those boxed sets were a real cash in,they found a box full of nos wheels [which arent exactly rare,i think 4 and 6 must be the most easiest wheels around to find in nos condition] then threw in a few signatures and a box and folk were selling them for £500 a set in the states

it may as well be,as thats all you see,ill see if i can find an early advert,i dont know if they were ever officially released in amber,maybe the ones i saw were the ones used in the ads (or maybe not as they must be drawings) lol

the ones i saw for sale were 4's if i remember right, until then i always assumed the ones in the advert were recoloured or something as they are only a rendering but there must be at least one set out there
