It's happened to me with a few smaller figures (below deluxe) where I've not really cared too much about the character, seen the figure in the shop a few months later and can't remember if I have the blasted thing or not. Never ended up buying a second of a toy by accident but do have quite a few double ups on comics

My local comic place usually stock piles the comics I buy till it gets to a certain point, so I'm dropping like $200 at a time on comics every 3 months or so. The hard part is that I actually keep up with the comics I read by downloading them, so when it's time to buy them they're pretty much bagged and boarded straight away, put into the comic boxes. I have a few gaps in my collection because of this, and it frustrates me, lol.
Bigger problem is remembering where they all are! I just repacked my 84-85 box (no room to display) as I had it out to fix a broken sludge recently.... Barrage and Thrust have gone walk abouts!
But that said.... There was a second Brawn in there.... When he he'll did I get a second brawn?
The only time I have messed up so far is not remembering what I have ordered. I purchased MP Acidstorm from Robotkingdom but I had a pre-order in the list so I wasn't going to receive it for about 3 months. In the meantime I forgot I ordered it and ended up getting one off eBay.
It took a few weeks before I realised I had already ordered it. RK were pretty good about it and simply cancelled that part of my order and refunded the money. I have a spreadsheet now I use to track what I have ordered so this doesn't happen again![]()
