  4. For a loose car, check the base and paint condition before matching it to this entry.

Collector notes

Record paint chips, wheel wear, missing or altered tampos, window marks, base wear and package condition separately. Do not infer a release from color alone when the code or series evidence is available.

Keep the release year, toy code, series and physical condition details together when recording this casting.

Value Research

For 2016 DHT81, compare completed sales for the same series and package format: Then and Now · Super Treasure Hunt. This casting appears in different colors and release types, so model-name-only searches can mix unlike examples.

Use the listed finish and series to confirm the record. Note paint and tampo wear, wheels, axles and base; on packaged cars, assess the card and blister separately from the casting.
