I can't think of any regrettable purchases, maybe (hurm)
I guess when we get duped into buying a figure and then a better one is released
right away?
Siege Megatron -> Netflix Megatron -> Netflix Megatron (again)
ER Cliffjumper -> BWBB SS86 Cliffjumper
ER AutoAlliance Ironhide -> SS86 voyager Ironhide
ER ParadronMedic Ratchet -> SS86 voyager Ratchet
ER Starscream -> SS86 Coronation Starscream
For that matter, maybe when they shoehorn unwanted figures into 2-packs
earthmode Sideswipe! ... and an Airrazor retool
earthmode Mirage! ... and a Dinobot retool
purple fossilizer! ... and another NF Megatron
Actually typing this up, I CAN say I regret the IDW Pax/Shockwave 2-pack, I don't really like either figure - but one could say you had to get em to defeat Amazon's misidentification boondoggle re: the Ratbat/MinerMegs 2-pack
One thing I regret missing out on, is when BBTS clearanced out their GrandMax stock in 2019

Also I guess missing out on Haslab Unicron

Holy sh*t, yes - all the "Evolution" POTP leader molds had issues
OP mold, ya the big bot mode was passable, but lil bot & alt modes suffered - I passed on StarConvoy as a result (the Nemesis one was kinda OK tho)
Roddy mold, lil bot was passable at best (SS86 crushed it tho), big bot & alt modes suffered
Honestly I ended up liking the OpOp mold the best, was fun to play with, and his worst issues could be fixed (surgically removing the lil bot off his back, DNA kits to trick him out, etc)
