    Cases where I purchased multiples of the exact same toy:

    - TFTM07 Classic Camaro BB - Broke the automorph on my first one, found another that had the 'fixed' version of the gimmick and picked it up.
    - BW TM Megatron - First one broke at the waist from GPS within two months. Second one is going on well over a decade with no problems.
    - BW TM Terrorsaur - Just love the figure and bought one extra.
    - TFA Arcee - Noticed small cracks developing on the thumbs of the first one I bought. Got a second and keeping it MOSC to open in the event the thumbs break on the first one.
    - RotF Breakaway - One of each colour variation
    - Energon Terrorcons and Omnicons - Purchased 6 Insecticons, 3 Divebombs, 2 Battle Ravage, 2 Command Ravage, 2 Doom-Lock, 2 Cruellock and 2 Skyblast for extra Energon weapons. Have since repainted 1 Insecticon with a G1 colour scheme and sold a couple of the other duplicates.
    - Pretty sure I have multiples of G1 Ravage, Laserbeak and Overkill.
    - Generations Scourge (upcoming) - I plan to buy 4 of these. One will get some extra black and silver paint applications and serve as the 'actual' Scourge, while the remaining three will be Sweeps.

    As far as cases where I have multiple versions of the same mold:

    - Energon Bruticus Maximus tank limb mold (7)
    - Energon Bruticus Maximus helicopter limb mold (6)
    - Energon Superion Maximus A-10 limb mold (5)
    - Energon Superion Maximus fighter jet limb mold (5)
    - Armada Seeker mold (5)
    - I will have 5 versions of the Classics Seeker mold when I get Thrust, 6 when Dirge eventually comes out.
    - Counting the Energon Saber remolds, and subsequent repaints of those, I have 5 versions of the Runway and Sonar molds from the Armada Air Defense Team and 6 versions of the Jetstorm mold.
    - There are a number of figures of which I have 3 or 4 versions, but not listing all of those.

    NEVER!

    Well, apart from TFA Jetfire/Jetstorm. And Robot Heroes stuff, but apart from that I have a strict rule to never buy a mold more than once.

    Because "I had 2" would make this list far too broad...

    For my 6th birthday, I got 4 BW Noctorros. Only kept one.

    More modernly, I've had:
    3 Cybertron Vector Primes (2 white because I also wanted the 2-pack, sold both at different times, bought gray later, traded that towards Botcon Clench)

    Non Transformers, but this wins by far...
    3 MP-B01 King Exkizers. First was for my birthday 2 years ago, sold that because I couldn't find Dragon Kizer, then when I could find it I didn't have money... etc. for at least a year. Got a great deal on a second one in a trade, so I took that and rolled with it. Now that I have money, I didn't waste too much time before I bought Dragon Kizer... Except the only way to get that for decent was with another King Exkizer.

    I have three versions of many BT/Alt/KP molds, but I'm not sure if they count because there were some differences between any trio. I'm not actually sure about the Dodge Ram mold, but my Nemesis Prime got a new head right away to make Trailbreaker so it's certainly not the same as Alt Optimus/KP Convoy now.

    Other than that I only have the mold for Eject, Rewind, and Rosanna in triplicate.

    Of course, my 25th/Modern Era Cobra army is an entirely different story.

    Yeah-get as soon as money allows. He's even taller than the original version too. Du to the legs being longer I think. Car mode is slightly bigger...but it's only noticable when you have him side by side with an older version. Theres some decent comparison shots over in this thread

    I bought Alternator Dead End twice cause the car door of my first one broke. I was planning on returning it back to the store, but never did. Anyone know how a broken Alternator Dead End goes for loose, with the packaging and everything.

    Lets see... i have an awful lot of Constructicons:

    Original Green versions
    Euro G1.5 Yellow non-combining set
    G2 Orange Constructicons

    Although not mould sharing, I also have the Universe Micromaster Constructions and the Universe RiD repaints.

    Soundwave, I have five of.

    Battered, played with version.
    Boxed G1 original
    TFC Reissue
    Hasbro Commemorative reissue (Soundblaster recolour)
    Hasbro 25th Anniversary version.
    As a result, I have loads of Ravage and Laserbeak's, and their mould sharing EH counterparts Garboyle and Howlback.

    I have four Combaticon moulds too!

    G2 'Rave Camoflage'
    RiD Ruination
    RiD Ruination Urban Camo

    Clear Giftset
    Universe Ratchet (X-Brawn redeco)
    Universe Inferno (Prowl redeco)
    Universe Shadowstriker & Roulette (Sideburn retool/redeco)

    Then there's all those sideswipe moulds i have

    G2 Sideswipe
    TFC Sideswipe
    E-Hobby Clampdown
    E-Hobby Deep Cover
    HCS Red Alert

    Then the most obvious ones, the Seekers

    G1 Ramjet

    Encore Skywarp & Thundercracker
    EH Sunstorm

    There's probably some others, but thats all I can think of off the top of my head.

