DM Bret Hart for £7. I didn't collect at the time but remember looking at the figure as I liked Bret when I was a Kid, and being surprised by how cheap it was. Gutted! That and his pink attire from Survivor series 1995 figure!Which one was that? |

DM Shawn and Macho Man warmed at my Target for ages. I went and got Macho the day the news of his passing came out, so I’m glad I was able to get it but I’m bummed I never got Shawn. They had several one day and then totally cleared the shelves of them the next.
The only other one that immediately comes to mind is the Elite Chavo from near the beginning of the line. I was going to wait another day or two thinking no one would want him but it’s the only time I’ve ever seen the figure.

There were a lot of legends and DMs I left on the shelf priced at $5-$10. I could probably retire if I had invested in those figures back then.

DM Bret Hart on clearance at TRU Canada for $15. There were three left in the bin...
This was about 6 months before I started collecting

I had an opportunity to get Harley Race for $40 on eBay when the set first dropped. I should have bitten the bullet then but I thought my stores would carry FB 3. I was dumb to assume.
More recently I could have preordered Buddy Murphy but he's nigh impossible to find

E16 Kevin Nash, I saw him and didn't have enough money for him.
A couple more E12 Kane's. I already had one, but I should have bought the others for trades here. Same goes for all of the other E16 Diesel's that I saw at Kmart.

I was ready to comment "nah no regrets I see what I like and I buy" but not picking up those rockers is my biggest regret. My bro would always tell me "get those rockers, get those rockers, they're dirt cheap!" I was planning to but waited too long. Who doesn’t buy this new in box for $5?! Us. We are stupid Lmao nah not stupid but the decision was. If I'm not mistaken, Rockers were $15 - $20 MOC and loose were $5-$7 bucks. I remember loose was under $10. |

I managed to pick up the Legends Rockers 2pack from Matty Collector but I can't remember how much I paid for it. I still have it MOC thankfully. I did pass on Elite 7 HHH and HBK because I had the basics already LOL. I did buy E7 Hornswoggle though so I'm not a complete moron. I’m starting to remember the rockers was actually about $15 moc on rsc and $5 for the flood damage loose set. Either way, I passed and I’m dumb Yesssss I believe that's how much they were going for. |

I’ve only been collecting since maybe like Elite 40ish
But I’d say grabbing Hulk Hogan Defining moments when it was on sale for like $6 at Walmart.

Same goes for all of the other E16 Diesel's that I saw at Kmart. When I first started I made myself a rule not to pay more than $50 for a figure on the secondary market. At that time e16 Nash and E12 Kane were both selling for about $55 moc. I’ve still never got them |

Of figures that came out since I started collecting in 2016? None, except possibly Boogeyman. Not a character that I have any attachment to, but just a cool looking figure.
I do regret not going and buying up older figures. When I started my collection, I decided that I was only going to buy what was available at retail at the time and moving forward. A few months I loosened that to picking up a few figures on ebay if I could get them for $10 or less - ended up adding USA Luger, The Giant, and one or two others. I ended up buying a lot of those early Legends since then, and probably could have saved myself $10-20 per figure compared to what I ended up paying.

Elite Yoshi Tatsu. I wanted that figure SO badly but didn't have a job to pay for it. Saw it once and didn't ask for it, then boom. Gone to time. Same thing goes for Evan Bourne's first Elite in red. Good think I jumped on the Air Boom figure. I also regret never ordering the Ringside Jakks Deluxe Aggression Hardyz. I can guarantee you that I hoped on the Pre-Order DAY ONE for the Mattel ones though! Money well spent!

Honestly, there's only a handful of figures I'm looking for (hit up my DMs if you're looking to part with anything in my wants lol).
Most of my regrets are not buying doubles. lol

After all of these replies, I sympathize with everyone that missed out on various things. It's such a tight rope situation when you start collecting or when a new line launches to buy or not to buy.
20/20 hindsight obviously but this why I now try to really go all in and sometimes get stuff that I'm not super crazy about at the time. I've already noticed a bunch of Elites from waves 30-50 that I'm glad I bought that are now stupid expensive on the secondary market. If I had to pay scalper prices for things it would really put a damper on the joy of collecting for me.
