Off the top of my head, my brother and I used to rent NES games, take the label off, and swap them for games we owned and hated or finished. People would rent those games and have no idea what they were getting because of us.

When I was a teenager (in the '90s) I was going through this weird RPG phase where that's all I wanted to play. I missed out on a lot of great games of the time because of this. I've tried to go back and play some of them now, but gameplay-wise they are just really dated now and hard to get into. I kinda wish I had played them at the time, when they were new and fresh and everyone was talking about them.

To be honest, you and your brother were not the only ones to play with labels. This doesn't involve games, but my cousin and I were once stealing price tags in a grocery store when we were kids, and we didn't even get anything from it. We had literally no reason to do so, yet the workers there probably had to deal with some consequences after what we did.

So you and your brother are the evil duo  responsable for single handedly ruining my nes childhood and giving me a phobia, where I can no longer rent anything,so I now live in a world where I have other people rent homes for me. only to be kicked out because I can't pay the rent.

Don't blame us. Blame Nintendo for charging little kids $50 for games and making us want them so bad.

I imagine you guys are sick of hearing about me wanting new video game action figures, but this is a figure of Dr. Robotnik I regret not getting or even knowing about before.

It's perfectly in scale with the Jakks Pacific Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Shadow figures.

I can get why you regret not buying it, it really looks cool!

Not getting a PS2, PS3, or PS Vita. Heck, probably throw the PSP in there too. I don't regret waiting until 2015 to open a Steam account, because any computer I had before then was quite the potato.
I also wish I played games more as a kid and teen and branched out more. But I suppose I was less skilled and patient than I am right now.

Regret not finishing chrono cross and Final Fantasy IX. I remember i was very far on FFIX, and then my PS broke, never cameback to fish the game. Also regreat no playing some classics, like EarthBound on Snes and Breath of Fire IV on PS, I spend too much time playing pokemon, i mean... i was by far the best pokemon player among my friends and it was fun to rub it at their faces... but damn, i lost some great classics.

The only real problem with is the lack of articulation and limbs being in fixed poses. Other than that it's just what I need for my video game figures display.

I actually prefer figures that aren't articulated, to be honest (as long as they have cool poses), but it's true that they're not too versatile. If it wasn't for the money, I would've probably started a collection of them years ago - guess I could say I regret not doing it.
