Most of the time I will buy 2 of each just in case 1 comes damaged. either case I usually open one for my kid to play with as we enjoy the hobby together.

I buy duplicates of the POPs I display at school - just in case.

Usually only buy one if I’m in store. But if ordering online I like to order multiples because I’m worry about the poor shipping.

I usually try to order two for shipping purposes. Keep the one I want and see if a friend needs the other.

I do on really detailed pops or pops that I must free from the box. I like going to the park and taking pics sometimes so gotta have a few doubles. Some of the pops have so much detail that it's kinda a waste to keep in box. But since I'm ocd I justify buying 2 so 1 can be a photo muse.

Only for certain one mostly just GITD ones I love like Hades I got one on my shelf out of box and one in the closet inbox. Knew I wouldn't be able to get the chase, always too late, so figured I'd get 2 regular.

Re: Do you buy two of each Pop? One to open and one to save?
Just buy one pop to open. Don’t have the space for 2 of the same pop and don’t really need 2 of the same pop. Buying 1 pop saves money for buying more pops in the future. And with all the new releases, every penny counts towards the next hot new release.

I only buy two if I like that specific pop.

if I order online, I usually order 2 because i'm always paranoid that it won't come in mint condition.

Same here. I've done this with a few Batman's and Voltron.

It depends on the Pop. Normally, I prefer to buy to buy one. And it's not for me. Unless we're talking about chases.

Re: Do you buy two of each Pop? One to open and one to save?
If it's a store exclusive but not that limited and that store's shipping is hit or miss (looking at you, Walmart, Target...) I'll get two. If it's somewhat limited I'll only get two if me and my son each want it.

Usually just buy one and open it. If I want to hold onto it, I'll look for an OoB one on ebay.

Re: Do you buy two of each Pop? One to open and one to save?
Hahaha would love to do this but financially it isn't feasible. My current dilemma is more towards do I free it or leave it in the box.

Very rarely do I buy two, only if I am planning on gifting one.

I'll add to your question, do you buy two of the same if one is a chase, I use to but stopped, gets two expensive.

I don't. I only go for a chase if I know that I am fine with the common at least when ordering online. In store, if I only want the chase then I go to stores. It would be too expensive if I got both.

I did for this final Disney Treasures Adventure box because of the Orville Rides. I would only do it if I really loved the item.

I struggle with it because technically buying one of each would be a complete set but I just don't have the mo e3 to justify two of the same... first world problems right?..

Stop buying two because someone would inevitably ask me for the second one,

For me it depends on the pop but not usually. In box collector mostly. Love to stack.

Depends on the pop - I will usually pick the version I like the best if I don't love both of them. Like baby driver - I would only get the regular of him with sunglasses, but I only have the chase version of Eleven right now. But if I like both the chase and regular then I will get both.

No. Right now they are all in box. Just because I don't have time right now to clean out my office completely and unbox them all.

It depends on if I really like both versions. There are some where I like the chase more then the regular one so i don't even bother with buying the regular one.

The only duplicates that I've gotten so far are several Stitch pops...and that usually one to rock, and one to rock in another location haha. I don't keep either box.

You know what I never thought about the fact that some do actually look better in there non chase form... man, but so much money to spend on so many doubles..
