Fans of GTA 6 are already copying items from the game’s $400 collector’s edition and 3D-printing them for a far cheaper price.
On September 24, Rockstar revealed a special, $400 collector’s edition for GTA 6… except it doesn’t actually come with the game. Despite putting up nearly half a rack, players won’t get the game itself; instead, it comes with a bunch of GTA 6-branded merchandise.
The bundle includes items like a cartoon alligator figure, stickers, pins, a hat, and a pair of Oakley sunglasses, which is probably where most of the cost is coming from. And while fans can’t exactly copy those, they are 3D printing copies of a at least one trinket in the collection.
One of the most viral examples of this is a recreation of the game’s Macca the Alligator mascot, which has been fully modeled and uploaded as a printable file online. And rather than paying $400, fans can simply support its creator by paying what they want.
Reactions to this workaround have been extremely divided; some fans are giving the copycat props for their creative solution to a pricey problem, while others are rallying against them, saying that making a 3D copy completely defeats the purpose of buying a rare item.
“Why would you print it if it already lost its main and only purpose, which is rarity?” one user asked on X/Twitter.

“Dude, I’m all for criticizing the price, but this is just f**king stupid,” another argued.
