    I have a couple... Before I got serious back into collecting I missed Energon Omega Supreme.
    I remember holding him a target saying "huh... cool" then moved along. :banghead: 

    When I just got back into collecting my BJ's had Dark Scorponok, and a few other Cybertron Voyagers and Ultras for about $12 each. Once again... :banghead: 

    This is mistake I'm about to correct. When the Hasbro SE came to the TJX stores I nabbed all but Overkill. Why, don't ask me but I think I found one cheap enough to pick up.

    Fortress Maximus, Jetfire, Generation 2 Megatron. The Movie toys don't really appeal to me very much, as I think they're all kind of ugly, to be honest. The closer a toy is to the Generation1 aesthetic, the better. The faces on the movie toys all seem deformed to me. And Starscream with those funky legs, wide body, and weird head do nothing for me.

    Mine would have to be Universe 2.0 Cosmos. I saw that damn thing ONCE at a Meijer down in Sandusky, and I eventually decided against him for a game. To this day, I still kick myself for not picking him up. :banghead:

    Not getting 2 or 3 more Generations Scourges (Who'd have thought they'd NEVER MAKE IT TO MY REGION?)
    Blesser
    Prolly a few more, but I have few regrets.

    RTS Windcharger - there were a lot on its first few days on the shelf, and a week later, *BAMF*. there are a few in specialty shops, but priced like it was a deluxe-class figure.

    1) Fort Max: When I was a kid, I was in the "Transformers are not interesting anymore" phase (thank you so much Season 3 and my own so so grades in School in those days, 1987 for some of you younger members out there)
    2) Brave Max: Fast forward to 2000, I was just starting to work at Bradlees and I missed my chance to get the Korean Version on clearance on BBTS)
    3) Tripredicus and Mangaboss: Had several chances even when they where on regular releases
