Breakaway is a Transformer from the Revenge of the Fallen line. He looks .. really stupid, but the thing is, the more I see pictures of him the more he grows on me hahah. His alt mode looks good tho. This is where it happens to me the most. I see something and not even care about it. After some time I think, "Hmm maybe I do want it after all" but by then it's too late. Happened once when I saw a loose Resolute Trooper (5-Pack). Didn't care when I saw him. Week later suddenly wanted him. Remembered he was there. Went back. Gone.

I don't second guess myself. I don't even first guess (What?), I just do stuff and stuff happens.

I call it "not" buyer's remorse.

Back in 07, the Monday after SDCC, I was waiting for them to put out the Alternators Hot Rod but they had already put the PDDs up. I was pretty intent on getting Hot Rod as I had missed out on Alternators Nemesis Prime the year before. I had plenty of time to get multiple golds and silvers, but I wasn't into 25th yet so I didn't bother to pick them up. I had them both in my cart at one point too, but I took them out as I didn't want to spend an extra $20 for something I wasn't into. That's my biggest regret right there.
My wife makes me get stuff now if she thinks I'll regret it later. She's actually got a good sense for that. That sums it up nicely! |

A couple years back when I was hardcore into buying and selling on Ebay I passed on two or three Flaggs because I just couldn't justify the money. Now that I am looking back I kick myself for not picking one up when I had the disposable income I had back then.
Oh well - might have to tend bar just to resume my collecting. |

I'm at the point where if there i the slightest doubt in my head, I pass. There's just way too much product out there to get everything. I would recommend you do the same.

The threat of "not" buyer's remorse has spurred many a purchase.

My wife picked up a Wii for me for Christmas last Friday, when Walmart had the "buy a Wii, get a $50 gift card free" deal. I felt guilty about it cuz the money could have been used for something/ someone else. I considered returning it and she said I could if I wanted. I knew that her grandparents were sending us some Christmas money but I didn't know when. I waited one more day and the money came in the mail... $2,500!!! So, if I had returned the Wii when I originally planned to, I would have lost out on a free $50 gift card. The deal for the $50 card ended the day before the money came.
Definitely one of my better "wait and see what happens" decisions. |

If I miss out out on something, I just say to myself "you'll get another chance to buy toys. Don't worry little buddy".
It's about this time that I realize I'm curled up in a little ball in the toy aisle of Wal-Mart. I then go home and really start crying!
