Thanks for lookin.

That's odd looking. Good find, but odd looking.

Man, that looks great for an error car!

Error definetly!!!

I have a ?

If that very same model was facing the opposite direct and had the correct tires and rims affixed, would it be considered a variant or an error packaging?

I ask this because I have two CARS in blister packs that have these issues:

BRAND NEW Mater with old/rusty front wheels off the original Mater.

I had (recently traded away BARNEY STORMIN in an over-sized blister pack that was packaged with the plane facing down as shown in these pics.

It was not my intention to hog this post but to only provoke more discussion about the use of these two words "ERROR" and "VARIANT" in our hobby.

I hope everyone wades in and give their opinions, olesarge90/Gill

It looks like that the "Bandit" has struck and lifted the wheels off someone else's car to put on his own. A very fitting error.

I would call it an error, because a variation usually has all matching wheels that are different from the very same model having another set of wheels.
