He's still being shipped as far as I can tell. My Wal-Mart keeps putting up more of him. If you can't find him local, you can try online. Maybe Walmart.com or Hasbro.com?

I regret selling almost all of my original TFs in a garage sale when I was 11. Stupid kid.

Currently, I'm regretting passing over Recon Barricade so many times before, as I've decided I DO want him after seeing the gallery here on Seibertron. I'm sure I'll come across him eventually, though.

Before I got back into TFs I could have picked up an Energon Galvatron on CLEARANCE!!!!!!!

I did eventually get one, and got a *decent* deal on him ... but clearance .... :sad: :sad: :sad:

Cybertron GF prime was another clearance mistake. My local wally world had gobs of him, megatron and Galvatron for like $20 each. Often with the extra mini con. Again, I got him, and didn't pay out the nose, but I had passed on him for MONTHS at clearance prices.

Who else, Thunderblast. Missed that one.

Cybertron Unicron (the little tank, not the planet) He was a cheapie that now goes for big $$$ on the secondary market. I would love an army of him as heralds for the planet Unicron.

Just tons of stuff from Cybertron and Energon. :-(

G1 Swoop 20 years ago. I remember trying to choose between Snarl and Swoop. I ended going with Snarl. But I should have gotten both of them.

I always wanted a G1 Shockwave as a kid but parents wouldn't buy it for me. SInce I didn't have money to buy one, I don't know if I could regret not buying it. Ones that I just haven't been able to find in stores don't count either so other than that, none. Every one i've seen that I wanted I got.

Ironhide (Movie), I had the chance back a few months, but I didn't,
At the time I was looking for Bumblebee, and I overlooked Ironhide with not much interest as I do now. =(

I remember that. I just got interested in collecting again and I thought that was a freaking knock-off. It's all hind sight now. Back to topic, mine would be G1 Omega Supreme. It was a store called Consumers, you would walk in and all they would have is tables with catalogs on them, you would fill out your order form and they would get it for you. I don't know remember what I purchased instead of him though. :sad:

I think my regrets lie with the original G1 Seekers and some of the Autobot cars. The robot modes of the Seekers didn't appeal to me as a kid. And I wasn't impressed with Trailbreaker, Prowl, and Bluestreak either. Now, I wish I had gotten them.

Motto: "There are as many different worlds as there are observers. Never assume what you see is real."
Weapon: Battle Blades
In no particular order:

RiD Cryotek
The bullet train team in RiD
Armada Blurr
Armada Overload
Energon Galvatron
Movie Bumblebee

and all of Beast Machines, because I was still a kid then and I thought, "Hey! that's not beast wars! what on earth did they do to cheetor? I'm not buying any of this!" and so I boycotted Transformers until RiD. In retrospect, I really wish I gave Beast Machines a chance. :-(
