    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

    (puts hand up sheepishly)

    Usually it is insignificant items though, like gimmick stuff that isn't worth remembering.

    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
