I think they can compromise, do some research and promote the independant forums. Heck they could even steal from us, there are so many ideas and what have you floating around here they would have to do so little R&D on the chassis etc. If they sent a pre-launch pack to the top 20 modders on the forum they would receive a pleothora of knowledge back that would help them articulate the modifications and additional add ons to produce.

My .02 on it.
Possible, but they also wouldn't want to over complicate things. If they were to do that, the Xmods line would probably now appeal to the sub-thousand of us between all the forums and possibly be too complicated to the millions of other kids in the United States. By keeping it simple, they can appeal to many more than just us on the forums but also mainly appeal to us on the forums because we want to have our little piece of it and do many things ourselves.

Adding to your $0.02 to make it $0.03.
