Just curious who buys doubles of any figures.I usually don't, but with Target putting all the ROTF on clearance,I'm considering picking up a couple of the cooler figures.I found a Mindwipe on clearance for $10.98 and am trying to justify buying another one for no reason other than it's a good deal and he's one of the best voyagers.
The only time I normally buy doubles is my Starscreams. I get an extra to keep MISB. Any other time I have to have a plan for the extra (bashing or trading).
I would if I had the space. Would be cool to display one in alt-mode and one in robot mode. Or one MISB and one in the open.
Depends....if they are the cool ones....sometimes it hard to pass up a fig for a couple of bucks I always try to paint them a different colors.....
As far as TFs go, I don't even have any repaints. The only exceptions are Energon Kickback/Blight and Blackout/Stormcloud (but I don't really count that because they're part of a set), and TM2 Prowl (because he's an owl and a really good toy to boot). However, outside of TFs, I have 2 Commando Droids from Star Wars (bought on the same day actually), and I plan on getting more.
Only when I find a reason to. Like replacing a broken one that's too broken, or getting parts for a custom, or at the most, getting another cause it's too bad ass, XD BB28
I have not as of yet and it would take an awesome figure for me to want two of them , not counting repaints of course.
got an extra recon ironhide for the guns...also bought 4 brawn TF's along with ROTF landmines....got them set up like a sector 7 mini convoy going on.
Rarely. I only get doubles of toys that break. Or just molds I love. Like Classics Cyclonus. And I got the Botcon Sharkticon 3 pack. Sometimes great deals are hard to pass by so I'll get doubles to use as trade bait later on.
I have bought a few of my favorites in doubles. However, I have kept to only deluxes and leaders so far. Keeping my OP Leaderclass MISB collection going.
I don't normally buy doubles. I don't often keep any in the box and displayed in box, unless they are real special. Transformers are meant to be played with in most occasions for me. I sometimes buy doubles for repaint reasons. For instance, ROTF Rampage. I repainted one red(before knowing of the repaint coming out), technically 3 if you count the one I used to make Scrapper. ROTF Sideswipe, I bought multiples for repaints as well. I did buy two ROTF Skystalkers for entertainment, as well as multiple ROTF Legends Ravage. Those are more for my comic though. So, in the long run, only double it up, if I plan on customize/repaints.
Very rarely. I'll usually only buy doubles if it's an absolute favorite figure (Transmetal Terrorsaur), the one I had broke (BW TM Megatron) or if I suspect the one I have might break in the future and I want a spare (TFA Arcee). I bought troop-builders once with the Energon Terrorcons, and may do so again when Generations Scourge comes out. Other than that, I think the only doubles I have are Energon Barricade, as I needed an extra combiner torso for some extra E-combiner limbs, and both variants of RotF Breakaway.
Typically no. Unless I may have some bashing purpose for the figure, or I'm buying the figure for a local in need.
for the most part no.. the only doubles i have bought (other than some repaints) are the human alliance figs...i like 2 have 2 of each......1 for alt mode adn 1 for bot mode....now if i could just get my hands on 2 jazz..i would be set
Not as a rule. I do buy repaints though. All of my current doubles are the result of buying lots and not having sold them off yet. I can envision buying two scourges or three reflectors down the road, but that is fiction driven. I also have an extra TM Megs since he is notorious for breaking. I don't get doubles to display in different modes or keep misb. No desire, nor could I afford to.
