2006 Datsun 240Z J3277 Factory Sealed Set White Y5 — Guide

Official Identification

J3277 is the individual toy number printed on this card. The card separately prints 2006, 36 of 38 and 036. A molded J3277 number on later examples can identify tooling; it does not assign those later releases to this debut toy. The exact assortment number and barcode for this photographed package remain unknown.

Variation Summary

This record covers pearl white paint with silver Y5 wheels on a First Editions card. Documented white FTE and 10SP examples, yellow 10SP examples, and New Models packaging remain distinct variations. A wheel swap is not factory evidence.

Physical Details

The pearl white die-cast body has red and gray stripes, Hot Wheels flank logos and black 120 door numbers. The photographed wheels show the Y5 pattern. Established casting references list a black plastic base, black interior and blue-tinted windows for the debut release, made in Malaysia. The tire compound is not established here.

Packaging Details

The photograph shows a blue long card with a white 2006 First Editions label and a Factory Sealed 2006 Set holographic sticker and a clear blister containing one car. Position 36/38 and collector 036 are visible. No included accessory is established. The exact card-back suffix, regional distribution and universal UPC are not inferred from the seller title.

Casting History

Phil Riehlman's Datsun 240Z debuted in 2006. This original closed-hood racing tool is distinct from the later Custom '71 Datsun 240Z and Custom 240Z tools. The name refers to the real vehicle; model-year and molded copyright markings must not be substituted for release year.

Notable Releases

The debut family includes pearl-white, yellow and gray racing 120 examples, plus documented wheel and card differences. Later original-tool releases include 2008 Modern Classics and 2025 Art Cars cherry-blossom cars. These later toys have their own release identifiers.

Collector FAQs

Does J3277 mean every car with that base number is a 2006 release?

No. Compare the package, paint, decoration and wheels; later releases can retain molded tooling numbers.

What establishes this Factory Sealed Set package?

The hologram on the photographed card explicitly reads Factory Sealed 2006 Set. Its presence supports the package distinction; it does not establish a production quantity or current rarity. This page's hero is a First Editions long-card package with a Factory Sealed 2006 Set hologram.
