    I regret nothing!

    Oh wait well I mean recently I regret nothing, but thinking about it I regret selling some G1s when I wanted to try to "grow up" back when I was getting into 8th grade or high school.

    Hey original poster I'll sell ya my Cyb Soundwave..

    Probably RID Prowl, X-Brawn and Megatron. I know they'd be relatively cheap to replace, but I haven't got around to it, and i brought them at a really fun time of my collecting life so they have some sentimentality attached!

    One of the figures I regret selling from my G1 collection was Shockwave. I kept it inside the package and I never open it. Several months ago, I seen a original G1 Shockwave with the package in pristine mint condition. The seller wanted $1500.00.

    Right now the only one I regret selling is my G1 Powermaster Dreadwind, considering I sold it for $35 and now it goes for $100+ :banghead: 

    I've bought back most of the other Transformers I regretted selling, but I can't bring myself to pay over $100 for this guy.

    Well - I regret not going through the TF's that I had when I was a kid. My mom ended up giving them to my nephew or something. They're long gone now - this was back in 1998.

    I had a complete Fortress Maximus... :cry 


    Anyway, as for ones that I've sold recently - no regret, really. Whenever I start to think "oh, I kinda miss that figure" I think of the reasons I sold it in the first place and then I'm like "oh, right" and that pretty much takes care of that.

    I sold a ton of case fresh misb tts that I will reget. I didn't think much of it back then, they were cheap and there was no eBay, I never saw it getting THIS big. I knew a guy that had a storage unit filled with them. I sold almost all my case fresh G1 cars I personally cherry picked from unopened cases. All I have left are the 3 datsun cars. The worst part is knowing I will never replace them. No way I'd pay $1200 for a misb sunstreaker when I plucked out a perfect one for $100 back in the day. I had the targetmasters, headmasters, soundblaster, white astrotrain. I had so many. :(

    Are you the Macrossworld guy?

    I sold my MISB case fresh US Fort Max for $9K to help with a down payment on my house. I love my house, but will never find another sealed Fort Max in that condition.

    Paid $800.00 for the Max.

    I haven't sold any of my TF's, and I don't plan to unless it's a do-or-die kinda problem.

    Sell? How about GIVE AWAY?
    I had no real love for the RID figures or series. I was happy to see vehicle modes, and LOVED Brut... er, "Ruination" and Scourge (who I still own). However, I decided to GIVE the other figures I had to a friend's son. He LOVED the cartoon, and I'd thought it'd be a nice gesture to start another child down the road of a crazed Transformers fan. -It worked, but at the cost of a complete Landfill, the Autobot cars, Leader Prime & Ultra Magnus...

    I'm still debating wether or not to repurchase Prime & Magnus... And I really don't want to spend the money that they're going for these days... :D

    G1 Scourge, Trypticon, Octane, Rollbar, a mint complete Thundercracker, G2 Sideswipe, and a few others, mainly because these are now the only holes left in my g1 collection and such with the exception of Trypticon that i resently regained.

    I have sold many awesome pieces in the past...but the one I regret the most was a legit Japanese MISB D-37 Devastator Giftset...It would have easily graded an 85..I was actually about to send it to AFA but I received a generous offer for it and it was shipped to Japan instead...It took me years of networking with Japanese dealers to land this piece...I will never see one of these again...Major regret!!
