Continuing to be a TF fan doesn't require u to buy stuff. I think it's a time that gives u an opportunity to enjoy the stuff u've already got that doesnt get enough love usually cos ur too buys acquiring.

To me it appears ROTFs that lull for a lot of people. But I think there's a large part of TF fandom that's all about buying (says me ) but I think a lull is good b/c it could get ppl to focus on more creative endeavours about TFs like customs, fan fiction, art etc.
