I used to do this to myself all the time. So now I just buy it, then take it home and think about it. If the next day I still want it, I open it. A lot less regret ever since.

That happened to me a few weeks ago. I found 1 White Coat Rex at Meijer. I was all excited had it in hand on the way to the checkout lane. But then started second guessing it. Put it down on a stack of books.
The next morning I woke up and said "yeah I should get that variant." Went back and of course it was not on the stack of books. So I went to the Service Desk hoping that an employee had put it in the Toy Dept return cart. Nope gone. I was so mad at myself that day. 2 weeks went by and went to a different Meijer. Wham! 4 White Coat Rex's. Did not make the same mistake and bought 1/ |

I've passed on things too many times. Every collector does it. You eventually reach the point that if you can afford it you should preorder and buy what you can when it first comes out, because it's better to be pissed when stuff goes on sale than to be pissed when you only have 5x the cost ebay prices as options.

I never pass on the "maybes" anymore. I've been burned with regret too many times. I think I have a slight disorder, where spending 8 bucks for peace of mind beats the "what if," even if it is a crappy figure.

What's "Breakaway"?
Nope. I pick it up if I want it. If I'm "iffy" about it, I'll have made up my mind before I check out and wont' get it. If get home with it, then it means I wanted it. If I put it back, then didn't want it that bad or thought it was too much.
