>>6038613I like, sometimes love the improved ko's, I do admit I have a hatred for outright ko's though (especially after my first mp ko's were not only falsely advertised but were everything I was dreading, loose as shit poor paint worse than hasbro counter parts which made me drop out of being a cuck of either side of hastak) but when we get stuff lik mpp10 and reximus prime it makes me think takara need to step up their game, but I'm aware they can be somewhat damaging in terms of profit as well as reputation, so I post what I find as "interesting" to warn/inform people to buy/avoid like the plague.
As for your idea of threads being merged I don't think that would be wise, 3p collectors has a different ideology, some like overly detailed transforming toys, some like them out of the cartoon, some anons have shitloads of money, others will just be worried about the IP in general, and many more valid reasons.
I say ko's of official products should be fine here, we can't stop people buying things, but the least we can do is educate people, but having outright 3p stuff can cause problems for official fags and those who just want their own idealized plastic crack
