Same with me hate myself for not picking this one up for retail


I remember passing up the Joker/Bank Robber 2-pack multiple times when Gemini had it on clearance.



This is “kind of” mine too except I actually picked up a few of these “paint defects” which had really no damage but then traded them pretty soon after for not much of a gain. I miss that clearance sale when it had such great pieces for dirt cheap.

My question is if you could go back in time and pick up that pop or not trade and sell a pop what would it be? It doesn't have to be a pop thats worth thousands or anything unobtainable it could be a personal grail.

Personally when I think about it I remember when I had the complete Wizard of Oz set, I ended up trading them to the states for a pop that was worth quite a bit at the time but i still think about the set.

That’s going to be an eventful week. The pool is the icing on the cake IMO. If you have time, try to drive up to LA. Check out Universal Studios.

For me it would be the original Hatbox Ghost. My favorite character from my favorite ride at Disney. I don't know why I didn't snag it the first time around, but it's been my White Whale ever since. Surprised they've never revisited him in any form since- we got the 3 pack of the Hitchhiking Ghosts a few years back, as well as some minis. We got the Hatbox Ghost from the movie, granted, but without his hatbox!

I don't even think I had a shot at getting it back then but the 9in GITD Buzz Lightyear from 2013? D23 comes to mind. Not even really because of the Buzz but more for the Metallic Zurg that came with it haha
