GENERAL INFO

The first ever King Size, 1A Weatherill Hydraulic Excavator, was released in C and D boxes. The C1 and C2 box have an identical picture, with yellow model and white tires.

The D box shows the model in yellow with dark wheels.

The D box is slightly smaller than the C box.

RARITY

No particular box is rare for this model, however the D box may be a bit harder to find as #1 was shared with 1B in the same box type.
