There are at least 15 RLC Drops per year, spanning 1-3 weeks apart. There may be more than 15 RLC Drops in a year.

If your RLC membership expires during the calendar year, you must renew it prior to the next RLC Drop to continue to participate in Overdrive.

You may cancel your Overdrive subscription anytime by signing into Mattel Creations, going to “My Account” and following the cancellation instructions there. You may also reach out to the Mattel Customer Service to cancel your Overdrive subscription. The Sign-Up Fee is not refundable. Overdrive only allows RLC members to automatically purchase RLC-exclusive die-cast vehicles. Overdrive does not include RLC sELECTIONs or other made-to-order die-casts. Overdrive also does not include other non-exclusive RLC or Hot Wheels products, including Elite 64 and non-die-cast products such as accessories or clothing. If you subscribe to Overdrive, you must abide by the product purchase limit on the product description page. Any product that you purchase through Overdrive will count towards your overall purchase limit.
