Trypticon was one for me. I wanted him SOOOOO badly for christmas one year and i was super excited cause i saw this massive box in the parents closet. I had a very poor family growing up and to actually get something like him was beyond belief.

I opened it X-mas morning and it turned out to be a Scorponok instead. i was a little beside myself trying to gauge if i should be stoked of not because it totallly wasn't what i was expecting.

After that brief pause, I gave my head a shake and screamed bloody blue murder in excitement.

Still want that Trypticon though.:)

Plenty I've not bought in the past that I now wish I'd bought. it's just one of those things that happens in life I s'pose, but here are a few of my "Kickers"

 

Armada Thundercracker- seen him once and didn't have the cash for him

 

G1 sunstreaker- It was the week beofre xmas one year. Found him in a newsagents for only £7. But my evil mother wouldn't let me buy him :emo

 

Movie 07 Grindcore- Damnit I wanted that figure, but didn't have any funds when he was out

 

Build team in constructicon colours- yet again, no funds when they were around

 

Movie maniacs large alien queen figure with nest diorama- was such a cool set, just didn't have the cash at the time (yet again)

 

And many many more. I feel like crying now...... :emo

Not exactly a toy, or qualifying for this thread as I could get one in a day easily but I kinda want one of those Rey Mysterio masks..

 

Spawn Interlink 6, several times I had seen those in my price range in person but turned em down for transformers, now I can find the transformers I got everywhere online BUT cant find the IL6//

Toys R Us Exclusive RID Scourge (G2 Laser Optimus black repaint).....I remember seeing him saying to myself that looks cool. Then, never saw him again. I didn't get back into collecting Transformers until after that though, when the Hasbro Commemorative re-issues started showing up at TRU, but in hindsight, I wish I would have picked him up. I have the Takara G2 Laser Optimus Reissue, but the black and chrome finish on the RID Scourge figure looks awesome. If only I'd have known.... :tfsad

oOH Scourge, sheesh I had many opportunities to get him but the 2 week deliverytime from the Orient was too long. I have found teh G2 LOP but I just cant begin to consider getting him, it would feel so much like settling for 2'nd best.

Get him if you can. I always wanted this figure, and now would also love to have RID Scourge. The figure is awesome.

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
