This release and its companions
Choosing one for your collection
Look along the white stripes where they cross the roof. A centered top view is more useful for this than a dramatic low-angle shot.
Inspect the front bumper and the wheel-arch edges for chips. The metallic blue can hide small marks in shadow.
Collector questions
Is the yellow car a different annual number?
No. The yellow JBB95 shares 176/250 and Then and Now 4/10. Color and toy code distinguish the two.
