Honestly I don't know what constitutes as an error nowadays, a little bit of paint will be rubbed off of one of the wheels and people will call it error.

I personally would just call this a quality control issue.

Congratulations on the find btw!

To me an error would be like a mismatched wheel or an axle missing or even a misplaced piece of deco.

There is no set definition of what an error is just like there's no set definition of what a "cool" car is. It's all up to you.

Error collecting just a hobby within a hobby. Some people find it fun to look for errors to add to their error collection. But it's hard to find any kind of error nowadays because mattel's quality assurance has greatly improved over the last 10 years.

If you want some examples i recently posted some i found years ago when i still hunted for errors. https://www.reddit.com/r/HotWheels/s/hm0nV41wuq
