Re: Ever bought a Pop! you already own?
I’ve certainly been gifted a pop I already own. But it allowed me to display one out of box !!

Was all disappointed that I couldn't find one in store in December, then was sorting through the mountain of pop boxes in my living room and found the very pop I'd been looking for! Then unboxing, and found the other pop. I'm too young for my memory to be failing me this badly!
So when are you getting a 4th!
Well, it would be a third, since I couldn't find one to buy in store, thank goodness. I think this pop will stick in my memory now, since I'm so annoyed with myself over it! I have a possible home for it, as a local friend was also looking for the same pop - just hoping they didn't also buy multiples without telling me about it!

I have to say, seeing this thread and everyone doing the same thing I've occasionally done is really making me feel better about those oops moments! Thanks everyone!

The first time this happened was Manny Pacquiao. I bought one and my wife bought one a week later. No regrets haha

Gotta say which grail, or it didn't almost happen!
Congrats though on it being an almost, rather than an oops! Grails are usually way too expensive to do this with!

I am not sure if I ever did, but my friend collected every major MCU character for the whole Infinity saga, and would definitely forget what he had whenever we saw a good sale in a store... he bough several duplicates.

Re: Ever bought a Pop! you already own?
When I first got into Pops it was because of Steven Universe. I bought like 4 Pearl pops because they were on clearance at Hot Topic. I ended up giving them to friends.
Otherwise the only other time is getting a pop I already have in a mystery box.

Phew, that was a lucky almost! A great pop to have, but once is probably enough at that price!

I feel like if your pop was damaged, it shouldn't count. It's not a duplicate, it's a clone!

Re: Ever bought a Pop! you already own?
I took one of my duplicates to an event today to give to another funatic who I know was looking for the same pop - and she didn't show! I'd really like to get it out of my house, every time I see it I feel ridiculous for buying it twice!

Re: Ever bought a Pop! you already own?
I’ve done that a couple of times. Before I started logging all the pops I have I would order one or preorder it then see it in the store and pick it up there too .

Oh no, it wasn't even a guarantee that she'd be there, I was just hoping to get it out of the house. I'll get her at the next event, she had no idea I was coming or bringing her a pop. When I tell her this funny story though, I bet you anything she'll be profusely apologetic for something she had no idea about!

Re: Ever bought a Pop! you already own?
Even with the Funko app I still accidentally re-buy pops once in a while
Usually when I preorder or order something a long time ago, then when it comes out in hand I notice it again and forget that I preordered it (and therefore didn't log it into the app, since I technically don't have it yet).

Especially since some places you preorder from seem to be the last ones that ship it too

I've had that problem, where the app just doesn't predict that I will own something. They really need to work on that for us in the next update!

Re: Ever bought a Pop! you already own?
I keep track of my collection on an excel file because I like to keep track how much I spent for a specific grail. Once in a blue moon, I’d buy duplicates because it was cheaper than what I originally bought it for. It’s for “averaging down” purpose. XD

I did it most recently when there was an exclusive for sale, and I bought it at the reseller's website and on the Funko website, just in case one of the orders got cancelled....
Now I have two!

I've done that a few times. I'm so sure I don't have a certain Pop, I buy it, and I find out later that I already own it. Definitely a "Doh!" moment!
