This is a fascinating piece! The 1998 Hotwheels Haulers-44 with the factory decal error—reading “30 Years 1998–1998” instead of the correct “1968–1998”—is considered a rare vintage collectible. It features a blue semi-truck with chrome 3-spoke wheels, part of the 1:64 scale diecast series celebrating Hot Wheels’ 30th anniversary.

Here’s what makes it special:

• 🏁 Factory Error: The misprinted decal adds uniqueness and collector appeal.
• 🚛 Model Details: Item #65743-96, blue cab with racing #44 and “30 Years” graphics.
• 🛞 Wheels: Chrome 3-spoke design, a standout feature for this release.
• 📦 Packaging: Often found sealed in original blister packs, though some may show shelf wear due to age.
• 🧭 Discontinued: No longer produced by Mattel, increasing its scarcity.

Condition: Packaging and Vehicle are Mint Condition.
