[QUOTE="Starrider, post: 465692, member: 9399"] Too many regrets to mention all caused by that usual thing of a total lack of foresight and thinking stuff will be around forever. Being out of Star Wars in the late 80's/early 90's when stuff was being virtually given away, concentrating too much of my energies on collecting new Hasbro stuff in the nineties when I could have probably assembled a complete vintage Kenner collection for a fraction of what it would cost now, not taking advantage of ebay when prices on a lot of older items were dirt cheap in the mid 2000's. Not keeping certain items for my collection that came through my shop as I thought there would be other chances, a mint blue Snaggletooth comes to mind. Having silly perfectionist ideas of a vintage collection such as having the original release US boxes, meaning I passed or sold on other versions which would have at least meant I had an example of the toy. While I have little to regret not buying from the nineties to the present as I have bought a good majority of it, I am starting to come to the conclusion that I have probably now left it too late to complete my vintage collection.
