The Regret Thread

[liegeprime]

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.

or mebbe 3-4 so you could've sold them at todays prices .... or you could have just displayed them in various modes heheheh

BM Mega Cheetor. Even on clearance he wasn't worth it. Awful toy. But hey, I had the good sense to ignore the Supreme version (:

Unlike people like me who purchased Supreme Cheetor at full retail. Man that thing kept on shelf-warming and shelf-warming and TRU never did discount it (much like what's happening w/ Ghost Starscream now, only on a way larger scale)

I regret during periods of drought in retail stores spending my money on other things (that I really don't need) instead of saving the money and getting something I've been waiting for

I don't have any major TF regrets that come to mind, my only related major regret was selling my MASK trucks as a child, they were all in such good condition. I then used the money to buy Turbomasters, which were cool, but not MASK truck cool.

I suppose I regret buying many Armadaverse toys, but I sold them too, so problem solved.

Except ghost Starscream may actually be worth $100.

Except that they're selling him for $250...

I personally love Leader Class Sentinel Prime, but my regretted purchases would have to be:

• Classics Grimlock (If you own it, you'll know why )
• A host of Beast Wars Neo figures (Because I turned around and sold them thinking they were Beast Machine Repaints... ).

Oh how I am very glad that I have learnt so much from this board.

Whats the problem with classics Grimlock? I Don't own him but I was thinking about buying him.

[LIST][*]Classics Grimlock (If you own it, you'll know why )

I own Classics Grimlock and I don't see the problem. I thought it was an interesting revamp for the toy.

I dont think classics grimlock is a bad toy just not epic like his MP self.

i regret buying TFC Battle Roller. that was a flimsy POS.
and pretty muh all the Power core combiners except maybe huffer.

I like this thread.

I agree on TFC battle Roller. I still haven't even opened it. Bad choice.

My other regret were all the Kabaya figures I bought. Never got around to building them and hated the stickers.

Also those non-transforming gold ones that came with coffee in Japan. I them as I can't ever see myself displaying them (and that's ignoring the space issue)
