Have you ever regret about one of your pieces maybe you paid so much for a figure or you noticed that you even didn’t like it after you get, and you even now don’t know why did you’ve bought it

RoboForce. I had them as a child, but realy they are just clunky robots. I think the nostalgia of having them as a child really influenced my buying decision on these. Overtime tho my collection has evolved and I just don't see a place for them in my collection. I don't really even like them as much as I thought I would. Just clunky robots that are kinda meh!?

1. Selling the Star Wars collection I built from around age 11 to my early to mid 20s (when I sold it a few years ago). I had a stack of POTF coins, nearly every figure in the series (including a minty Blue Snaggletooth, most of the last 17 and Luke w/ Double Telescoping Saber). Those were the highlights of the collection. The collection I started building late last June isn't too bad though!
2. not taking care of/getting rid of all my childhood toys. Tons of GI Joe, Masters of the Universe, Bravestarr, Transformers, Supernaturals, Bionic Six, Thundercats, Ghostbusters, Marvel Super Heroes, Silver Hawks, Secret Wars, WWF, Guts, Monster in my Pocket, Super Powers. You name it, I had it.
Recent mistakes:
Not getting to an Estate Sale earlier enough and losing out on a bunch of Joes, Star Wars, Mego and assorted 70s/80s toys.
Not buying a boxed Joe Silver Mirage for only $10 (seriously, what the hell was I thinking?)
Making one last low-ball offer on an already nicely priced Star Wars lot and having the guy get pissed at me and ending the deal.
Recently over paying for a Star Wars lot of junker figures. It was a blind purchase.

Not picking up 2 carded Tomy windup Ghosts at $25 apiece (both the red one and the blue one) when I had a chance. I'm sure there's more, but that's definitely one... Oh, and borrowing my fathers car, hitting a deer, breaking his windshield and having to sell my SHS Vulture/Spidey pack and Venom/Sandman pack for $175 to get it fixed. So I basically gave them away...  |

Selling my entire Sigma Six collection for like.....30 dollars when i desperately needed money. I know they aren't expensive, but I honestly had so much fun collecting that line that it made me feel like a kid again.
I've also let dozens of great ebay deals slip through the cracks because i would think "something better" will come down the pipe. yeah right.

Selling a Starroid Raider I stumbled upon. I got it for 2 sold it for 25 and always felt a little sick because the figure was so cool.

Not IMMEDIATELY e-mailing the Craigslister that was selling a 7 foot long by 4.5 foot wide plastic Millenium Falcon store display for $200 immediately after I saw it... Thus I was #3 in line and missed out. And am stuck with the nagging feeling that if I hadn't waited 24 hours I could've snagged it.

Had a chance to buy all 4 Microman Robo Punches for $140 and passed on it. I can't even find one of them now and am consistently pissed when I think of it.
They're from 1980 and were for sale in Japan.

I forgot to bid on a Q Bert watch (not a toy but I collect Q Bert stuff), in the original box, and it only got 1 bid (it was misspelled in the listing). It sold for $25!!! They are usually $70+ LOOSE, I've sen them boxed for sale for around $200 or more.....That one hurt.

I was thinking today how I sold my vintage A-wing for maybe 100 dollars back in 2001. I loved that vehicle. For a while in the early 90's there was no star wars figures for sale at all. I remember my entire collection consisted of Jan Tosh, the A-Wing, Logray, and some bendies storm troopers. I really miss those days.
I also traded that Logray in 2nd grade for some random gi joe. I have no idea why,
