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.

Also illegal. And a violation of eBay's Terms of Service.

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?

yellow was the first version released, then came blue, the box art they've used, has just carried through

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.
