Actually, I wanted to get the VizBigs (3, 4 & 5) so I could get all the volumes at the cheapest price. It's all right, you don't need to give me vouchers.

About three years ago, I neglected buying a full set of Daizenshu for $80 at a yard sale, because I had the money (it was after my birthday) and instead assumed it'd be a waste since I can't read it.
I bought a SNES for $40 instead.

I regretted not getting Majin Vegeta when I started collecting last year. I made up for it by winning it for mad cheap off of Ebay today so I'm quite happy!
Otaku at heart.
Come visit me and my collection
here!

You passed up a full set of Daizenshuu going for under $100!? .
What the fuck is wrong with you?

Not getting all the Daizenshuu books at Mandarake in Japan. They were all right there on the shelf. Pretty cheap too. But yeah.
Oh, and I also saw this figure in Akihabara:

I regret not getting the Steelbook movies. I wish I had known Cooler's Revenge/Return of Cooler would skyrocket in price. But then again, if they come out with a Dragonbox for the movies, I would regret actually buying the steelbooks. We'll just have to wait and see.

Piccolo JR. Saga Part 2. It was only $10 but my brother changed the Trade-me Password and he wouldn't tell me what it was.

I almost cry every time I go an Amazon and I see the thing for $99.

Which is why he regrets it. Still, he got a SNES. I'd love to get a SNES, and a NES, an N64, Mega Drive, Dreamcast...
I gotta go to Akihabara when I get the money.

The more I think about it, I regret not purchasing the chibi Goku and Piccolo figures when I was at NYCC/NYAF in October. I spent all of my money on 2 DX Figures, movie posters and other things, and I didn't have the $50 needed to get both.
They looked exactly like they did in the manga and DBZ's first ending son.

Back when I was first getting into Dragonball Z there was a store in my mall that sold Japanese imported toys(and in some cases bootlegged VHS tapes) from popular anime. One of the figures they had was the Goku figure where you can change his head so that he could be Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3. I thought about getting the figure because I recognized Goku and his super Saiyan form but because I didn't know what SSj2 and SSj3 was I ended up getting something Pokemon related(which I later lost).
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

At a con, I saw a pretty sweet looking Vegeta cel. It was $120, which wasn't too bad since a lot of nice ones go for $250 and up. At the time, though, I had a long day of con stuff ahead of me, and I didn't want to buy the cel and shove it in my bag for several hours and risk it getting smashed, so I decided to come back to the booth the next day and buy it. Well, just my luck, when I came back it had already sold. Of course, since cels are one-of-a-kind pieces, I doubt I'll ever find the same one again, especially at such a (relatively) low price

I regret not buying that awesome Medios Goku (the "I'm Angry, Freeza" one) while it was still for sale.

At my first convention ever I spotted this
gorgeous Trunks wallscroll for 15 euros. I didn't know that it was a pretty standard price for a wallscroll so I thought it was too expensive. Anyway, the next day when I was home I really regretted not getting it, and I swore that if I saw the wallscroll again I would definitely buy it. Of course, this wallscroll never re-appeared at a con.

I actually bought that last year because . . . well, it's Popo. His head's a bit on the large side. Actually,
he's a bit on the large side.
Once or twice a year, some buddies I used to work with and I go to classic gaming conventions. There's usually at least one vendor there selling Japanese games. About three years ago, the vendor had DBZ Hyper Dimension, which, and I'm not kidding about this, is my second favorite SNES game after Chrono Trigger. I thought about buying it, but decided against it. Then when I changed my mind a half hour later, I went back to discover that the copy was sold.
Thankfully, a couple of conventions later, I did manage to procure a copy. But that doesn't change how frustrated I was that I didn't buy it when I first saw it.
