Easily Broken/Lost Pieces:

The two long seat belts are the most commonly lost pieces. Also, make sure that the steering wheel isn't missing.

Variations:

While most of it was identical to the original APC, some of the later mail-order version had a dark-green top instead of the tan camouflage top.

Additionally, the wheels were a dark gray instead of black. This Hasbro Direct version with the dark-green top was repackaged to create the convention exclusive CUDA.
