I only do that with repaints
Classics Rodimus for instance:
RtS Rodimus: Universe 2003 display
United Rodimus Clear Blue: Special Editions shelf
Henkei Hot Rodimus: planned for Classics shelf, Movie Autobots
United Rodimus Prime: planned for Classics shelf, movie Autobot Leaders alongside Ultra Magnus
Yeah, those are repaints, not the exact same thing in several displays.
If you buy several of exactly the same, it seems like a waste, unless you're plan is reselling them later on.
And lets face it, with all the online stores selling Transformers it's less profitable for fans now. You have to have something really rare or really in demand to make it worthwhile to sell Transformers. Fan based sales and trading are far surpassed by stores like Seibertron's sponsors now. And there is nothing wrong with that, don't get me wrong, but it just operates differently now as opposed to as recently as when the 2007 movie figures came out escalating to the point it is now.
Have we even seen photos of the actual Shockwave toy(?), so to say it would warrant like 3 purchases is jumping the gun(yeah, that was a pun).
I had high hopes for DOTM Shockwave and I honestly wasn't impressed with his Voy toy, the Cyberverse is really nice for it's size though.
