Ever bought a Pop! you already own?

[Elewitt2022]

I knew it would happen eventually !

I just bought a pop on ebay that I already own!

I didn't remember until I went to add it to "My Collection" on the Funko app and the little crown was already blue

Tell me I am not alone, please!

[fbingha]

YES I have done this.

[Elewitt2022]

YES I have done this.

"Air Hug"

[emzben25]

Whenever I do something like this, I think "I must really like that Pop! to buy it twice."

[supertoygiant]

It happens to me a lot. Most of the time, I just place it into the donation box...

[mongoose12]

I’ve been gifted pops I own plenty of times. I usually smile and just say thank you. I’m sure I’ve also bought something I already owned but I don’t think it’s happened recently.

[Universal_ghost]

Have done this before

[bigant212]

Pretty much, I always forget what I have and end up buying the same pop over again. Oh well just hold on to it until I can trade it or give it as a gift

[akagalar]

Yes. Especially when I am trying to get one to get signed.

[scullysdad]

Accidentally? Not that I remember, but I have on purpose a few times. I have gotten a few for box upgrades or an extra to be signed.

Yeah specially a favorite character

*raises hand*
Guilty.

My husband was complete on the Dragonball line for the first 5 years or so. I used to be pretty good about knowing what I had bought and what I hadn't, but when there were suddenly chases, and variants, and different Kame-hame-has, etc I started losing track and brought a few extras home. Oh well!

[kekamahele76]

I’m definitely guilty of this many times over.

[DG_FunkPoppa]

yup! This happened to me! I quickly took inventory on the funko app. Now I check the app every time before I make s purchase.

[jcrook]

Yes, and I have done this more than once. I have some stacked up and back in a book case and forget what’s behind the front ones.

[yasowat]

Not recently, but back in the day when I was going ham I definitely had that happen .

[Kito87]

Multiple times sadly.
Only once was it on purpose. I had an OOB Spike from Cowboy Bebop and was lucky enough to get another for $12 before he eventually shot up in price.

That's happened to me a couple times. Mostly with pre-orders and/or restocks/ It's easy to lose track of. Once we started cataloging pickups in the ppg account pretty much right away, Ihaven't made that mistake since.

[MPF223]

Plenty of times and I just bought another captain spaulding and rick o connell pop lo

Constantly, but since I'm semi quitting thankfully not as often anymore!

[lavery01]

It’s happened a few times between me and my husband. Now I’m just mindful enough to let him know when I buy pops. And he’s been really good about keeping a log.

[FunkoBurro3]

Yea! This has happened to me multiple
Times with commons. This is why I use the funko app to help when buying pops!

[Justuravgnerd]

I've done this at least twice. . Luckily they were both inexpensive common pops that I ended up just giving away

[Mjacob78]

Guilty . Its so hard to keep track when im bad about keeping my list updated.

[theraven00]

I've had this happen with Soda presales, where I forget I had one on order with another site. Almost had it happen recently with a Star Wars Pop! that I forgot I already had, too.

[a99kitten]

I have done more times that I care to admit - just did it at SDCC as a matter of fact. I saw the Anakin I needed and then saw a Sabine and was pretty sure it was the same I had but since I bought the Rebels POPs so long again - I worried it was 1 I missed so bought her...turns out again. But that's OK. Now maybe I'll start a boxed set of Rebels LoL (look what I did to myself!)

[DarkSonic]

Yep luckily I have a two year old who likes toys!

I got two claptrap’s and didn’t realise I had one in transit already I even checked photos!

Not just pops I do it with games too!

[hpellot]

Yes I have done that twice so far.

Which ones did you end up buying that we already had?

[Spiffythedog]

Umm yea totally guilty… hasn’t happened in a while but I also have reeled in my POP purchases. Sometimes I did do it intentionally, however. I used to ship US exclusives to international Funatics quite often (a few times a week). So if I found some extra I knew someone probably wanted I would pick them up. Few times they didn’t end up needing so they got returned or donated.

[Rantt]

Me! Sometimes I really cannot remember I do have them but I’m always telling myself it’s ok to have extras! Lol

[Elewitt2022]

Thank you everyone for your stories!! I feel like it’s a badge of honor - when your collection gets so large it’s hard to remember everything you have.

And yes I also agree that if you bought a pop a second time it means that you must really like that one!!

I am enjoying the solidarity of my fellow funatics!!!

Keep sharing your stories, please…

[CoolNerd]

Sometimes I do buy extra after forgetting I actually have them! End up I will either display them or give my son to play.

[Valde]

Before the app I bought this blue suit Batman from the Arkham series, I couldn’t remember if I had the black or the blue so I just snagged another. Could have been HT exclusive and figured might as well.

[FunkoFresh253]

never on accident , but i did need to after getting a pop signed, and i wanted a full set unsigned.

[digithor]

I've traded for a freddy that I already have and forgot.

[CaliCollectibles]

Lol all the time. Preorders always escape me, especially when they are over 9 months ahead of release date.

[Mr_Conejo]

Yes I've done this a few times. Especially when Pops are not listed in the app yet.

[Ryespops]

It’s definitely happened once or twice in the past 9 Years

[Jalapenopete]

Love this topic and yes all the time and my most recent was the original tiana
