Next time, keep it. :)
Wow - I don't think I could ever refuse a TF (or any present for that matter) if it was a gift. I guess it depends on your relationship, but I am extremely grateful when anyone (especially my gf) goes out of their way to buy me something. Even if I don't really want it, I just smile and say "Thankyou".
Just my opinion tho! :)
yeah, should have kept it, STL...
I believed your missus did it out of thoughtfulness (it wasn't because you don't have it)... I know for one thing, she would still be feeling hurt (if anything) about someone special rejecting her gift~
mate, I would give anything up if my missus buys me TF (even if it is from my own money)
Ive received a few doubles as gifts, I either put the spare one on the shelf, and put the one I already owned in my "to repaint" box, or if I have a reciept lying around from a similar size class purchase I may return it and swap it without telling the person I got it from.
My gf has also bought me figures that I already owned (some that she had bought me) that when she realised I already had it, returned it and got me different ones, all on her own accord, but she's great with stuff like that.
If only they could scout Ebay for G1s too... ;)
When it comes to things like this, especially with your missus, you have to take it.
She was expecting you to be over the moon. I mean, I am assuming she knows you'd prefer a Transformer over cloths, so she's done something really nice and got you a Transformer. Even though the price wasn't a good one, how much you save getting it else where? What 5, 8 bucks? It is also her money, so you aren't spending anything, you've saved 27, gotten a Transformer, and most importantly, made her happy by the excitement/joy you get from her gift. It is a Win, Win, Win situation.
I don't think it was a good idea, women can hold onto ammo for a VERY long time, tread carefully...
COUNTER GIFT! Get her something, reinforce the thought she put into it.
I never turn down a gift. If it's something I honestly don't want I might recycle it as a gift... just gotta be careful not to "tip the butcher back." :p But honestly I rarely recycle gifts. When it comes to TFs if I get doubles then I'll keep the double. Might use it in a trade or sale.
I sometimes receive random TF stuff from my work colleagues - so far I've received a TF movie Optimus bubble bath, Energon lunch box and movie TF stickers! :D
