Another one of a kind Martin Arriola auction! (eBay)

Since the Wally Hauler has Walmart trademarks – it required an additional signoff from Walmart and they had a couple issues with this “final” approval-needed version.

This NEVER RELEASED version was deemed an error and incorrect by Walmart.

So, it was mailed back to Mattel with a note indicating what is incorrect and what needed to be fixed (see below).

Yep, this Wally Hauler auction also includes the original client note!

Another rarity – the artwork on the front of the Wally Hauler was also incorrect and needed changing (including the removal of the Sam’s Club logo). Another RARE aspect of this auction – a final NON-APPROVED diecast release that is an error AND with an error box packaging that also needed to be changed.

So the client (Walmart) wrapped it with the note inside so the sheet would not get separated. They also relayed what was the error, so it was never removed from the wrap.

That’s why Martin Arriola decided to keep it – it’s rare that a 3rd party client makes changes so late in the process but what are you gonna do?

Another literally one-of-a-kind auction – on eBay.

This below photo was the first official final approved version … (not included in the auction).

For those curious about the diecast process, here’s our last post on the topic.

If you’re bidding on this, good luck!