    I've got quite a few repaints. but I usually don't get them unless they're a new character, or a more "character accurate" deco.

    let's see, including minor remolds...

    Classics-Universe:
    Prowl, Smokescreen, Silverstreak
    Starscream, Starscream, Skywarp, Acid Storm, Ramjet
    Grimlock, Overkill
    Mirage, Dragstrip
    Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus
    Ironhide, Ratchet
    Bumblebee, Cliffjumper
    Sideswipe, Sunstreaker
    Leo Prime, Leo Prime

    Animated:
    Jetstorm, Jetfire. They're actually extensive remolds, but they look and transform the same.

    Movie:
    Battle Damaged Concept Camaro Bumblebee, ROTF Bumblebee.
    ROTF Superion, Bruticus - Energon Superion, Bruticus.

    Masterpiece:
    Skywarp, Starscream

    Alternators:
    I've got almost the entire line, thats all I need to say.

    Armada (including their minicons):
    Hot Shot, Powerlinx Hot Shot
    Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp
    Super-Con Prime, Universe Ultra Magnus
    Sideswipe, Treadshot
    Star Saber Minicon team, Energon Saber Minicon team.

    Then for G1:
    Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker.
    Prowl, Smokescreen
    Inferno, Grapple
    Does Optimus Prime / Ultra Magnus count?

    WST:
    Sideswipe, Red Alert
    Starscream, Thrust

    Heroes of Cybertron:
    Megatron, Megatron with Laserbeak
    Starscream, Thundercracker, Coronation Starscream

    probably forgetting some.

    The most probably has to be the Classics Seeker mold.

    4/5x Classics Starscream (extras for repaint/kitbash purposes)
    1x Classics Skywarp
    3x Classics Ramjet
    1x Henkei Ramjet
    1x Gentei Thrust
    1x Gentei Dirge
    1x Generations Thrust (just bought the Generations Wave 1 case from BBTS, was a better deal. Didn't really need thrust, but I'm sure I'll find a use for him)

    Second place goes to the Universe Prowl mold:

    2x Universe Prowl (first had the crappy paint problem, the second I fixed up before it became an issue)
    1x Universe Silverstreak
    1x Universe Smokescreen
    1x Henkei Prowl
    1x Henkei Streak
    1x Henkei Smokescreen (Needed the better Smokescreen, and caved on the other two Henkei so that I'd have a matching set with chromed weapons. Swapped Henkei Streak's weapons onto Universe Silverstreak, though)
    1x BotCon Rapido

    And the Universe Sideswipe/Sunstreaker mold

    1x Universe Sunstreaker
    2x Universe Sideswipe (the first one had problems, so I bought another, and kept the first for fodder)
    1x Henkei Sunstreaker
    1x Henkei Swipe
    1x Henkei Alert (all three Henkei were bought as a lot. Mainly for Alert, but I liked Sunstreaker's chrome)
    I'll probably by a Generations Red Alert, too, for kitbashing purposes.



    Beyond that, I'll have owned three separate iterations of the RiD Car Bros (2x Super, bought the second set to replace my original scuffed-up paint ones. Then I wound up selling most of my collection, and then later replacing them with a set of regulars. I've actually owned 4x X-Brawns/Wildrides, as I bought a Korean Wildride afterwards, for the unmodded head and tail lights), three separate iterations of RiD Prime/Magnus (first set again got sold off, own the second, and recently bought the Car Robots versions. Also own a spare Magnus for kitbashing fodder).

    Also doubled on the Henkei versions of Mirage, Convoy, and the upcoming Hound reissue, so that I'd have a chromed set that matches my other Henkei Autobots, and their weapons that came with the G3 Trailer.

    Anything that is a different character from G1 I will buy, and sometimes (as others have mentioned cyclonus) a couple of them. Back in Movie 1, I made the dumb decision to buy every remold/repaint of deluxe bumblebee. I think I am up to about 15 deluxe BBs MISB (grant it they have now done a few molds), damn grey legs, black legs, cannon arm, battle mask, new head, allspark, etc,etc, etc. I think I am done since they have a couple more in multipacks coming out. It retools/repaints/remolds are done well, I don't mind picking them all up. Oh yea, and 8 Universe Onslaughts since they were on clearance for $3 at Walmart, though I have given away a few of those already.
