During the time you've been collecting...what's the best deal you've ever passed up?
I'd have to say mine would be a complete, mint Night Raven for 8$ at a flea market a few years back. |

Easy. A carded Storm Shadow v1 in a desolate shop in Denmark a few years ago. Had a break collecting Joes at that point. Nasty. I should be in prison for that action.

I have only an "almost passed up" story. I just started collecting with the 25th line (other than a crapload of toys for my kids), so at first I wasn't sure how many I wanted. I had just bought the snake eyes (white Timber) and storm shadow when I saw them at wal-mart. I then went to Kroger and happened to see cobra commander, cobra officer, and snake eyes with black timber -- on sale (buy 2 get 1 free). Because of my uncertainty, I went home to look up some info on them. Luckily for me, I ran right back out and they were still there. I've been a junkie ever since.

I did the same thing... I had stopped collecting since I was a kid. I just happened to be in a TRU back in '99 and saw how strange Destro looked. If only I had a time machine...

Same here. I saw ARAH PDD on shelves and remember saying to a buddy..."WTF is that?!?!?!". What do I really kick myself for passing up? All of the Night Force vehicles MIB, all of the figures (2 packs) still MOC....another buddy would've sold all to me for $100...but I was still in my "smoking" phase...so that $100 was spent on nugget instead. RABBLE! |
