Most of the first run of Beast Wars. I had got my first job in high school and had expendable income, but I bought the Toybiz Marvel figures. I hadn't seen the series and I thought there was no way that non-vehicle Transformers would catch on...I was wrong, oh so wrong.

When I finally watched Beast Wars in college, I kicked myself for not buying the figures when I had expendable income.

 

MMC Titanika. I put that one off figuring id pick it up later. By the time i was going to pull the trigger you couldnt find her anywhere....

 

All forms of Hasbro or Takara Sharkticons and my biggest regret not getting Metroplex. Costco had him for 89.00 a few years ago, and I skipped buying him because I wasn't collect TF's at the time.

 

The RID2000 Optimus Prime. I passed him up several times, even though I was enjoying RID2000 on TV. Finally got him used, missing his pistol.

Oh, god. That's very close to how I handled it, too. I finally started buying them around when the Transmetal II figures started coming out.

 

T30 springer he often shows up on ebay for cheap when i dont have permision to buy something

 

The legends titan master that came with legends Octane with Ghost Starscrem titan master. Too pricey just to get a titan master

 

TR Brawn is my current. The mold just didn't excite me much-now that I have Outback, even less so. It's a fine mold its just..ya know, fine. But I really want a Brawn. I'm missing various minibots but he's probably the one I'd really like to fill the gap in the most, but at this point I'm probably more likely to buy a cloud brawn then pay 20 for a legends  

Logical? Not at all....and yet...

 

Siege Ironhide.
I want one to display alongside my SS Ironhide and I do think he's a cool toy based on reviews but I passed on him multiple times for various reasons and now he's vanished off the local shelves. Oh well.

 

I missed out twice on decent priced RID Sam's club yellow fire truck Optimus Prime a few years ago.

 

TR Overlord
Toyworld Bulldog

 

Feel ya man, I missed out on T30 Jetfire for $25 cause I couldn't get an ebay card.

 

That’s one thing I’m giving up on finding. And I don’t even want it as Prime I want it because he was repurposed as hotshot by the club once.

 

Similar for me.... got Misfire, didn't feel this version of Windblade and not sold on Twin Twist right away, and both were shelf warming for a while...dropped in price and told myself "maybe.. but not sure"... both disappeared instantly when I make up my mind to get them.

Managed to get a Twin Twist that with the shipping end up being 50$CAN, but still a good 20$ cheaper than on eBay and anywhere else I've seen him. And I pulled the trigger after several 'cons that had freaking nothing and neither of them. Windblade, I'll see for how much IF I ever see it one day at a 'con or such.

Metroplex is the main "regret" that I missed as I wasn't getting into TF all that much at the time, just the odd one now and then, and wasn't considering the titans yet.

I've been on the mindset to say "will I regret if I don't get it" now... as some end up being unique sightings... others will be a case of overpaying for them when they end up being plentiful and available for sales, but the risk is that I might miss them.

I remember that there was a few that I kicked myself for missing them a while back, but I forget which ones now... so I guess they weren't that important after all.

 

Meh.. while it looks amazing, it's a very fragile figure during transformation.. many reported breaking theirs.

Note that KOs are very plentiful, so you can easily get one for cheap.

 

Thinking on it, a large chunk of Combiner Wars and Titans Return. Back when we thought we might never get 'proper' combiners, and the best Headmaster's we've gotten was Hardhead recolored from Onslaught, I bought a lot of third-party toys representing them. When those toylines rolled around, I got some of the combiners, like Megatronia and Victorion, then I got Computron and... found I liked them a lot more than the over-complex, much larger and unwieldy third-party toys. I also got Krok and some other Titans and found I also liked them a lot more than the third-party toys.

So I sold off my third-party toys and, thanks to some BBTS sales, managed to catch up on those at least. And I am enjoying playing with the CW and TR toys a lot more than I ever did the third-party toys.

 

TR Kup,has great colours and headsculpt renders him different .I always wanto to buy him but always pass for more important toys and on any purchase, I'm always confident to buy him on my next order , because he's absolutely not rare and also new bots have very cheap prices although I'll go for an used one.
