I try not to hang on to regrets too much but I do have one monster regret. Back around 1999 my Dad lost his job and our family was struggling. It was kinda a weird time I had to take on a lot of responsiblities cause he was hurt and kind thought it was time to grow up. I had a lot of toys that i didn't really care about much anymore and my parents need the money to survive. So I signed up for a table at the toy show and sold all my Masters of the Universe , Transformers, GI Joes and a few odds and Inns. The main thing i regret is selling my Godzilla Shogun figure. I loved that thing and he was in great condition but like i said my family needed the money and I got a good price for him. I also got rid of My Pet Monster collection which I regret some along with my Gre-gory Bat. The thing I miss the Most is my Godzilla I had him since I was 2. Now they are way more than I can afford at most times. Does anyone else have monster regrets like that?

Yea, I got one.  Back in 2007 when I just got off of an overseas deployment and had ended my 10 years in the Army, I was in need of some money to get my feet back up.  So I sold all my Ray Harryhaussen figures, my Hellraiser figures, McFarlane horror toys, and about 30 12 inch horror figures from Sideshow Toys.  Last year I started trying to find the Harryhaussen figures again but they are just so expensive.  I really regret the Hellraiser figures, because now they are going for a lot of money on e-bay.  The 12 inch figures too, just way to expensive to start buying those again.  But looking back, I keep telling myself I had a valid and good reason for selling them, but it doesn't mean I have to like it.
I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity...

One day about 15 years ago i decided to sell all my six million dollar man figures.  Had em all, mint condition, complete. Bionic Bigfoot, maskatron, steve austin, all the different suits and accesories even the rocket station thingy. Even had jamie summers. Dont know why i did it even, just did. funny thing is one of them didnt sell, nobody wanted him.             So Oscar goldman now stands alone proudly by my gi joe morgue. Laughing at me , taunting me, for being an A#1 bonehead.

I feel your pain man. I think of Godzilla often and all the fond memories we had together. :(
