    I was semi-obsessive about some Alternator/BT moulds, in fact I've got every Alternator at least once.

    Here are the worst offenders:

    Of the Meister mould I have red, white, and silver BT Meister, BT Laserwave, Alt Shockblast, and 2 of Alt Meister.

    Of the Mirage mould I have two of Alt Mirage, two of Alt Rodimus, KP Rodimus, and BT Rijie.

    Of the Prime mould (which I'm indifferent to) I have Alt Prime, 2 of Alt Nemesis Prime, BT Convoy, and BT Black Convoy.

    As far as the same figure, that's happened quite a few times for me as well. :)

    i am safely lacking the OCD needed to own more than 2 of a mold.
    but i admit i really like some molds enough that army building with them isn't such a silly notion.

    i still would love to hang a good half dozen Ransacks and a half dozen Divebombs from the ceiling in a WWI dogfight display.

    Once.

    My only duplicate molds are Rumble and Frenzy from Encore 19.

    I guess I like variety! Also, never been attached enough to any of the G1 legacy redecos (i.e. Seekers, Prowl and friends, Sideswipe and friends) to want them all. I will finally pick up more Classics Seekers with Thrust and Dirge though.

    I bought all of the variations of Deluxe Barricade -- Original, Premium, Recon, All-Spark Power, and Interrogator. If they come out with any more Deluxe Barricade figures in the Movie toy lines, then you can bet that I will buy them. :p 

    Plus there's a number of Classics figures of the same mold that I've bought, as well as Landmine and Armorhide from the Movie toy lines, the Alternator Jeep mold -- Hound, Rollbar, Swindle, and now a custom Alternators of my fan character Wildfrost -- and the Soundwaves, Shockwaves, and Seekers from the Animated line.

    So... I got quite a number of toys of the same exact mold in my collection, but as a rule I only buy the repaints/retools of characters that share the same mold as well as the repaints/retools that are too cool to pass up.

    I have Legends Sunstorms 6.

    I bought sold and rebought Alernators Sideswipe and Bluestreak several several times.

    Rebought Universe Brawl once.

    I have mold multiples, but that isn't the same toy since it's technically a repaint.

    G1 Primes...hmm...1 original, 1 G2, 2 New Year's Convoy, 2 TRU reissues, 1 TFC #0, 2 25th anniversary...1 Pepsi Convoy, 2 Pepsi Optimus Prime, 1 Black Optimus "reissue"...that's 12 or 13 if you count the "reissue". Add in 3 Magnuses (1 vintage, 1 Japanese reissue, 1 TRU reissue) and that goes to 16...I know some folk have more than that, though. Many many more...
    10 Ejectors...I love that little bastard.
    7 G1 seekers, though none are vintage and only 3 of them are Starscream (although they're all different).
    5 RoTF Primes (2 regular retail, 1 Buster, 1 Black, and 1 Birthmark Battle Damage).
    5 Burning Fallens ... a couple of them will go out as Xmas or birthday gifts
    5 or 6 of the TFTM voyager Prime...2 Robovision, 1 Battle damage, 1 regular, 1 First Strike...on the fence about the last two since I'm less enchanted with the mold than I was 2 or 3 years ago
    Concept Camaro Bees...2 original, 1 Battle Damaged, 1 Premium, 1 Stealth Bee, 1 Cannon, 2 from the NEST 2 pack, 1 Allspark Blue...guess that's 9.
    Yep, I'm a sucker.

    I accidentally bought Alternators Mirage twice in the old "buy online and it hits stores the next day" thing. I bought the one in the store and gave the extra when it arrived to my sister's boyfriend, who's also a fan.

    Highest count = Classics Mirage x3, Botcon Clear Mirage, Henkei Mirage, electro ligier, dragstrip x2, fracture x2 = 10 of that mold...damn...

    But with my latest army binge, I got a TON of Energon Sharkticon molds quick, 2 energon, 2 gnaw repaints, and skybyte, which makes 5, 4 of which I got in the past 2 weeks.

    Several times.

    I've bought two MIB Liokaisers, two MISB Deszaras, 2 Victory Saber combos and a gift set, all the CHUG seekers. Some I had to re-buy after selling them, others I bought doubles to keep one MISB until the one used for display go kaputz.
