Kept seeing them, kept passing on them, keep regretting it. Another used to be Movie Mightwatch Optimus Prime (he was dirt cheap too at the time), but recently acquired the preferred UK version.

Too bad I just sold my Universe Blades a couple months ago. Only $20 too. But shipping would have been ridiculous, most likely.

From Canada? You bet. I could have used my in-laws address instead, were it not I'm unable to travel there for at least a year.

Got a couple more:

- Fox Kids! Transmetal Cheetor (what is with me and red figures?)
- Fox Kids! Transmetal Tarantulas
- BotCon 2000 Shokaract
- BotCon 2001 Arcee

Henkei Strafe, It was selling bloody cheap on BBTS at around $40 last year but I still never bit on it.

I took me a long time to get around to buying G1 Kickback. I only bought him a few months back. I think I have everything else I really want.

This surprises me a bit. Kickbacks, all the regular Insecticons, are dirt cheap. They're still completely awesome, BTW.

Might want to add one more.

FP Warbot (Springre). Always hoping Hasbro will give us a rightful one but that hope is very, very slim now. Pass him initially because of the price. Now he is available again but the cost is even higher. :BANG_HEAD:

Hmmmm. I'd probably have to say Masterpiece Optimus Prime. Such a cool figure, but so damned expensive, and I really wasn't actively collecting at the time. I'm kicking myself now because it's going for quite a bit more than it did originally and I AM actively collecting now, so...

Actually, I did shop for him a few time but there were very few available on ebay.co.uk. They were either MIB for a high price or too damaged so I stopped looking for a long time.

I missed out on the Takara Unicron exclusive. I didn't want to shell out $250 for it. Then when the Amazon exclusive was announced I figured I'd just grab that one.... Then I missed out on that one as well.
I don't know if this counts, since I had bought it but then sold it again. I had a MIB Black Zarak that I bought on Ebay for about $400 about 10 years ago. But I sold it when I needed the cash shorlty after buying it. I regret selling that as well as my MIB Jetfire, Brave Maximus, and Takara reissue black Optimus exclusive.

I recently saw the Amazon one kicking around for $100, given the size and the limited run, that's not THAT high.

Ironic that you mention that set, as I just lost out on an ebay auction for them.

Actually it's Gold Plastic Syndrome. The arm hinges of Armada Super Base Optimus Prime (the one with the trailer) are made of gold plastic, and some kinds are very brittle. The repaints and the Deluxe version however don't suffer from it.

And I'm guessing a clunker is an inarticulate heavy brick :lol:

Pretty much all of the FE Prime figures. :evil:
