Or, you buy something in fear of regretting not to get it, and then you regret getting it because it is lackluster. I have been victim of that one (Prime Abominus and Systalker and Alternators Optimus and RTS Mindset and Movie Lockdown). How about you?
Well, I only do this for him because he wants to make a lost light combiner (cyclonus and company) and a good whack of them are being released as limb bots. If it's something he wants (it sounds like it is) he really should go for them, but maybe wait for an HTS promotion.
I really love sky lynx/sky stalker; one of my only beast hunter purchases; I personally like to think of them as a fembot, and give them skullgrins pickax - you should try it, let me know if it works for you.
I regret many of my purchases from my youth (
BM Megatron instead of Magmatron - will never forgive that 
) and many from armada (lacking basic poseability - including botcon megazarak) and any lacking poseability or that suffer monkey-arm syndrome (sounds like a cool
name
)
I more regret not getting figures that I like now, since I've developed my sense of aesthetics and buying habits (BM blackarachnia or her recolors) and more of the energon combiners (which is why I'm getting almost everything from this line), but overall, not so much, I strictly adhere to my two rules, and will look through many threads, forums, videos and galleries to become as educated as possible on a figure before buying them.
My only immediate purchase (that comes to mind) was Salvia Prominon, after seeing a picture of her in one of the weekly updates, I immediately pre-ordered her and haven't looked back since (she's so beautiful
)
