Dear Seibertron website:

Lithographs are original works of visual art created by an artist and printed by an artist. This point of view is confirmed by U.S. Customs and U.S. Copyright Law. The marketing and promotion of reproductions as lithographs to sell DVDs is deceptive.

All legitimate artists who create works of visual art like lithographs, not to mention those who sell fully disclosed reproductions would appreciate full and honest disclosure to these reproductions as reproductions.

Otherwise, it is poisons the marketplace and creates unfair competitive practices.

Thank you for your consideration.

You felt the need to post this, why? Hate to say it, but DVDs(and games and such) that come with "reproductions" have been labeled lithographs for as long as I remember.

Way to make yourself sound like a tool, and pop your website on a messageboard, too.

Err... yeah.

It's not the website's fault that they're calling these things lithographs. The Seibertron news staff is just reporting the news. If you want to attack folks, go after the ones putting out the "lithographs."

It's the same thing that goes with all types of art, like giclees or "limited edition" prints, etc. The terms get thrown around so much that only those in the business really understand the terms.

Now, let's get back onto the subject: holy @#%@#$% batman, that's a lot of different exclusives. Thank god I just collect figures.

Too many exclusives. I just want the friggin' 2-Dick Collector's Edition and call it done.

And it's a shame we don't have a button to give impromptu shock therapy to idiots like gwasreneau.

Not enough to harm, just enough to snap some sense into people.

[Cyber-Kun]

Oh dear GOD! How many exclusives can there be???

[Bouncy X]

i'm still gonna stick to the steelbook edition that futureshop will have here in canada....all those extras are neat and all but there's none i truly want and would be worth spending extra on and i looooove steelbook cases..they're so shiny and perty..lol

[kitonight]

wait so where is the limited edition megatron and ratchet?

[xxaMaxx]

Sounds to me like the best exclusive will be the Wal-Mart version that comes bundled with the "Animated" prequel comic.

Has anyone actually seen it yet, by the way?

[Liege Evilmus]

No mention of the real limited BlockBuster MP3 player though

*sigh* So many exclusives... I'm glad they're relying on the quality of the movie to actually sell the damned thing. Nothing says "we have a really well-done, classic-for-the-ages movie on our hands" like having 6 billion versions of one movie, each it's own cheap gimmick.

To the idiot thinking of buying all of them... a fool and his money should be happy that they found each other in the first place.

I'm using that tomorrow at work

[Nemesis_Apoc]

holy poop...

[NuclearConvoy]

what the crap? why so many random crappy exclusives?
