Funny, I always say you guys in the USA/Austrlia/NZ/Japan (delete as appropriate) have all the cool stuff and I need to visit sometime lol I guess it is a worldwide thing for collectors, always something somewhere else you can't get it easily on your home soil.
I know what you mean about duplicates, but having pretty much stopped originally collecting these around 2017 wave 1 (when they went 'light') I don't really have so much of a problem in that respect as long as I avoid the 'classic' models. Personally I like the metallic and transparent ones as I think they just look cool. Although having said that there are some nice colourful ones coming along recently

Happily collecting things all my life...
