Customers may place only one (1) order per die-cast offered. Duplicates will be eliminated.
-
Are there any other unique policies to any of the specials?
-
Yes. While it is the intention of RCCA® that products be sold to individual collectors and not for purpose of resale, it is understandable that from time to time a collector may sell or trade some of their cars to update their collection with new items. However, RCCA® strongly discourages the resale of Thunder and door numbered cars within the first ninety (90) days after shipment. RCCA® will be tracking these die-cast identification numbers. If it is reported and confirmed that one of these cars has been re-sold within the initial ninety (90) day time frame, the offending member may be prohibited from participation in future Thunder and door numbered car programs.
