I kept waiting for the price to drop so I could really afford it without having to load up my credit card, but then I got a massive pay raise and right when I was in a position for the price not to matter, the final listing ended (he didn't sell it, at least not on ebay, it just ended, not 'sold') and it hasn't been seen since, not from him and not from any other seller. I check back often enough to see if one has come up yet, but I haven't seen one yet and it's been many months. I'm hoping one gets listed on there before too long because my Japanese TRU exclusive black Big Convoy is missing his adversary.
I now have one less regret .
It cost me a few pennies, but that black Lucky Draw Magmatron is finally mine and finally standing in bot mode next to his nemesis, the TRU Japan exclusive Black Big Convoy . The one I got was AFA graded and all that, but the first thing I did when I got him was crack open that acrylic display case, pull him out of his box and combine him into bot mode. I don't sell my toys, so I disregard any concern about depreciating the value by opening him up and displaying him/playing with him. 1 out of only 10 in existence and he is MINE, muahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !
now if only i could find a green unicron...

I also regret not buying Generations Ultra Magnus and Skywarp at Walmart back when I started collecting again in '07/'08. I hated the Magnus and now Skywarp is the only Generations seeker I'm missing.

Clearly, the worst TF ever in recentlines. Extremely thin plastics. A "deluxe" that is scout sized. Extremely hollow. Almost transparent. Holes evrywhere in bot mode. A "meh" vehicle and bot mode. COME WITH A GUN! A tiny, tiny gun.
I bought FOC Sideswipe just for his gun to give to FOC Optimus. Then I sold Sideswipe for 5$. I kept Jazz for my Jazz collection, also as a reminder of how poopy it is.

Sure, that remold is great and the jetpack is awesome. It just that I already own Buster Optimus Prime with his partner from the 2 pack, Takara Jetfire. For me, he's the defenitive OP with the chrome at the right places and that overall premium feel. Combined with Jetfire, he just breathes power. Jetwing, he's just... plain... No chrome at all. Also, the jetpack is just one giant piece of kibble that dont transform.
Finally, and I bet many fans will blow a gasket over this, is I think Ultimate Optimus Prime is way better looking, is more awesome, and is a overall better toy than Jetwing Optimus. No, seriously. Having the Buster 2 pack and Ultimate OP, Jetwing is just underwhelming.
If you don't have a ROTF Leader Optimus Prime mold in your collection, or just have the regular ROTF or HFTD version, having the Takara Jetwing Optimus would be a great addition to your collection. But for me, I feel it was just an impulse purchase and that money could have been better spendt elsewhere. So, I'm selling it on Ebay (I also have extra weapons for it too!).
Yeah, it's odd, but it's possible to regret buying a great toy!

Don't feel too bad, from what I recall the BBTS preorders were up for a total of 48 seconds.Nemesis Destron wrote:-Sigh-....well the most recent for me would be Leader Jetfire and AOE Expo Nemesis Prime.
I saw that Reprolabels has a really cool Macross set for Jetfire and I wish I had picked him up after seeing him on shelves at TRU countless times.
And as far as AOE Nemesis Prime I wish I had been smart enough to order when BBTS had it for pre-order. I figured it would eventually replenish then catch it...hell was I wrong. I plan to get one eventually, priced right of course but that will take some time clearly.

Now, I don't want to endorse the idea of KO's but in the case of uber rare/expensive repaints and simply wanting the piece in your collection... have a look at this:
