Maybe this is the rare "Assocuated" version. Oh and the 15th anniversary edition.

Ok, so I haven't posted on this since the first page- and I've been trying to stay away from it. But since this has taken so much attention I might as well add my .02-

Rod is correct, and if he's not....then the people steering the business are DWI. Listen, "rarity" "limited production" this is a new release, give me a break. Take the blinders off and see it for what it is, a very neat chance to open up a gold tub short arm car and build it. If anyone thinks that this is going to be a "rare" piece, I suggest you see your doctor about changing your prescription toward reality.

Anyone know what happened to the Hotwheels market for vintage pieces both NIP and OOP? As soon as HW realized the secondary market was there they flooded it with new releases, then when legitimate factory goofs became "rare" then they started goofing on purpose so guys would buy all or multiples of all cars. Then they Re-Re'ed and now cars that would fetch 30-200 fetch one tenth of that if your lucky. However, the gold at the end of the rainbow is that lots of guys got to play with a Re-Re of their favorite car from childhood! But, they were mostly manipulated by the manufacturer that marketed a rush demand for "limited" releases, which means limited to however many they can sell.

I don't specifically care about the Re-Re RC10, nor have I ordered one...believe it or not, I have enough RC10's. I think it's awesome that guys that don't have enough of them are able to get one so reasonably, and support parts to boot! The idea of a vintage series racing venue with old tires in modern compounds is wicked cool. I really hope it takes off.

Don't buy into the hype. If your a member here and a genuine vintage enthusiast, you should have learned patience by restoring cars by now, and have a little common sense to boot.
