Attached are the images which you wanted to add to your other requests. I must
say the bags look suspicious to me. In fact, I have a feeling the are not factory
sealed.

Besides, the wheels

and

* 
4624c03 (Inv) Wheel 8mm D. x 6mm with Black Tire 21mm D. x 9mm Offset Tread Medium (4624 / 4084)
Parts: Wheel & Tire Assembly
came assembled in sets through the early 2000's. The inventory changes for
4624c03 were already completed some time ago.

Even if this set would have come without pre-assembled wheels, we would not add
them as alternates but would just add a note like it was done here:

These look much more like factory sealed bags than those from the current Ebay
listing.

The bags looked weird to me, too. They were too "full".

Yep. I knew that these wheels and tires being separated in the bags did not fit
the timelines, which made things even more suspicious.

Interesting.

I cannot tell if the bags are original but there are also some facts making me
believe it:
- the parts look new
- if somebody tried to repack the bags, he managed to make everything look like
original, i.e. the sprues are there, the heads and torsos are assembled together,
the parts are grouped in different bags the same way TLG grouped the parts to
put in different bags. But yet, this guy disassembled the wheels from tires?!
Why?
- the seller or somebody repacked the bags for an uncommon set whose price is
just $150?!

Anyway, we hopefully find another NIB copy of this set sometime in the future
and find out more.
