    So as title says, are there any "older" 3rd party or MP Takara toys you wish you had bought earlier, not because necessarily because of current price comparisons, but maybe cause you missed out on an amazing figure that for whatever reason, wasnt fitting your old collection / space / budget, but now is.

    I just bought KO MP Prowl, and wow, he looks so awesome, i wonder wtf havent i bought the original or the ko sooner. Heck, i wish i could have bought original from HLJ at old price ;) . At the same time, i regret having sold my original MP smokescreen a few years back, but was changing focus at that time.

    I am sure more will come, but just cant stop looking at it and rethinking why havent i gotten this earlier, like years earlier!!!

    MP-01. I wasn't collecting at the time, but I would have loved to see him at the store. I'm sure it would have sparked something awesome. Technically, I still haven't bought him, but I'm considering it just "because" I don't think he really fits with anything I have, though.

    While not MP or 3P, I really wish I had gotten a TT Universal Dominator Unicron :(  (it makes me sad enough to bring it up lol)

    I really was tempted by Commotus, but never pulled the trigger. Now he's crazy expensive, and unlikely to get another run.

    Brawny is being re-released and you can still get the metroplex and uranos upgrades (not sure which ones you're referring to, but...)

    I feel you. I had to get the Mech Ideas BotCon (or something like that) versions. Which were red and black.

    Apex and Geminus and XTB X1 Glider. I had to buy all three later on for decent prices but not what I wanted when I first saw them. Until Terminus Giganticus came around it would have been Planet X Genesis. I love Utopia and Pandinus but I am just not down with the scale. The purchase regret was obviously Kronos and Apollyon.

    FT Stomp for sure. Had this idea i would wait until all Dinobots were released and then pick them up. That was a bad idea...

    I'm hoping the MPM series has this as a reboot. Bumblebee's already on the list for sure.
