Have you ever bought multiples of a figure just to get more accessories? I'm thinking of getting an extra Orton/Barrett pack so I have a pair of crutches... but I didn't even want the two figures in the first place. I only bought it for the crutch, and now I'm thinking of buying another. I bought an extra Heath Slater for the ladder, but I'm thinking of doing a head swap on the figure too. I wish I'd bought a few more elite 11 Barretts for the Nexus shirts, really. Oh, and of course elite 10 Big Show, for the extra set of titles. I never bought an extra Evan Bourne though, I knew I'd be getting Kofi when it came out so I was happy to wait.

The only figure I think I ever bought an extra for the accessories was the Elite 10 (?) Big Show for the extra pair of titles.

Hey, I've got a crutch from that set. Send me your address via pm and it is yours. No need to buy a 2nd set.

I can't think of any Mattels, but I bought TONS of Jakks figures just for the belts. If I recall, there was a Batista wearing a pink shirt and tie and he was the first figure to come with Jakks' large version of the World title. I bought probably close to 10 of that figure just for those belts.

I never have done that. That is a huge waste of money

I bought two E8 Sheamus for the WWE titles. Luckily, they were discounted to $2 along with the rest of Elite 8.
That's about it. Other duplicates I've bought were for customs or to replace broken figures.

as ashamed as I am to admit, I do this too - bought many cheap BASIC Randy Ortons from RSC sales (like $7-8 a pop) just for more medium-sized knee pads. I've bought an extra Arn and Tully mainly for the titles, but turned one of them into the M$M at the same time.
I'm also seriously considering dropping the $90+ for that RAW stage just so I can have a backdrop for picture-taking like some of you guys do! But trying to reserve at least $150 for the upcoming Elite 19 Pre-Order!!!

Nope! Never dreamed of spending $20 for one accessory when I can just go to the Wrestling Super Store and order $20 worth of accessories for the better deal.
Think of this, you can spend $20 on one chair and a figure you already own that's useless, or you can spend $20 and get 20 chairs. The later offer is better to me.

I have never bought duplicates of a figure just for the accessories. Mattel's prices make getting 1 of each figure a bit expensive. I will admit to occasionally buying a figure I didn't really want just to get the belt that came with him. I did it w/ E15 Evan Bourne, and will most likely buy another Kofi when he comes out in E17 so that I can get the other WWE tag belt. Even though I am quite happy w/ the E9 Kofi. Also considering picking up Arn & Tully even though I really am not a fan of either. That seems to be the only way to get the classic tag belts. BTW, for those who are interested, mattycollector.com has a significantly lower price on those two figures than does Ringside Collectibles.

Sometimes a basic for a headswap (and i keep both figures) But damn, 6 slaters?? I was lucky enough to have gotten 2 loose at a toy show for 8$, and the only missing part was 1 elbow joint, and grabbed one off of the other online wrestling store  |
