And the firs tthing I wonder is : with the added dedication, expenses, parts and lack of limitations since these are made for collectors and not kids, shouldnt 3P always have to be better than official ones.
If the oficial ones are better, then there is no point to 3P, right?

At this stage, I think HasTak are using them as a form of market research. I'm betting their reading all the boards and messages like "OMG: we need a MP <insert pseudo-popular character>" and watching the reactions.
I'm pretty certain in my assertion that the 3rd Party combiner hype that TFC's and MakeToy's Devastator started lead to Combiner Wars.

It feels like they are ignoring a vast money making market. Especially Hasbro, as when they do offer a Masterpiece, they make it a TRU exclusive.

We dont have the numbers on how much they sell, do we?. They sell out, but they dont produce many. I would be very surprised if their individual runs exceed 10 000 units. If we dont know the amount, then we cant really judge how big an impact they are towards hasbro.
