Zoom from Arkham. I traded to get mine, but with the amount of that set I bought I should have pulled at least one. I pulled two Lamppost Batmans, but no Zoom. Seriously, it was kind of irritating.
Eventually a friend got me the CoV MMO set (with the figs!) for Xmas when those turned up in bulk clearence there the other year. Never have plugged the discs in....
You should! If you choose Captain Mako's faction in City of Villains you get the power to throw sharks at people.

I lost my extra HoT Captain America to a scammer a couple weeks ago, and I have a bit of a complex about it as well. Especially now that I'm seeing how many non-####ty people want or need it.

This thread is interesting, because it would seem I've let a lot of sought-after figures slip through my fingers. I used to have like half-a-dozen OoTS Batmen, but I sold them, along with all my other duplicate figures, in a big lot on eBay to raise some Christmas money back in November.
-------
I think the figure that's driven me the craziest is Multiple Man. I bought quite a few packs of Sinister when it came out, and a brick just recently, and have never even gotten one of them. In fact, the only version of Madrox I have in my entire 'clix collection is a single copy of the bystander pog. And folks on eBay charge like 5 bucks for the Rookie, let alone the E, V, LE, etc.
In my opinion, it's most frustrating when the generic/lackey/troop-builder figures are the hard ones to get. In the early days they were easy to come by, and Hammer of Thor/Brave & The Bold have done a good job (in my opinion) of making armies of ninjas and Parademons easy to come by again. But there were a few sets in the middle where the generics were harder to get than the Uniques (No joke, I pre-ordered a case of Collateral Damage, and got doubles of most of the Uniques... but only one Veteran OMAC.)! Getting Skrulls from Supernova is like pulling teeth. Ditto for the SHIELD and HYDRA figures from Sinister.
-------
However, Brave and the Bold was good to me. I bought exactly one brick, and got almost an entire C/U/R set, a whole mess of Checkmate and Parademon REVs, and all of the SRs that I happened to want. I didn't pull a chase figure, but it was otherwise the perfect Heroclix brick... so perhaps the days of banging our heads against the walls over certain figures are over.
Wow, this post was really long. Sorry, I just drank a bunch of coffee.
Oh man, we got a Negative Man and a Jimmy Olsen? Now I need to think of a new signature after all these years!
I have not been able to get a hold of a Vet Iron Man from Armor Wars.
Must have him but I don't have a lot to trade and i wont pay what people want for him.... Real problem.
Who is the more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows him?

The General. He's one of those figs I've always wanted, but never really seized an opportunity to get him. Except for one time, when a trade fell through.
Longest-Reigning Drunken HeroClix Champion - anyone got a liver?
V Hawkeye (Ult) or LE Clint Barton. Either one will work, I just can't get a hold of them. Every time I start to, the trade goes south, or I get outbid on ebay, etc. etc.
Veteran Captain America and his buddy Veteran Iron Man from Armor Wars were probably the hardest.
I agree with this. Last year I got a deal on 2 bricks of AW, $30 ea. I still haven't pulled either one out of 4 bricks total. I can completely do without the Iron Man now, but I'd like to have the Cap.
After reading this thread, I feel very lucky to have 4 chases and 99% of the figures that people are asking for in here. But for myself, all I really want is the Crisis Sinestro. :/
Currently, its V AW Captain America. I just can't bring myself to pay the going price for the figure even though he's one of my favorite characters and actually a great piece.
Previously, until I finally acquired him, was the V IC Boomerang. Sadly, even after all that work I don't think I've ever used him.
OK, you suck. My wife is going to kill me now. $70 gone to Troll and Toad to fill my needs....needs I tell ya!!
Ha! I've only been playing a few months so I spent a lot of cash there filling out my collection. (I did find that their shipping for individual figs sucks compared to gamingetc.com though).
