 at Target. Was in between collecting phases and didn't think they'd put out much if anything to compliment it, so a random Vader during a break in collecting seemed pointless.
Whoops

Now, now I use the logic, "if I see it I buy it" but before I wasn't a completionist and when I saw Elite 7 Triple H I said, yeah, but I got Bo2010 already...
I also wanted but had no money (I used to have the crappiest of crappy jobs back then) to buy the Road Warriors. When I went back looking they were presumably long gone. Only saw them one time at retail.
The third time was the charm, the one that made me the completionist nut I am today, was the Legends British Bulldog for 7 bucks at Dollar General. Major facepalm.

Legends 1 Road Warriors Legends 4 The Rock Elite 12 Kane
Ive had all of those in hand, but just sat them back down, because I had quit collecting at the time.

Man, seems like several passed up on Elite 12 Kane I only saw one at retail and I didn't even hesitate! But I wish I would've seen the Road Warriors
