How does RLC™ Overdrive work?

  1. Automatically purchase the die-cast. If Overdrive members do nothing, they will automatically purchase the applicable die-cast vehicle and their credit card will be charged for the purchase price of the product plus applicable shipping, handling, and tax 2 days prior to the drop ; or
  2. Skip this particular die-cast via the process described below. To participate in RLC Overdrive, eligible RLC members must pay a non-refundable sign-up fee .
