(pretty sure this thread hasn't been made before...)
What regrets do you have that are related to collecting? This can either be from missing out on something or second guessing a purchase. This is in the general section but it doesn't matter if Dragonball puchases are discussed.
I'm sure I'll think of a few more but this is all I can remember off the top of my head. Back in 2012 I started my Figuarts collection. I picked up the SS Vegeta and SDCC Gohan first and had a link for an SDCC Goku that was being sold for $55. I figured I had plenty of time to pick it up as it was a fairly obscure site but by the time I was ready to buy it had already been sold. I still think like this and it causes a few problems...I planned on buying the D-Arts Charizard and thought it surely wouldn't sell out for a long time. I cared so little for it that I forgot about it for a year and when I was finally ready to get one the price had jumped to $200.

When you want something, go ahead and buy it!
For me. No contacts in the US, when I wanted to buy a ton of things to Zapp Comics in 2007. Because NOT ship to France.

Haha.. I remember that website. Robottoys or something like that. Yeah I should have bought more than one. At the time, I was on the hunt for the original manga ss goku.
Not buying the zeem oozaru statues I've always wanted.. Now they're a little more.

Not getting SDCC Vegeta after the SDCC. I had to buy it 2 months ago for double of the price it was before.
And of course, not starting collecting earlier.

Remembering seeing Figuarts Trunks, SSJ Vegeta and SDCC Goku for normal retail at BBTS and not jumping on them because I wasn't into collecting back then.

Since this isn't limited to db only, I do have one regret that tops all of mine.
I was going to an auction Friday. I watch the live stream the day before and flipped out! 1988 INDY 500 race car with, original Oldsmobile engine. Sold, $25,000!!! I saw it and almost couldn't stand looking at it. Just to give you an idea, the front nose cone in between the 2 front spoilers cost $20,000. The engine would be an easy $50,000. Basically a quarter million dollar car for a 10th the value, no reserve.
