"Real-like rubber tires"?

What the SCRAP does that even mean? Who in the history of the universe has ever described something as "real-like"? It sounds like something you'd say if you knew something wasn't realistic, but you wanted to try to pass it off as such. Kind of like "cheese-like food product". Hell, it even sounds more fake to me than "real-ish".

4-digit prices? How could anyone look at them without seeing the pile of other TF stuff they could've bought instead? Or the single Darksyde Megatron.

"Reissuing"...if they're individually numbered, there's no need for differences from the first batch, but which movie were these originally done for?

These are for people with more money than sense. Even if you have a thousand dollars to spare, this is a waste of money.

Absolutely agree waste of cash. Add in the pure fact that they do not look like this in the current versions for the fourth movie and it just adds to the waste.
New pics added as I find time.

Electro-plated Resin? Damn... those are some cheap materials. For that price, I'd be asking for hand-crafted steel bodies, fully airbrushed by hand, too.

Accidentally.

Way out of my price range and even if it wasn't, I wouldn't buy these. =; >:oP
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

Limited edition, 130 units worldwide... a price tag in the thousand dollar range... and it's for the 30th anniversary and yet you give us MOVIE versions???? Seriously, I do not have enough middle fingers to express how I really feel about this!
