GENERAL INFO

The last of the series of 4 Caterpillar Bulldozers, 18D only has one major variation. It shows a large bulldozer in yellow and green threads. Interestingly, three different E sub-types were used: E1, E3 and E4. The E1 box was released with three different combinations of top/bottom. The E3 and E4 boxes only had the Light Blue on both top and bottom.

All boxes were of size 4.

RARITY

The E3 box is harder to find and should be considered a scarce box.
