Choosing one for your collection

Ask for a sharp side view of the front wheel; the common toy code cannot identify the variation by itself.

Collector questions

How is this separated from the other N8971?

Count and compare the front spokes. This version has the open five-spoke design; the other has a denser nine-spoke face.
