  "account": "GTA 6 fans are already 3D printing replica items from the game's $400 collector's edition, despite the pricey package not actually containing the game itself. Upon its September 24 reveal, the collector's edition boasted GTA 6-themed merchandise, including a cartoon alligator figure, stickers, pins, a hat, and a pair of Oakley sunglasses. While the primary items cannot be reproduced, one viral example is a 3D-printed Macca the Alligator mascot modeled after the game's mascot. Fans have taken to the internet, dividing opinions on the practice. Some applaud the creativity of fans for finding a cheaper alternative, while others criticize the act of copying these rare items, arguing that it nullifies the purpose of the pricey collector's edition.",
