GENERAL INFO

The 5A is another Major Packs model which is very interesting to collect boxes for. It was first released in B3 and B4 boxes, where the front and back are slightly different. It is closer to the left border on one side. The same situation happens on the C box as well.

The D box has two different variations. The first one shows the model in a profile view, while the second is a bigger front view. In both cases, the model is red with yellow rotor and silver hubs.

The E box has a detailed background showing the harvester at work in a field. It has red hubs and black wheels.

All boxes are 120 X 51 X 65.

RARITY

The D box with the profile view is the rarest are arguably the rarest D box for Major Packs.
