Ughh first Yummy mummy and Frute Brute, in my cart and decided not to bite. Second Indiana Jones at Disney, my buddy got there early, waited in line and said I should meet him… but I decided I’d rather sleep in.

The Grand Inquisitor from Star Wars Rebels...regretted not buying him early on, regretted not jumping to it when there was even just a CHANCE that he could be in Obi-Wan, and then when he showed up in the trailer. ](*,)

Dabi. I remember seeing him in hot topic forever but I haven’t watched MHA yet. Now the show is super huge and it’s a grail. One of my biggest mistakes.

Another mistake is when I won the NYCC online lottery. Got in the que and and didn’t look at everything. At the bottom was the 1k Boba Fett and I missed it because I was in a huge hurry to check out. Hurts sooo bad lol.

NYCC 2019 Mandalorian. I saw him up on Funko Shop later in the day during the drop. I was surprised he hadn't sold out but completely passed on him. I didn't realize then how much I would love the show and how it would revitalize my love for the Star Wars franchise! He's since come down in price but I could have had him for retail had I known better!

Biggest regret is at NYCC 2014 walking by a booth selling a Planet Arlia Vegeta for $40 and not buying it because i was convinced i could get it cheaper some where else and of course i didn't and It was gone when i came back to the booth for it.

Tied to my "First Pop" story, I passed on getting all the Michael Jackson Pops (not to mention Notorious B.I.G.), at the EMP Museum in Seattle in 2013 during a tourist visit.... Only got the Smooth Criminal, but had to pass b/c of limited luggage space. Ended up finding them later, but at a much higher price point ](*,)

I feel I have more regrets of stuff I've sold than not buying lol
Wish I didn't have to sell my Dr Strange protos but was worth it and now I'm hunting a few down hahaha

But as for stuff I regret not buying would be:
Dexter & Johnny Bravo Shop exclusives because I forgot -_-

Yeah honestly I don’t mind camping out you meet so many cool people and just story swap. A big one I regret not camping out for is the pop up shop at 2017 comic con. I was there for comic con but my wife was like hell no your not camping out. Gahh so many good pops were dropped at that damn pop up shop!

You are right, some of the best pops. Can you imagine if Funko did another pop up at SDCC? It would be insane with the amount of people that would show up and camp out. lol

Quite possibly the BEST year of Con exclusives in my opinion. I remember spending so much money that year with all the great sculpts!!! I didn't know about the pop up shop since I was still new to collecting, a few I wish I had the chance to get. But I can't complain since I was lucky enough to attend my first Fundays that year!!

I do have a regret of my own. I’ve been going to Comicon for a long time. I remember passing on the TMNT sponge bob funko because at that time I wasn’t a collector and I wasn’t into sponge bob as much. Oh well. It wasnt lent to be.

Came here to say that.

Nearly started out my collection with them but passed up on it. Wish that wasn't the case but they aren't all out of reach. Just a pretty penny needed.
