An MR TOS phaser. For what they cost they are poorly made.
I have a new appreciation for my DS/AA TOS phaser.
On the other hand...
The MR TOS Klingon disruptor is very nice.

I was offered $120 for a fiberglassed plain jane ODST helmet from Halo 2 back when pep was young and people didn't do a whole lot of building themselves.
I turned it down.
Only sold the finished and beautiful helmet for $80 with molding rights about a year later. Pretty much just materials cost when you included the electronics and the visor.

Very few I regret but a couple (especially the MR .45 minis) that I wonder why I spent so much time looking for them for "completeness" sake. The two biggest off the top of my head were the 1st release blue tray Luke ROTJ and the 1st release Obi-Wan weathered .45s. I have more regrets for things I didn't buy! =)
My biggest mistake was giving my money to Icons for an MIB neuralyzer that I never saw... :angry

Hmmm...
I guess this story kind of falls into this category-
In 2003 I went through a Matrix toy phase. Bought the deluxe APU, deluxe Sentinel, and 4 figures. The deluxe sets were about $35 bucks each, and the figures $10 each.
Had a nice little set up on a bookcase in my basement-
(I kept the APU in the box.)
I liked it for a while. But maybe a year later the novelty had faded... And my wife constantly complained that the Sentinel made her think the wiring was falling out of the ceiling. :lol
So I sold all of it on ebay. Got more or less what I paid for them. No loss. Cool.
Until in 2009 I went through that phase all over again. :rolleyes
I had to have all of them back! Except they were now rare and expensive on ebay. I think I spent over $250 buying the APU and Sentinal, and the entire set of 11 figures.
The whole time I was kicking myself thinking "YOU HAD ALL OF THESE ALREADY! YOU IDIOT!" :cry

The MR classic comm. I really grew to hate that fat bottomed communicator. Finally sold it off a year or so ago.

X-Men Cyclops Replica Sunglasses. They don't fit at all! I thought the packaging was nice.
Anyone know what they are worth?

Probably our screen used spartan. Didn't really purchase it as an investment, but after seeing prices fall pretty drastically, I can't help but be a little bummed that if we decided to sell it, it would be at a considerable loss. That is what you get for buying something when it is hot...
I Find myself buying alot of useless props from movies I really never liked to begin with.All in all most of the props I buy are on impulse and then I look back at it and say "What in gods name am I gonna do with this now :lol.The prop at the time was just too cool to pass up I guess.So to answer your qustion brad about 95% of my prop buying is a mistake unless it's BTTF and Dexter for the most part and I'm just plain nuts to begin with and have a prop problem :lol
This had me dying:lol I can see the T-Shirt: "I have a prop problem" with the RPF logo above it.
I would soooo buy that shirt in a heartbeat:love WAIT... I don't even like Therpf :confused Oh hell with it if the shirt looks good I'm in :lol
