your top 5 regrets as a collector...

[Hellz Manik]

buying sideshow when i should have spent that money on a bobby c heath ledger

 

[Theokan]

Trading my HT IRONMAN MARK 3 BD & MARK 4 for a Predator 1

Trading my Ht BLADE for an OC BATMAN

ouch

 

[DPrime]

In no particular order...

1. Not buying that stupid GI Joe convention Rowdy Roddy Piper - I thought it was a crappy figure, and I still do, but I should have bought at least a couple to sell down the road. I had no idea it would bring in so much money.

2. Buying the Snake Eyes vs. Red Ninja dio from Sideshow. It's cool and all, but I'm really not a statue guy and I really should have put the money to something else. Oh well. I'll keep it for now, but we'll see...

3. Cancelling Hot Toys Corleone ex - what was I thinking!?

4. Buying too much stuff while I was away on deployment! Though I did get some great stuff, I should have passed on a lot of it.

5. Not keeping all my original Joes and SW from when I was a kid... and in mint condition. But hey, what can you do. I was a kid.

 

[Morbach]

That's until HT releases HT DX TDK Batman V2....

I'm in the same boat, everyone knows there is a V2 coming, whether its for TDK or TDKR, so no regrets for me

you are correct

 

[Rzeznikk]

1. Giving away most of my original KENNER Star Wars figures to my cousin when I was a kid.

2. Buying a lifesize Rubies Gollum/Smeagol for $600 when I could have bought a Lifesize Illusive Concepts Han Solo in Carbonite for $900. D'OH!

3. Selling my HT Dutch, Captain Dallas, Hell Boy and Ellen Ripley with Power Loader

4. Collecting SPAWN

5. Not keeping all my toys I had as a kid. Star Wars, MOTU, Secret Wars, DC Super Powers, Batman 1989, TMNT, Transformers, Black Star, Silver Hawks...etc. TONS of Toys...all GONE!

 

[Dr.Mirakle32]

1. Missing out on Blade, because I assumed HT would make a Blade I figure. Still waiting

2. Foolishly passing on the Hot Toys Vito Corleone when he was up for retail. Ended up paying more than twice that to finally get it.

That's pretty much it. With all of the great stuff coming out, I'm very satisfied with my collection.

 

[Darth Krayt]

That would have to be:
1.-Not getting the first marvel releases from sideshow, like Dr. Doom or Hulk PF´s
2.-Buying Bowen statues instad of the earlier
3.-Selling my Akuma PF...D´ho
4.-Buying MR lightsabers
5.-Not keeping all my original starwars figures.

1. Amount of money I spent on 21st. Century Toys.
2. Amount of money I spent on 21st. Century Toys.
3. Amount of money I spent on 21st. Century Toys.
4. Amount of money I spent on 21st. Century Toys.
5. Change up. Buying Taylor and Barnes if HT doesn't do Elias.

what don't you like about the Endo bust?

Don't get me wrong, in person its an attractive piece but HCG cheaped out on the fingers. The entire piece is made of polystone but for some reason the fingers are made of plastic. The fingers hold the majority of the plasma rifles weight. Stupid. Not to mention my trigger fingers don't even fit into the triggers of the plasma rifles. One of them do with some maneuvering but the other, not even close. Plus their customer service blows balls too. It blows because you can't even contact them.

You'll never see me spend a single penny on future HCG product. Oh did I also mention it costed me $1100?

 

[DP2011]

What the Hell!



Guess not.

Passing on Dr. Doom PF Exclusive when it seemed to remain in stock for some time.

I think they go for $1500 plus now.

One sold yesterday on ebay for $2650.

^^
Ha, to rub it in

 

[bandito]

Not buying Batpod @ half-off

 

[RaZaTrOn]

Not really been in the game long enough to have 5 regrets.

About a year and a half in my only regret so far is not having enough money to have 'incase' i want to buy something.

For example i didn't get Whiplash and because of the i didn't get Mark V. I don't regret the decision but i wouldn't have minded having those two figures if i had the cash.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

I only have one at the moment - not buying a 1:18 Hot Wheels 1989 Batmobile when they were in the stores, & having to navigate through endless insanely priced eBay listings ever since.

 

[DPrime]

4. Collecting SPAWN

Yeah, but Spawn figures arguably started the modern era of toy collecting. Nothing to be ashamed of.

2. Foolishly passing on the Hot Toys Vito Corleone when he was up for retail. Ended up paying more than twice that to finally get it.

Two times retail seems like a deal, nowadays.

Oh well, I've come to terms that I won't ever own one now. Doesn't really fit with the rest of my collection, anyway.

 

[Desamo]

I only got one regret.I didnt bought Hasbro Slave Leia at retail when I had a chance.I still need to get that figure.

 

[Solidus]

1. Buying a Medicom figure (RAH Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake) for $330 back in 2009.

2. Canceling the Hot Toys Terminator 2 Arnold figure.

3. Canceling the Hot Toys Barney Ross figure.

 

[EVILFACE]

A lot of these regrets are hilarious.

 

[Silent December]

I'll play. In no particular order

Canceling Captain America PF. Twice.

Selling 3 HT DK Batman at retail

This one still hurts, selling my complete GI Joe 25th Ann. collection cause I thought I had to.

nothing too bad.
