I regret purchasing all basics the first year of Mattel's contract and not Elites. Had to purchase them on the secondary market which cost a bit more.

B50 Sami Zayn. I bought it from Ringside to trade to another member for another figure, but that member went and traded their figure to somebody else the day that I was going to go send Zayn to him. So I went and traded Zayn with somebody's else and got myself a E39 Sting from that, which is a great figure.

Off the top of my head latest Ziggler and Elite 36 DDP. I love the latest Ziggler and what's wrong with DDP Face is mediocre and the hair color isn't very good. DDP is one of my favorite wrestlers and they didn't do him justice. Also the Ziggler isn't the style I wanted. Not me saying it's a bad figure. Just an opinion..

Lots and lots of basics ... most of which I have since gotten rid of. Elites or bust!
Biggest regret overall is probably an early series basic Great Khali. Originally I thought I'd be a completist, not realizing the sheer number of figures Mattel would be making. Wish I knew that then, would've saved quite a bit of change.

Right now Network HBK. I bought it just because and I honestly don't think it's a great looking figure.

It's not like it's a blind buy. You knew it wasnt what you wanted, but bought it anyway... why?

You knew it wasnt what you wanted, but bought it anyway... why? for me. I really wanted a ddp and I don't think they will ever make a short hair wcw champ version of him. I'm happy with the one I have but I'd rather have a diferent style. Sidenote: wouldn't a DDP Yoga version be awesome? Comes with a yoga t-shirt and yoga mat.

The SDCC remake DM undertaker: to hard to get the cape off. Doing so ripped off a chunk of hair. And I think I'd like the new WM taker with the leather coat.
I got a bundle of TNA figures mainly for a rhino, then of of thing's arms snapped off that same day. Should of inspected them better.

Jesus lol maybe he thought it looked better online idk Jesus.... I know if I'm iffy on something, I'll wait till I can see it in hand and not waste money. I'm not picking on them, but to me it comes across as making a deal out of something where there shouldn't have been. I hate olives, so I'm not going to order a deluxe pizza and hope they aren't on it. Then say the pizza was bad when it shows up and there's olives on it. Maybe it's just my long time in retail. I dont return items. Becuase I try it on there, only buy it if I want it, ect. So seeing people make snap decisions like that kills me. Sell them the shirt on Monday * MY GOD I LOVE THIS....I NEED IT...WHEN DID YOU GET IT...OMG IT'S AWESOME* they walk in the next day.... I didn't really want/need it..... if I could roll my eyes hard enough to give myself whiplash, there have been times that'd happen.

Who cares why he doesn't like it anymore, what is his opinion wrong? Never said his opinion is wrong.... I simply asked them why buy something you don't want. From the sounds of it. They never liked it. Becuase it wasn't what they wanted...... is it sinking in yet? Or has discussion on here just too much? It's reasons like this, that I don't post much. I asked them about why they did something, and I'm getting crap from others...... gotta love this place. Should I be posting three word responses and gif crap?

It's hard to seprate trolls from people asking a real question. I get that crap too. I normally just stick to the figure hunting page for my state because you can't have a conversation on here without it devolving.

Hey buddy question, what's with the first degree? I'm pretty sure everyone bought a toy on impulse every now and then or at least once. Just because I regret buying one of your favorite toys doesn't mean I think it's bad. I also wanted the white IC title. Don't worry though, next time I buy a toy I'll be sure to explain my reasoning to you next time.

Not sure why you would post in the thread when the subject line in the title is something that bugs you so much. This entire thread is about purchases they made that they regretted later and you said that working retail has made you despise people that buy things only to return them later because they regretted buying it. So if you knew that so many people would be posting about something that bugs you so much, just avoid the post captain.

I simply asked a question as to why would you buy something you didn't want. Was it really THAT hard? I guses I will refrain from actually posting. And resort to the crap everyone here loves... gifs and a half a sentence!

But someone purchasing something they didn't want to only complain about it makes me wonder why someone would do that.
