^Yeah, that was why I missed some lines. I was collecting MOTU, Super Powers, and Sectaurs while in high school and it was $$$.

I don't have a lot of regrets in collecting, though I do miss some things I impulsively sold, like MOTU. But there are some favorites I wish I had collected, that seem really appealing to me now. My top 3:
* Crystar. I liked these as a kid but never bought any.
*Indiana Jones. So well-made.
* Dungeons and Dragons. But I wanted the cartoon characters, too.
What did you miss collecting?
There may have been other 1980's toy lines that I missed, I'll have to think on it.
One toy line that I just remembered, that I missed out on buying, are the super deformed Robotech Veritech Fighters. They had a bunch of them on the discount wall at Montgomery Wards.Comment

I wish I had got the Marvel Secret Wars figures. I was still in the mindset that I was too old for toys when they came out.Comment

That's the way I was from about 1983 until Batman came out in 89. I missed out on a lot and didn't know a lot of them existed until much later. I do wish I had full sets of Battlestar Galactica, Mattel Flash Gordon and Mego Buck Rogers figures now. Think I only bought Flash and Buck back in the day, and can't seem to score a carded Buck now to save my life.Comment

I dabbled in many of the lines mentioned and did collect Indiana Jones, MOTU, D&D and a few others but other than IJ I sold all of it off years agoComment

Oooh, I forgot about Flash Gordon. I got Flash and Lion Man once for Easter. Wish I'd gotten all of those, because they're beautiful figures.Comment

There was lots of cool Heman knockoffs I wish I had collected. I was always saving up for an actual MOTU figure though.
One line I wish I had paid more attention to and collected was Thundercats. I'm enjoying the little Loyal Subjects figure being released right now and it's making me want to get the original Cartoon collection.Comment
