GENERAL INFO
Released when the C box type was the type in production, 26B was first packaged in that style, showing the model in red with yellow barrel. The box does exist with and without the NEW MODEL on end flaps.
D1 and D2 boxes soon came after, with the model in orange and silver wheels. The D2 boxes came in three different top/bottom color schemes. C and D boxes are size 3.
The E box, still showing the orange model and orange barrel, has black wheels. It only came in E3 sub-type and was a size 5 box.
RARITY
The C box is probably the less common and the E3 is less easy to find that any D boxes. None of those boxes can be considered rare.
