Never :) . Only sometimes I'am doubting how many Snow Serpents I've got, or how many Overkill's I got (I make armies of the v1 version) but I know all the types of Joes I've got, and I never have buyed a figure that I already have by mistake. Perhaps it is because I'am fairly new in collecting joes (less than one year).

Sadly yes, this happens to me. I've got mine in shoeboxes, plastic shoebox cases, Ziploc bagged, in copier paper boxes, etc.

I don't buy too much new stuff these days, but it is amazing to find stuff I haven't had out in a while and say: "I didn't remember I had this figure!"

Occasionally I find myself searching frantically for a figure after taking pictures. I try never to interrogate my sons, as 9 times out of 10, the figure is camouflaged or posed into a corner...right where I left him.

Occasionally I ask in a loving, fatherly voice: "I can't find so and so. I was playing with him over in this area. Have either of you boys seen him?" Amazing how many times my sons can find them quickly.

kids are good at that. like hunting for easter eggs. ;)

I find stuff all the time. No specific examples. course, i've also lost a lot too.

I know what you mean G. I put all my motorized back packs in a box years ago, and now for the life of me cannot find it. :(

I tend to keep all my figures in good order mainly on display or in a big ole' container. But I did think I had something when I didn't which led me to pass up aa good price on him only to figure out that I didn't have him!

Well.
First Quarrel. Now Vipers. I always thought I only had one 1986 Viper... but it turns out I have two. Both complete.
Spiffy. :cool:

As I bitched to LordRaven & Carlito, I seemed to have lost upwards of 10 DTC CGs! and who knows what else. I don't realize UNTIL I'm looking for 'em. But I guess with the 25A, a lot of that was rebuilt in terms of what I lost. "where'd that SpyTroops Roadblock go... oh, i got a 25A. that'll work. :\ "

I only have a few figures, so I dont have this problem! :)
