Packaging[]
The main way to purchase these beans were in packs of 4. Each pack would have a a transparent plastic area in the centre showing one bean, while the other three were hidden. The box could be tilted to move the visible bean around.
There were also two Collector Tins; one based on WGP Lightning McQueen and one based on Mater. Each tin could hold up to 42 beanz and contained two exclusive beanz which could not be found in the standard packs. The Lightning McQueen tin contains Cruisin' Lightning McQueen and Piston Cup Trophy. The Mater tin contains Tokyo Mater and Tractor.
