    What figures do you regret selling?

    There are a couple of figures I had from my childhood that I have regretted selling. Well, it just happens that I came across my for sale list from 1999 and saw those figures on there. They were a nude Green Goblin I sold for $30 and a Thor with frayed cape for $50. I really wish I had kept those since those for nothing more than sentimental value. Anyway, it got me thinking, what figures have others regretted selling?

    Never sold anything, so no regrets

        I would have to go back to my childhood to answer that- I sold off my entire collection, most still with their boxes, foor $10 a piece back in sixth grade.

        I didn't give Mego much thought until I started collecting as an adult and I have only ever sold doubles.

          My Shindana Slade Doll sold during the first "I must pay for my Logan's Run figure somehow" purge of 2002. I got rid of a lot of stuff then but he's truly at the top of my regrets.

                complete set of MINT and COMPLETE Superman movie 12" (Sups, Jor-El, Zod, Luthor) and Buck Rogers 12". The price was right, but they were the best condition Superman set that I've ever seen.

                When I was a kid, I gave all (Except Boba Fett) of my 12" Star Wars figures to a younger kid in the neighborhood and his mom threw them all in the Goodwill toy bin pretty much right after I gave them to him.

                I really didn't sell many of my childhood toys. I still have all but 4 of my 3 3/4" Star Wars figures (my original Ben and Vader lost their heads, my original C3PO lost his hands and my original Luke was buried in the sand while playing never to be found again )
                Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be.

                    I sold my Wayne Foundation with box back in 1999 on ebay. We needed the money with a baby on the way, but I should have gotten rid on a bunch of other stuff instead of that.
