Your worst "did not buy story"

[vhtf.hw.lego]

My story, I had stopped my Lego collections at age of 14 and 12 years later (2006), I found my Love for them back.

But during then in 2005 before I start, I missed a few sets like Lego #7243 Construction Site & Lego #10152 Maersk Sealand when it available in our local stores. Both of them are sets most regretted.

One point of time when our local stores has value pack #65800 (consisting of #7242, #7243, #7248 & #7249) for USD 150 & limited set

Only thing I encountered was a Imperial Armada ship running at 1.25$ with a day to go on ebay. It even had an extra figure, the red spaniard with the metal plate 8-

The original X-wing

The person above me likes contest way too much X-D

Okay, so here we go.

A HUGE starwars lightsaber and parts collection on EBAY for a dirt cheap price. Instead, I bought the droid tri-fighter. Ugh.

[jedikermit]

MISB original Falcon at $50 in a store.

That's mine too. I'll add the Imperial Inspection for $25. What was I (not) thinking???

[hollisbrick]

The V-wing, still havnt got it :-(

[Captain Green Hair]

The metroliner, but i just ordered one and it's on it's way *sweet*

I don't understand how thats a worst did not buy story.

[Norro]

MISB 1729 Barnacle Bay Value Pack on eBay for under US$15.

Ouch!

My worst was a whole range of the 97 pirates in a toy store in 2002. They weren't marked down so I could only buy one... Errr...

God Bless,

I regret not picking up more unitron sets while I could, I only have two of each, and couldve used another monorail and zenon station *sing* This was only 3 or 4 years ago aswell, at 20% off even, I noticed afew of each. Its not a great story, just more of a regret of not getting and saving them misb to sell for great profits.. *skull*

[casewindu]

At my time when I wasn't really into star wars Lego and the RGS and the AT-AT and the AT-TE were all going for sale but i never baught them!

I still got a jangos slave one though! that was such a great set and Jango goes on ebay for about

[Derek]

I regret not buting most of the HP PoA line and the SW RotS Sets |-/ as it was wheni first started collecting LEGO and I did not take full advantage of the Media play BOGO sale... :-(

[Siegfried]

Mine still is the Cloud City set that was half price. Darn Dark Ages... :'-(

[Clonie]

Once I was shopping around in late 2002 (I was around 9), and I bought the Exo-Toa because I couldn't find the Bahrag.

Then I went to TRU later that day and they had them. I didn't want to trouble my mum for it since I had already gotten something that was a fair amount of money, and I figured it would be available later.

WRONG.

Huh, that's what you get for putting other people first. X-D

I went through a dim age (wasn't buying much LEGO) from 02-05 so I missed several SW sets I would have purchased, such as the RGS, 4504 Falcon, 4500 Snowspeeder, and I would definitely have purchased any and all of those on sale or clearance. I'm amazed that I had the presence of mind to buy the TIE Bomber and Jango's Slave I.

Not picking up FREE Lego (Pirate Lego) from my firend when I had the chance. Now I have to pay. |-/ ;-)

[JSN]

My current one is the half price holiday train. Saw it at the start of the week and thought I would leave it till pay day. Get home from work today and its sold out. D'OH!!!!!

[trooperdavinfelth]

I do regret not getting the UCS Tie Interceptor and X-Wing, but later on I realized UCSs were not my thing, except for the awesome ones. (Hailfire droid anyone? *wub* ) Two sets I REALLY regretted not getting were the Gungan Sub for its awesome hoods :'-( and its awesome parts, and the Sith Infiltrator for its awesomeness. I also miss Cloud City for that owning Boba, and Lando, but I got him in the Sail Barge. I never got any of the unique Cloud City figs, Boba, Leia, Lando, or Luke.

Not buying more 4508 Titan XP creator sets when they were half off at K-mart!! :'-( :'-(

Oh how I regret not getting more of that absolutely excellent parts pack at only 25$. I only got one at that price and another at full price months earlier *sing*

I also regret not getting afew other sets of theirs that they had half off aswell :'-(

[Mofo Jones]

I was undecided on the Dwarves' Mine set and I think I missed my opportunity to get one without having to pay a huge amount of money. :( My local Target still has a bunch of TIE Crawlers though.

Update: Found a Dwarves' Mine this afternoon! *sweet*

Angry Giant Troll ON! X-D

[Mr Spielbrick]

Going through my Dark Ages from January 2003 to October 2007, I missed all the Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire sets. I would've liked Dementors, Buckbeak, Lupin, Sirius, Wormtail, Moody, Krum and Neville... But to buy them now means either picking up the now quite expensive full sets online, or getting the minifigs online - also for a lot of money. Blegh.

[Darth_Legois]

The SW Hoth Snowspeeder for only like $30 AUSD and more recently the Hoth base set now i cant find it anywhere :'-( |-/ *n*

[RupeeClock]

End of June, i saw 7942 (fire pick-up truck) for only 8 euros! But a week later, when i was back there, they were 13 euros again. A missed change to save 5 euros :'-(
