Unfortunately since the listing was a scam we’ll never get to inspect the tanker further. And so sorry Super, I’ve always been worried of that happening. Hopefully they’ll resurface eventually and you can finally obtain it

Well now I think we can certainly inspect this a LOT further given I HAVE ONE NOW! And based on the provided image for it from that scam seller, this one that I acquired seems to actually have holes in the wheels, and that image doesn't have them...
So this could mean one of two things...
The version I have is a real item that was definitely sold in some kind of event or pack that was from the 2012-2014 era of TrackMaster given it has those holes in the wheels, or the version listed in that image was also released, it was just under a very limited circumstance back in 2010-2011, and Fisher-Price listed it later eventually in 2012-2014, however it could still hold the idea that it was just a prototype for the tanker.
Such a strange mystery of an item that I think I've got an idea of how it got to the public now that I have a supposedly later version of it.
