Far, Far too many to note...

I spend a small fortune trying to get some of them off eBay now...

*sigh*

You can regret about anything. But no need to whine here and there.

I'm kicking myself for not picking up the e-hobby exclusive of their mini-bot/gobot re-issues. Saw for $50 bucks at Wizard World Philly about a few years ago. Wanted them, but I thought that people weren't intrested in them, so I thought that I'll just get them later. Now they cost an arm and a leg. :-x

After screwing up my first year of College & ruining things with my girlfriend, while also setting myself up for a crappy second year by not sorting out my summer projects sooner I don't really think missing a figure is something worth regretting. However I should have got an 08 BB when i saw 10 of them on a newly stocked Gamelys shelf. Oh well.

Life lesson: Don't regret ^^

20th anniversary prime

by **Nemesis Cyberplex** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 4:37 pm

Oh, forget one...when I was a kid, I never got Powermaster Optimus Prime. When I saw it, I asked my mom...she told me I already had Optimus, I didn't need another. Keep in mind also, my first Prime, the original, I got for my B-day in 85...already heavily played with, trailer busted, hands lost....& most importantly, it wasn't the same toy.

Oh well, I have the TRU reissue now...but still...so many years I could have been enjoying it.

by **Dionmagnus** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 4:42 pm

Mine was Scorponok, G1, big mo-fo, I had surgery, and my mother promised me that toy in exchange for the surgery. I never got it.

by **Whammy** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 5:38 pm

Every single transformer I see in the stores that I didn't pick up.

Is Soundwave even out in the UK?

Or Devastator? (Classics)

by **Cyber-Kun** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 6:16 pm

Beast Wars Transmetal II Megatron. I wanted it so badly, but couldn't get it. When I finally had money too, he was nowhere to be found on shelves.

I regret not getting the nly Moie Leader Megs I've ever seen at a K-Mart that I'll never visit, because it is too far away. :sad:

by **Jestermon** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 4:04 pm

I regret not keeping Mirage or buying Meister. I bought Mirage and Prime to sell, and sold prime but could not move Mirage so i returned, this was when they were re-releasing t Meister and I never picked one up was waiting for clearance that never came.

Back when the G1 TRU re-issues were coming out, I decided I wanted to collect them all. I got five, I think. (Starscream, a couple of his repaints, Prowl and Hot Rod.)

I got into it late, though, so all of Wave 1 was out. I found an Optimus Prime on eBay for $100. It never arrived. I was so depressed about it I never thought of buying a Transformer again until I saw the movie. And for the next two years, every time I saw a tractor-trailer on the Interstate that resembled Optimus or Ultra Magnus, it would put me in a foul mood.

However, in the past month, I have bought:
Movie Leader Optimus
Cybertron Leader Optimus
Classic Voyager Optimus
20th Anniversary DVD Optimus
Movie Deluxe Protoform Optimus

I think I've recovered.

Cybertron Primus when it was at TRU. :sad:

And Optimus Prime mp-04 when it was "cheaper". Pfft.. and I thought 150 dollars was expensive. ;o; *smacks self*

Thanks to being located in Australia I have missed many figures.
I wish we had have gotten the TRU Re-issues (although paying AU$80 per figure was laughable).

Otherwise, I regret not grabbing Armada Overload, and Energon Omega Supreme when both were on sale.

RiD Cryotek. Hell, I even passed on him for $13 on clearance.

RiD Ultra Magnus. I bought Prime, but I never bought UM. I could get one now, but I haven't gotten around to it.

RiD Scourge. This one bugs me. I only found them once, and I didn't have the $30. Now they're way more expensive, and I think I'll have to get the Car Robots version instead, since it's much cheaper.

Alternators Hound. I didn't want to get into Alts when he came out, and now that I have, this is the one I want and can't find.

And for my most recent- The WM-exclusive Robot Heroes 5-pack. It never showed at my local stores, and the website is sold out of it. I just want it for Cliffjumper and Skywarp.

by **touch_of_Jazz** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 12:22 am

yeah my dumb a** passed on the skywarp vs ultra magnus double pack also thinkin I'd always find more. At the time I could have purchased it for retail price I was on a mission to find the TRU exclusive soundwave reissue and just went to target to get a leader class prime. D'OH!

I also passed on classics grimlock the first time I saw him, partially because I had just won a bid on ebay for a G1 100% complete 1985 grimlock in great condition with box so I was stoked. Couldn't find him anywhere about a week later. I ended up picking one up from ebay for about $30.00 (shipping included).

Luckily I managed to walk into wallmart on saturday right while they were stocking the shelves and picked up another grimlock that I am looking to sell for about what I paid for him to make up for it.

also picked up a ramjet but have not opened him yet, I have him and starscream (also unopened) hanging with grimlock, cybertron Megatron delux and mirage (all unopened) by thumbtacks on my wall for now.

The 8 Alternators I missed while they were still plentiful online

It's gonna cost a lot more to get em now, but I guess I can still get em eventually.

Anyone want to donate some?

by **lanzajr26** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 11:16 am

Oh let's see, I've passed on pretty much every cool Transformer since MP-01 came out. I just haven't had the cash until recently to afford them. So at some point I've held every Classic and Alternator in my hands and put them back on the shelf, hopeful I'd find them another day.

I don't necessarily regret not getting them since I didn't have the means anyway, but the one I kick myself over is passing the Skywarp/Magnus Classics 2-pack when it was on clearance for $9.90. That was a steal compared to what I paid for it on eBay last month.
