>>8365145I don't think that's quite accurate. Let's not forget MPs exist, which are now averaging in the 3 figure price tags, sometimes more than any 3p counterpart, and still sell out regularly. Plus when you see people posting their hordes online, there's usually a mix of 3ps and officials even if there options for both of a character. I think it's just a matter of 3p being more underground since it's basically blackmarket transformers. Just by the simple nature of transformers being officially marketed to normies means there will be more people aware of it and thus more chance of the usual social media retards shitting up the place. Just compare the current number of /tfg/s on the board to /3pg/s right now. Not as many people not as much news, and thus not as much shitposting to ruin it.
