Cheers. I feel really bad for anyone who may be buying them as a present and not being aware that the product isn't genuine. The first one I saw was a Tigertrack, which is what threw me, as I wasn't familiar with his going price range.

I agree. Go ahead and report those listings.
I own a Binaltech BT-06 Blue Tracks thanks to a member on this forum. I'm intrigued that the box art has a yellow tracks. Can someone please inform me why this is the case?
A link of a pic from the internet. Click here.
Yellow version was released first, because of licensing (from what I remember, I think the blue colour was not a real colour to that model Corvette, so Chevrolet wouldn't allow it). Later they were allowed to do a blue version, but left the packaging unchanged (saves money... and it still had the same BT number, just with a sticker on the box to say that it was the "Gen1 coloured version").
(By the time Hasbro did their version of Tracks a bit over a year later, the blue version was possible.)
Later they would produce different packaging for different decos released at the same time (Jazz/Meister & Prowl), but the early ones (Smokescreen, Tracks, Smokescreen GT) they used the same packaging probably as a cost-cutting measure.
