Thing is Bandai America's products at SDCC and NYCC have become so scalper crazy it's stupid. Last year, more people in line (I walked the line to talk to people, I was never in line) told me they planned to flip the product because "Dude it's going for what my plane ticket was" or "It's such a huge investment, the Dragon Dagger will pay for my xyz".

The days of fans wanting it for themselves are now over.

MMPR is the show that most casuals grew up. Given how many people go to SDCC, most people who go there most likely only grew up with MMPR or stop after Turbo. It's no different with other franchises like Transformers, Yu-Gi-Oh and DBZ where most casuals only grew up with the show that was more popular.
