I was re-setting up my display shelf after moving home, and this crossed my mind, so i thought it might make an interesting discussion

When i started collecting again, i couldn't justify even a single repaint - why buy a toy i've already got when i could get a new one? I held fast for a while, until i picked up Classics Ramjet to fight alongside my Classics Starscream. As time's gone on, i have become more lax - i have 2 of each Alternity mold as they're my favourite line and i think they display best with car beside robot. I have Henkei Thrust & Dirge now, making 4x of the classic seekers mold. I also have ROTF Leader & his fancier Buster Prime repaint - as it's one of my favourite toys.

I try and avoid doubling up wherever i can, and a few times i've sold on my double after deciding which one i really prefer. I think, as long as the toy is exceptional, i can bring myself to buy a repaint... but afterwards, i still feel some buyers remorse looking at the same toy on my shelf.

So vote in the poll - just how many times could you bring yourself to buy the same toy if variants existed?

And, tell everyone the toy(s) you have the most of and how or why you can justify it.
