your top 5 regrets as a collector...

[jonny88]

For some reason l didn't buy the Scarface PF in mint condition for $100. l regret buying the Neca pred for $110 total. Not my style of figure, and that is the only one l regret buying.

1. Buying high selling low on Medicom stormtrooper, Bruce Lee and OC Bats.

2. Buying Medicom Kamen Rider The Next V3 - that thing is the crappest figure I haven't sold.

3. Buying EB Bruce Lee parts to put together a custom GoD. Ended up costing me over $250

4. Not buying one or two more SS Stormies at $80 a piece from BBTS

5. Not picking up SS Vader at $125 when I had the chance. Paid nearly twice that shipped.

1. Missing out on the HT T2 T-800 when he was 169.99 at toys2 (I was a new collector at the time and had no idea how fast he would sell out )

2. Missing out on HT Blade at retail

Haven't had many regrets yet but I will certainly add to the list as time passes by

 

[King Darkness]

Canceling Pumpkinhead Com.

 

[BB&WSF]

Regret's are many Few worth listing...

1. Do not have enough money to buy everything I want to

2. Getting into this hobby very late

3. Geographical location being a major challenge

4. Losing my money to Collectors Universe on the bay

5. Still not able to find time to work on a decent display

Recently: When I missed Paquet's Swamp Thing FS statue and Alex Horley's Lobo at a very good price

 

[sithlord13]

1/ not selling my 90s comics when they were actually worth something.
2/ not discovering 1/6 sooner- although to be fair they was little about then - buying all that hasbro cra p
3/wasting lots of money on cars.(when i should have bought a house and toys)!!!

4/ not keeping my ht iron man
5/ not buying the BSG replica for 28£ that now goes for hundreds!!

 

[intothevoid]

Not buying the Tumbler at retail

Not buying 1mod6s TDK armoury and batcomputer dios while he was still offering them

That is all

 

[devilof76]

No regrets.

Whatever was beyond my means when I wanted it was forgotten. Whatever I paid too much for, I knew what I was doing when I did it, and if I cared, I wouldn't have done it. I've never passed on something I couldn't do without and I've never sold anything I wish I hadn't.

There's a ton of stuff I wish I had, and plenty I wish I still had, but I don't, and none of it has any real hold on me. I'm content.

Thanks. Although I wonder what the hell I was trying to say in that last line, because it makes no sense.

There's a ton of stuff I wish I had, and plenty I wish I still had, but I don't, and none of it has any real hold on me

I think I meant that the stuff I don't have is cool, as were the things I sold, but in the end, I care about what I have, not what I don't.

I'm not laid back about many things, but this is one area of my life that I've forbidden stress from entering.

If Pumpkinhead is the only regret you can come up with, then you should know exactly what I'm talking about.
