Which sets have you bought multiples of, and why?

[KopakaFan116]

Have any of you guys ever bought more than one of specific set(s)? Which ones did you get, and why? I just bought 3 of 70787 Gali Master of Water because of her nice array of pieces and what a good set she is. 

[CaT in Rogue]

Dang son, three at once? You made of money?

 

Anyways, the only set I've gotten more than one of is Onua 2015, simply because purple parts are so rare. (Well, and I like his design.)

[Bfahome]

Aside from promotional things and ammo/collectible packs, I think the only sets I've intentionally purchased multiples of are the 2015 Gali and Onua sets.

 

3x Gali, first when the sets launched, second when I didn't have the set with me and I needed to make the spinny (wasn't a hard decision since it's a good set), third as a gift.

 

2x Onua, because Target had that weird clearance on them as soon as they were released and I ended up paying the same for two as I would have for one.

I've got two of the new Jango Constraction, one to keep together because I really like the character, and one to cannibalize for MOCs because I really like sand blue parts.

From G1 i bought 2 Kongu Mahri cause he is awesome 

 

And G2 i bought 2 Tahu 2015, 2 Kopaka 2015 and Mask Maker VS Skull Grinder cause i wanted to have more for the thought of loosing a piece or something.

[Wazdakka]

2 Onua Mata (1 cannibalized for an Onua x Toxic Reapa MOC), 2 Brutaka, 2 Axonn (gotta have Botar yo), 2 Matau Metru (eBay works in mysterious ways, 1 cannibalized for Teridax MOC), and 2 Onua Mistika (1 from London when I visited and the sets were released before in the U.S. and 1 from my favorite BZP member).

My duplicates were hardly ever ones I got of my own volition; save for a second Tahu Nuva (for the purposes of acquiring a CMoV), my duplicates were gifts—so I ended up with three Toa Iruini and Toa Norik. (Family members saw "Special Edition" and got excited.) I also got a few Bohrok and Rahkshi in the same way; this waned as extended family learned to just get LEGO gift cards.

Bionicle-wise I've two Vakama and Nuju Metru because of a friend. Haven't ever gotten doubles of a Bionicle set before, iirc. System, yes; but not Bionicle.

[Rahkshi Lalonde]

i don't recall buying many dupes, given my sparse cash funds as is, but when i was younger, somehow, i just kept getting THOK as a gift, like, i got Irnakk, who contains thok, then i got a thok, then, a year or so later... another thok! (to be fair i got a similar number of vezoks, and two avaks, gosh, piraka have a lot of useless parts to have more than one of. x: )

[Nescent]

I have some duplicate Bohrok.

 

You can never have too many Bohrok.

[Toa Smoke Monster]

I've actually never bought multiple copies of a particular set. One of them is enough for me.

[Taria Pakari]

Never bought multiples myself, but my dad got me three of Gali Mistika at once back in '08. :v

[Akuna Toa of Sonics]

I've never intentionally gotten multiples of sets, but I do believe I have quite a few duplicates from the Metru Nui years.

[sydorack]

I have a second sidorak still in the box just in case my original set somehow gets damaged or destroyed. I know that's pretty paranoid of me, but I just love that set way too much for my own good.

 

As far as g2 goes, I have multiples of many sets, mostly for parts. I also have an entire second set of all the 2015 summer sets on display at my station at work. My boss makes fun of me for them a lot.

[Nidhiki of the Shadows]

I have multiples of sets from big parts bins and gifts, but I never buy multiples of one set. I'm more a collector, and extra pieces don't really do much for me. I got a second Kopaka Master of Ice this Christmas and I'm thinking I'll keep it sealed for a day when it might be worth a lot.
