The interior with ROLL CAGE, i have found it with the base stamped 'F34' and without roll cage has 'F35'. But i think there are other numbers which can have the base stamped 'F29'. You can find this model in both 2014 CASE B & C. The smaller the base stamped number, the earlier version you will get. Chances are that they will have the interior with roll cage. Now as we are facing towards the end of 2013, 2014 mainline D cases are coming in soon (as early as beginning of December 2013. Do check on eBay site for the latest released Hot Wheels case). 2014 mainline C cases has started to appeared around the world.

Whether to confirm WITHOUT ROLL CAGE version is an ERROR OR VARIATION, is still unknown for sure until we see the next recolor version of this model in the later year of 2014. If you check on the first version of '92 BMW M3 (SILVER & METAFLAKE BLUE ) until the mid of 2013 from the last series (RACING SERIES - FULL BODY & BASE DIECAST/METAL - 1ST time produced), they all have the interior with ROLL CAGE. So for any collectors or new comers alike, please check your collection if you are into this model, ok. We might be lucky to find any errors or variations other than the ones i found so far. :D

That's it for now.

Thanks for visiting my blog and all your time & support.

More updates will be coming up soon. Take care & happy hunting! :D

Well, that's all i can find for now. One of the fun thing about collecting Hot Wheels cars is that there are so much discovery to be unfolded. You have to look very closely & have a very sharp eyes as well as alot concentration in order to find the unusual ones. Sometimes even it is in your collection and you haven't really know it is an error(s) or variant(s). Better check it out yourself sometimes, alright.

For me, i love errors & variations. And it is very interesting for those who have found it and auction it out for those who is willing to pay for a higher price for it. The excitement is for both parties indeed. The one that found it and sold it & the one who wins the auction out of so many bidders and own it. That's one of the best feelings ever! :D

So, for those that already have this model, you can still check it out and see if you have found any error(s) or variation(s), ok. For those haven't got one yet, you can always hunt at your nearest shopping mall that has toy shops or shop online. There is still so much to discover. And if you still can't have enough for this mainline version, you can still wait for the upcoming 2014 HOT WHEELS - RETRO ENTERTAINMENT series with fully detailed body tampos, real rider rubber tires & cool designed card in this late November to early December 2013, alright.

Thanks for visiting my blog and stay tune for more updates.
Happy hunting & take care! :D
