RLC Pink Editions / “Party Cars”
Hot Wheels RLC Pink Editions — often referred to as “Pink Party Cars” by collectors — started as exclusive Red Line Club vehicles sold to RLC members at Nationals/Convention events. These were available at the RLC Party held on the Friday night at these US-based collector events. At the Collector’s Convention in 2018, the last RLC Party was held, and these became “Pink Editions” sold during the Nationals/Convention events in the souvenir room.
Additionally, early releases were available to Red Line Club members via the Virtual Vending Machine (VVM) sales events through HotWheelsCollectors.com. As of 2017, all releases were available both at the Nationals/Convention events and online through Mattel Creations to Red Line Club members.
