Path Beater casting context

Those named releases are kept in their own collector records, so the release name, year, toy number, decoration and wheels should be checked together.

Collector FAQs
How do I identify this release?
Check the black finish, 7099 toy code and Easter Speedsters packaging. The catalog release year is 2009.
Does the shared pickup shape make Beach Patrol or Surf Patrol the same release?
No. The body family is related, but Hot Wheels records the release names separately. Use the name and package details for the specific version.
How should I compare condition or value?
Compare the exact year, toy number, series, wheels and package state. A loose model and a carded package are different condition records; no value estimate is assigned here without matched sales evidence.
