Two with the same story. Holographic Darth Maul and Biggs Darklighter. both were around $80-90 on eBay a couple years ago and I kept telling myself it was too much. Now I don't see them for under $400. So bitter at myself for not pulling the trigger as they are the only two I need to complete the Star Wars Collection.

Welp... I think I can personally put Unmasked Jason as one that got away for me now. Had him in my cart on both Popcultcha and Forbidden Planet, but the page kept crashing before I could checkout and I missed. Totally missed him on Gemini while I was visiting my Mom in the hospital and my Dad in the physical rehab center (after he was in the hospital for a week). I don't hold out much hope that I'd be able to snag him on Fugitive if they happen to have him at some point. Definitely know I won't ever be able to afford eBay prices. So, looks like I won't be getting him afterall. Kinda sucks. He was one of only two SDCC Pop!s that I really wanted. Hopefully I can find a Cheesy Skipper somewhere at a decent price.

Might be silly but Bizarro, I had ample opportunities to get him and never did. Now he's nowhere to be found and I really don't want to pay $20+ for him

I missed out metallic shazam, aquaman, green arrow & hawkman at retail from gemini when I first started collecting. I was out of the country and told myself "meh, i'll just buy it when I get back". Unfortunately they were already out of stock! On the brighter side, I only paid for it twice as much as the retail price, which is still a good price compared to how much they are now. Since then, I buy the pop I like without second thoughts.

Missed out on the simpsons, Red Skull, Thing, Riddler, and Penguin when they were out. I was thinking about buying Riddler because they looked very cute but the 14.99 price turned me away.
I'm the collector Gotham deserves. (but also the one it needs right now)

Ditto...I remember I used to let my son play with all the POPs. I had all of the DC line except the chases and metallics, because I knew he would tear them up. I remember once having the 4 Gemini ones in my cart, and my card failed or something. I remember thinking..oh well...I already have the regulars.
