The Regret Thread

[1orion2many]

I regret buying DOTM Leader Ironhide. I watched reviews, I knew it was pretty crap, but I went ahead and bought it anyway, mostly because I was being an emotional woman thanks to the movie. I think I'm going to make the most of a bad purchase and repaint him, make him more movie-like. Or something. I don't regret anything else.

God I hope that doesn't make me an emotional woman as I did the same thing but I don't regret it

I don't exactley regret my purchases, but there are a few that if I could go back and stop myself I would. Ultimate Bumblebee comes to mind.

The majority of my regrets come from things I didn't buy at the time of release and now can't find. They were repaints and I didn't buy repaints at the time. Classicverse Sideswipe, Ultra magnus, Skywarp and Ramjet come to mind.

My mum got all the mail-away exclusives and divided them among my brother, a cousin and myself. Among the toys we decided to give to our cousin, one was Time Warrior... because at the time I just looked at it as a piece of merchandise rather than a TF action figure (oh wait, that's exactly what it is! ). Then my cousin went and lost it.

*sigh*

One figure I didn't really like but after buying was Energon Arcee. It's not that I dislike the Arcee character, but that I disliked that particular figure.

My other regrets are giving away the following G1 figures (complete with boxes and all accessories) to a neighbour when I was 15:

- Pipes
- Soundwave
- Metroplex
- Powermaster Slapdash
- Targetmaster Triggerhappy
- Predacon Tantrum

Those are toys that you and future generations will not be able to enjoy

*spoilers*

I TOTALLY regretted watching ROTF as soon as I saw Sam go to Robot Heaven

I regret the Star Wars Transformers. Flimsy pieces of junk that were thrown in a box and turned yellow. The only cool one is the Darth Vader/Death Star, mostly because it's Darth Vader AND the Death Star.

I'm actually in the process of resurrecting the ones that i can, i think thunderclash's trailer is gone, but hurricane and boss are gonna get some articulation and some new paint, as they will never be original again. Rotorstorm is already 95% done, i'll post in the creative bit soon .

ON TOPIC: I regret Movie 1 Megatrons, ROTF Payload, and all Powercore guys.

...and not getting Classics starscream.

I almost always pre-order any Japanese toy that I want - which usually works out well for me because it means I get the toy at the original retail price. But sometimes this can work against me when the toy shelf-warms and gets heavily discounted... the "worst" case of this was the God Ginrai reissue -- paid full retail for that sucker (7980JPY - about $90-100)... then later on it shelf warmed so badly that even local import stores in Sydney were selling them for just $20!

I should've gotten a second one at that price to keep sealed. Gah... damnit.
