The ones on that site are actually almost identical to the Hasbro/Takara releases and are often sold as "Reissues" or "Replicas", these are a very high quality KOs...but still a KOs, LOL.

EDIT: I didn't mean that to come off "snooty", I hope it didn't.

No worries I totally understand the quality issues. Devasatator is one of my fav TF's so I've tried to get every version I could even if it was a KO. Years ago I spent $100 on a complete loose vintage G1 Devastator so it's hard to spend $70 on a reissue/KO. I wish those sets were a little cheaper. The boxes are nice and I would prob not even open them up bc they display well.
