How to Identify Surf Crate Releases
Start with the exact-release links on this page rather than appearance alone. Compare the documented release year, series or assortment, part/model number, body color and finish, wheel type, tampo decoration, interior and window colors, base material/country, packaging and exclusivity notes. Those fields distinguish releases that can look nearly identical in a loose collection.
For Surf Crate, this family record is the parent index; each linked exact-release report carries its own evidence, image-provenance and market-value state so one variation is not mistakenly valued as another.
Catalog Coverage & Research Notes

Unknown attributes remain unknown rather than being filled with guesses. Generated or fallback artwork is labeled as such and is not treated as photographic proof of an exact release.
