No I haven't bought a figure just because others want it. But I have bot figs that I am not totally in love with. I would end up buying because they're on sale. The logic goes like this... well, I kind of like it... wouldn't pay $$$ for it... but since it's on sale for only $, why not?? Most of the time the figs that I only got due to sale price end up being neglected by me as the "love" wears off quickly. So I will try to avoid that in the future... like tomorow when the TRU sale starts!
