Exactly. I recently sold off about 1500 diecasts, keeping only my larger scale and Moon Eye pieces. I was never a fervent collector, I just bought the cars I liked (muscle and classic mostly) and the occasional sets if I could get them easily in store. I grew tired of the 'false economy' where hoarders would buy all of some random car out of a set and then ask 10X shelf price to the others who couldn't find what shouldn't be a rare car.

I was an RLC member a few times over the last 20 years or so. Being Canadian, a $20 RLC exclusive costs me around $50 by the time it hits my door so I rarely picked them up and found my membership largely a waste of money.

Hopefully they will use that 69 casting for a standard mainline or even in a premium set - either of which will be a fraction of the cost of this RLC gouge. It IS pretty though.
