None of the Peaches and Petals boxes have been reviewed and it seems to be growing in popularity.

I missed out on the first Pusheen box and I also missed out on the first Guardians of the Galaxy box that Collector Corps did and those are the only two boxes I really regret missing.

I’ve missed out on every RV box. I keep watching the reviews and I want to sub so badly but I would need to cut back on the multiple subs I already have. There’s only so much $ you can justify spending on subs each month. I also love Net et Porter LE boxes and hate to miss out on them.

There are 2. Gentleman’s Box Spring Duffle Bag Box & PopSugar’s LE Men’s Holiday Box from 2015. 😭😤😱
I am a sucker for anything w/a bag attached to it & it’s so rare for Men’s bags to get featured in boxes. I thought, “Oh it’ll be available next week I’m sure. ” 😡😯😲
Never again I tell you!

Nina Garcia and Adidas Avenue A. All of them, but I especially feel l missed out on the Lagerfeld bag in the most recent Nina Garcia. I wouldn’t even care what color – all the variations I saw looked great. I pretty much like every color except blue.

I dithered about Landfall Freight because of international postage, and then I found out they’d closed!
And then there was that Zavvi special Lego box – by the time I heard about it signups were already closed. I hope someone reviews it here!

The SugarBash Limited Edition Box – I know it’s available for purchase at $80, but I read that if you were a current subscriber it came as your April box for $40. What a steal!

2015’s Popsugar LE men’s box, although I was pretty happy with this 2016’s (well, my guy was).
I’ve mostly gotten what I wanted, and the things I’ve missed are apparently forgettable LOL there are more that I regret buying than regret not buying, for sure.

The first Adidas box.

Revive and Serendipity, two subs that folded abruptly and made off with my money. I missed out on one shipment from Revive and two from Serendipity and my bank hasn’t helped at all.
But I know that’s not your real question. I have pined over Skandicrush, the first Popsugar Target LE and the infamous Allure box with the Foreo Play.

The Popsugar LE Resort 2017, I didn’t know about it and I love that whole box most especially the pillow. I live in Florida and am always at the beach and yes I lug my big pillow with me 😂

I’m fairly new to subscription boxes so there have been a lot of past boxes I’ve seen that were awesome but I wish I would have joined FabFitFun sooner. I joined in time for the spring box this year and am completely looking forward to the summer box but I wish I would have been subscribed since their first box.

I feel like I’m missing out every time I see an Adidas Avenue A review. But I just never bite the bullet and make that $150 every 3 month commitment. I should…

Couldn’t agree more on this – I found out about it and it was too late to sign up.
Another one I missed was Rachel Zoe’s Box of Style Fall 2016 – that’s the one that hooked me. I asked for it as a christmas gift and by the time my mom ordered, they moved on to the winter box. I’ve loved every single box from her.
If anyone has a whole fall 2016 BOS for sale.. let me know.

Some of the recent PopSugar boxes look pretty good. I don’t sub though because they are such a complete mystery.
Seems like a lot of the boxes were waaay better when they first started…so I guess the key is to sub when a company is first starting out then bail later on when they start going through growing pains. Lol. From what I understand the current iteration of Birchbox and Glossybox (I sub to both) are not as good as from a few years back. So while I technically get them each month, I “missed” getting them when they were actually great.

All of the Burke Boxes and Linen Crate. Linen Crate was seriously my ideal subscription box, so I’m really sad I missed it when it was around!
