Regret NOT getting a certain TF?

Postby Kanyon » Thu Aug 16, 2007 5:10 pm

I've regret not getting a certain TF and now it's too late it seems, mostly the classics Devastator and the classics 2 pack of Um and Skywarp. Wish Target would put it on the shelves again or make it available online. -cry-

I hear you. I also regret not picking up the 2-pack of Magnus Vs. Skywarp. They're the only classics I don't have. :(

I regret not making my parents buy me BW figures when I was a kid, now it's kind of annoying to buy. :-(

I regret passing on Dead End, Wheeljack, and Shockblast from the Alternators line... I thought "oh, they're just repaints" - until I looked into it online, and found them going for 2-3x retail

still trying to find them (and a Mirage) for not a bajillion dollars :sad:
selling all my Alternators, like new in boxes; PM me for info! I have LNIB RTS Grapple, leader Starscream, Windcharger, legends Megatron! Also: TF07 Allspark leaders

Transformers I wish I got/could get:

G1 Predacons.
Cassette Transformers.
G1's that have animal-themed alt-modes. In relation to this: the Pretender Beasts. Yes I want them.
Unicron even though his alt mode wasn't perfectly executed in my opinion (He just looks like a folded-up Transformer from behind, and that which we see looks like his, *ahem*, derierre). I saw him going for $30 (clearance price) at our Walmart and I still wish I'd shelled out the cash for him.

But the one who tops this list is Starscream. I have his Armada version, but what I really want is his Masterpiece incarnation (It's like G1! Only more advanced!). Too bad it's out of my price range.

I regret not buying Optimus Primal(BM) about 3 yrs ago @ TRU. It was the last one(provably in any store) and for some stupid reason i decided not to get it :MAD: :sad:. In the end, i had no choice but to buy a loose one off ebay for the same price($30). :-x

Never regret. I don't have this nostalgia or whatsoever. There will be better toys in the future, why regret? I don't have 08 Bumblebee, the most hyped thing on earth, because I don't want to have him at all. I don't care if people say it is the best deluxe ever, as I am simply not a fan of him.

Mate that just dirty

I really regret not getting G1 scorponok, we were in london for a family trip and went to hamley's toy store when I was little, I was told that I could pick anything I wanted, but even then I knew my mom and dad weren't well off, so instead of picking the scorpy I picked a he-man figure, The one that split in half.

I look back and wish i'd had that scorpy, but it made me think about something more important in life.

Not really if I didn't get it at first I most likely didn't want it.

Classics Starscream when he was so plentiful, and Ramjet. I also wished I had picked up Ultra Magnus vs. Skywarp.

But Starscream in particular, cause he's going for such high amounts, but I'm thinking that's cause of Movie hype, and I know they made so many Starscream's that the price is gonna go way down if I wait long enough(but not too long, cause then it'll surely go back up again, but not to the number's it is now).

Well I can't really say since I'm a new collector, but I wish I had gotten into Transformers earlier at least when the Classics line was out so I could have gotten Ultra Magnus vs. Skywarp, Bumblebee, and Starscream.
Also I would have liked to have more Alternators such as Grimlock and Mirage

G1 Snarl and Swoop back in the day, so I'd have all of the originals. Today, Classics Starscream. So many were out there at the time-would just love to display him next to the animated MP SS like I plan on doing with Skywarp.

Oh yeah, when I was a kid, why didn't I buy Optimus Prime???
