So there are several toys/prints I'm on the edge of buying but not entirely sure.

Would you rather regret buying something, or not buying something???

I'd much rather buy and regret buying it. You always sell to someone.

regret i think. To not buy you miss out if you do like it and will have to pay more in the future if you wish to get it (unless the value goes down lol)

Like said. if you dont like it you could sell it off or trade it for something you do like

I've never regretted buying something, but I have a long list of things I passed on when I first started collecting that I wish I could get another shot at.

I've bought many things in the past I regret buying but no where near to the extent I regret not buying. Example, when I first saw ThreeA's toys for the first time was after I believe it was the 2009 SDCC, got a sideshow giftcard and combed their site, found the sweet Mk2 Berties, decided I wanted one and after much debate decided on Dirty Deeds, tried to buy it only to discover the card was limited to certain items. So I didn't end up getting him because I'd felt I'd spent a lot already with what I got at con. I kick myself everytime one pops up because I know I could have had one for less then $50 and now they are over one hundred when they do pop up(I bid on one recently on ebay and he went for over $200). I seriously wish I had bought one when I had the chance. :'( The Dirty Deeds Mk2 is now my grail, if ever I get the chance to get him for a price I can justify to myself I will in a heart beat.

Long story short better to regret buying imo then regret not buying.

To tell the truth, I regret not snowing about this beautiful art before I satrted buying. I have some regrets but mostly on not buying because I have bought other things. Sorry for talking in circles.

I would rather regret buying then regret not buying.

I purchased the White Surpreme NOM from the previous 3AA drop, I don't regret buying it because it might actually be pretty cool. If not, meh, oh well at least I got to see it for myself, instead of me seeing it on the boards about how awesome it really is in person and paying crazy flipper prices for it in the long run.

I'd rather regret buying, I've always just sold pieces I didn't end up liking. But the pieces I thought about for a second too long and missed out on, still bum me out

If its a massively hyped piece or highly limited, buy now, think later, if the hype is low or edition is large, skip it and see!

Most non-hyped stuff floats around at or below retail.
