Picked this up today from Hobby Lobby. Appears to be a misprint as well.

Area code on the phone number of the sponsor on the door is incorrect. Shows a NYC area code but a LA address.

Cosmetically the bed is not the proper depth. It doesn't show the wheel wells.

Not only that, but that LA address does not exist, and phone numbers 555-0100 through 555-0199 are reserved for fictional use.

Or it could be that the Charger is labeled as "Brian's Mitsubishi Eclipse."

Others that I know who have bought this don't have the misprint. Guess I can't take it out of the wrapper now. lol

Bah, you guys are too old to play with toy cars any way! 🤪 I wouldn't open it either. To make it a real collector's item box it up with a CD of the movie and put it away.
