Well the title says it all. Let's all gather here to pay our respects to figures we've sold and deeply regret selling.  

TRU Exclusive MP Soundwave- Sold last year. Won't disclose selling price because it was PEANUTS compared to what he's fetching now. I would give anything to get that figure back, even painted his eyes the G1 red. Sadly he's a goner as I'm not paying the prices he's commanding now.

Who do you guys miss dearly?

 

G1 Soundwave.   Also my die cast feet Hot Rod and Highbrow.

 

MP-10b

What was I thinking?

 

Original G1 Japanese Predaking complete in individual boxes (D-73 to D-77). Sold for a mere $500 about five years ago.

 

Right in the feels. Sold him too  

 

Soundwave...

oups, meant as a pm...

 

I regret selling UW-05  

 

My collection of Alternators. It was complete other than convention exclusives. I really miss them

 

I regret nothing! As a compulsive hoarder I can't even get rid of the boxes  

 

My G1 Brawn and Sludge from when I was small. Brawn especially as no official or 3P has come close to the very special feel of that toy. FT Sludge is adequate. If they'd bothered to paint his chest and not done the stupid toon head he'd be beyond perfect.

 

Universe Nemesis Prime
Masterpiece Skywarp MP-6, I eventually bought another though
Masterpiece Ultra Magnus MP-2
RotF Ravage
RotF Wheelie (deluxe)
Most of my RotF Sideways variant collection

 

MP-12G

Fun repaint, lovely gloss black finish. Sold it because it didn't fit in with my collection at the time, but no way am I ever gonna find one for €35 again  

Just sold a few other MPs but so far no feelings of remorse, hope that feeling stays

 

I regret a couple of G1 trades I made as a kid, but that's about all. More than anything, I regret not taking better care of my toys as a lad. My G1 TF's have been transformed probably hundreds of times to the point where everything is a loose, floppy mess.

 

MP Lambor and MP Wheeljack

I was switching out of MP for another line, I sold a lot of my MPs, but now, as I have FT Willis (Hound) and FT Dinots / bugs, I really wish I didn't sell Lambor and Wheeljack at least.

 

Bruticus with the fansproject add on that thing liked badass and I really want it back but don't want to spend to money.

 

Never sold any...

But I have purged my collection many times over the years, not regretting the joy it brought my nephews, just regretting a few figures here and there.


I have since restored those that I have missed, while at the same time plan another purge.  . Wonder who I will miss in a few years???

 

I miss my near complete Alternators collection, and some of my BW figures. Mostly Ultra Primal and Megs, Rampage, Depthcharge, and Optimal Optimus.

 

I do kinda regret selling off my G1 Dinobots. Two of them were mine since childhood. But I never regret selling off toys because I know that they have a new home to go to.

 

My flawless G1 MISB cars, my case Fresh Deszarus, greatshot, Victory Saber, Star Saber, Star Scream, my case fresh targetmasters.....sigh. If I only knew. They're undoubtedly in some prestine afa collections right now. At least I kept some of my favorites.


This is 99-01 maybe. Accumulated in college in my first apartment. This shelf only Megatron was MIB I think. Maybe one of the cars. All case fresh boxes. I spent maybe $500 on all this through college. $500 on grand max.

 

The only two I ever regret selling were Alternators Shockwave and Kitty Ravage. I ended up buying them again because I missed them.
