| Hi,
I'm opening a MISB:
Let me know if you want ask any questions regarding inventory. I will keep it
in box for 1 week.
For what I could gather so far, there are 3 versions of this set.
Mine comes with 6x Wheels + 8x 75535 Connector in Mettalic Silver.
Can't find the Factory Run number on the seal, may it has faded or never
had it.
Glad to help in anything I can.

I researched this set extensively earlier this year, and the inventory will probably
not require any further changes. But thank you for the offer.

Hi Randy,
I do believe that the very first version had 10 Metallic Silver wheels.
That's what I remember from my own MISB set from my personal collection but
I didn't document it so not 100% sure. But user bricktrain in eurobricks
seems to agree:
https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/172938-questions-about-8285-tow-truck/
I do believe he's on BrickLink too, it would be awesome if he joined this
thread.

I did not find any evidence in my research that showed any set having 10 silver
wheels, and I looked at a lot of documented sealed sets. If there is definitive
proof somewhere in pictures that shows a sealed set with 10 silver wheels, then
I can adjust the inventory for that.

That's exactly my recollection and the photo depicting the Model B shows
at least 8 metallic silver wheels (although the photos are not always 100% accurate

Well, to be fair, pic of the B model is showing at least 4 metallic silver wheels
 And one non-coated - the second wheel from the back, driver's side.
But as you said - the photos are not always 100% accurate

The inventory showed that as we discussed it back in 2007 as you can see in the
inventory change log. It was fact and proven them and should not have been changed
from that just because someone many years later has not got the proof any more.

For the situation of three scenarios that you are talking about, the inventory
was definitely *not* set up correctly back in 2007.
If you have proof for what you are suggesting, please provide it and the inventory
will be adjusted *correctly*.

I would think in this case it would simply be 10 silver wheels linked with a
match ID to 10 gray wheels, with maybe a note explaining that there were three
distinct configurations of wheels. I've tried to set up a triple-version
scenario with an inventory before, with the result that I still needed to explain
everything in the notes:
* | | 7019-1 (Inv) Viking Fortress against the Fafnir Dragon
979 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 2005
Sets: Vikings |

Sorry I did not photograph the opening of the four new sets to keep for evidence
ten years later. Several people have also stated that they had sets with ten
metallic wheels. It would be hard to find one of these sets now, without opening
all the available sealed sets that still exist. I agree the way it was shown
in the inventory was confusing, a note on the page saying that three variations
of the set exist would be more understandable, which is what I had hoped would
have been done back then.

Hi Randy,

Maybe there is a language barrier here, but I don't find this wording very
amicable?
I never suggested that you would make changes to the inventory, I only offered
my help if anyone had questions about the version I have at hand. That's
all.
I suggested that are 3 versions, you said there are 2, according to your investigations.
My "recollection" is corroborated by Bricktrain, who bought 4 (four) MISB sets
plus 1 (one) second handed with 10 metallic silver wheels, back in the day.
For *me* that is proof enough.
I don't need changes on the inventory, didn't ask for that, thank you.

| | Hi,
I'm opening a MISB:
Let me know if you want ask any questions regarding inventory. I will keep it
in box for 1 week.
For what I could gather so far, there are 3 versions of this set.
|
I believe there are only two.
| | Mine comes with 6x Wheels + 8x 75535 Connector in Mettalic Silver.
|
You have the first version.
| | Can't find the Factory Run number on the seal, may it has faded or never
had it.
Glad to help in anything I can.
|
I researched this set extensively earlier this year, and the inventory will probably
not require any further changes. But thank you for the offer.
Cheers,
Randy

Hi Randy,
I do believe that the very first version had 10 Metallic Silver wheels.
That's what I remember from my own MISB set from my personal collection but
I didn't document it so not 100% sure. But user bricktrain in eurobricks
seems to agree:
https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/172938-questions-about-8285-tow-truck/
I do believe he's on BrickLink too, it would be awesome if he joined this
thread.
Cheers,
Renato

I did not find any evidence in my research that showed any set having 10 silver
wheels, and I looked at a lot of documented sealed sets. If there is definitive
proof somewhere in pictures that shows a sealed set with 10 silver wheels, then
I can adjust the inventory for that.
Cheers,
Randy

My original 4 sets had 10 silver wheels, as did one I recently purchased used
in a collection I bought. The last w/o new ones I bought had 6 silver and 4 grey
wheels, later buyers found 10 grey wheels. That is why the inventory showed
the 3 options.
|
Thank you Paul,
That's exactly my recollection and the photo depicting the Model B shows
at least 8 metallic silver wheels (although the photos are not always 100% accurate
too).
|
My original comment still stands. If there is definitive proof somewhere in pictures
that shows a sealed set with 10 silver wheels, then I can adjust the inventory
for that. I will not be making changes based on recollection or on prototype
set images.

Maybe there is a language barrier here, but I don't find this wording very
amicable?

Its funny that the set pictures all show ten metallic silver wheels

These kind of boxes usually have the batch code on the top narrow side. It is
mostly *very* small. See attached photo.
