As far as I see it, Vicky 3 is a new and very improved model. As such she inevitably needs new thing to encompass her new features. At least her new clothes respond to her morphs - I was frustrated with my old Vickys coz any clothes you got never morphed. If you owned a cassette player with loads of cassettes then you probaly felt miffed when CD players came out and needed you to buy new CDs for it. Well this is the same isn't it. The V3-V2 lets you use most of the old clothes (which as I pointed out did not have morphs in them anyway) and you can get V3 stuff as and when. It may seem unfair but I guess progress costs. I love V3 and feel that the fantastic resolution and improved bends etc make her a worthwhile investment. I shall step off of my soap box now :) :)
