MAJOR PACKS: MODELS 1 to 10
The D boxes for the Major Pack series feature, like other ranges, a very beautiful colored picture of the model inside. It shows the model number in blue, in a white “M”with MAJOR above and PACK under. The “MATCHBOX” in arch is identical to the one for Regular Wheels. “A LESNEY PRODUCTION” in black can be seen as well at the bottom of the box. SUB TYPES There are two sub types for Major Packs D boxes. Although the lettering and presentation of the end flap is consistent, the sub types depends on the fact that it is a regular box (D1) or sliding box (D2). MAJOR AND MINOR VARIABLES Only the actual drawing plays a role of a major variable. The mention “NEW MODEL” was not used for MP D boxes. SIZES Just like King Size and Accessory Packs, Major Pack boxes come in different sizes for each model. TOP AND BOTTOM They are typically black and blue. OTHER NOTES ON THE MAJOR PACKS D TYPE BOXES Front and back are always identical. No #7 and #8 are known to exist. MODEL BOX BREAKDOWN
