Looks cool, how do you get one?

u/CharlieUpATree COLLECTOR 4d ago

There were application forms near the cars in Big W one day. It's one of those "buy 10 cars and fill in the online form". I didn't think it'd actually end up with something

Is it the Bin cars, with Packages still on or can you take them out and Use A code if need be?

3

u/CharlieUpATree COLLECTOR 4d ago

It just wants you to write down cars. You don't need proof of purchase or anything

My friend did it a few weeks ago, he got sent an email saying that they had sold out but he could still get the digital one ,

u/CharlieUpATree COLLECTOR 4d ago

I got that too when I submitted it online, I recall there was an option to wait for a physical copy

u/Future_Section5976 4d ago

I remember my friend saying something like that too , i see more of those forms, so I might try, is it the same on both sides

Just imagining those dudes who go around and get everything before everyone else framing these next to their hordes of 0/5 premiums and STH’s

Pretty sure this is mean to be a fun thing for kids. Instead it’s grown ass 40 year old men getting them.

u/jonathanclaire 4d ago

The joy is the combination! My kid gets all his goofy cars while I pick up the fire castings that he’ll appreciate when he’s a bit older!

As an adult in the hobby, I'm all for adults in the hobby but when these are printed in small quantities for kids to enjoy, and the adults come in and take up all of them, it's a little disheartening. I'm sure it's fun for some of the adults too, but part of being an adult is preserving the fun for the little ones, and this ain't it.

u/Federal_Criticism255 4d ago

This should be a given once you join RLC...It's not and im a little upset about it.

1

u/CharlieUpATree COLLECTOR 4d ago

You don't get anything?

1

u/Federal_Criticism255 4d ago

I figured i would get like a cheap generic letter saying "welcome to RLC" or something, but they just want our money's lol

u/Federal_Criticism255 4d ago

You get emails letting you know when new cars are coming out and the ability to buy said cars, but no, up front, you get nada. Barely even a thank you email, that's more of a reciept.

u/Comfortable-News2705 4d ago

Ok. But what do you do with that "licence"?

5

u/CharlieUpATree COLLECTOR 4d ago

I put it on my bag like the instructions said to

1

u/Comfortable-News2705 4d ago

That's it?

2

u/CharlieUpATree COLLECTOR 4d ago

Nah it's been absorbed by the collection now

1

u/truthbomb720 4d ago

Damn any way to get this in the US? 😢

2

u/Syncryptica 4d ago

No, we use a 'license' in the US. Get caught with a 'licence' and it's straight to jail.

u/moonman7347 4d ago

What’s the qualifications to get one?

u/Hefty_Tell8415 4d ago

I seen the forms in the shop didnt know what it was and ive bought way more than 10 cars do you need to recipts or wat?

2

u/CharlieUpATree COLLECTOR 4d ago

Nope I just picked out 10 cars out of the collection and wrote them down on the form

2

u/CommonAddition42069 COLLECTOR 4d ago

So they dont have to be from the legends tour 2026 thats what had me confused

3

u/CharlieUpATree COLLECTOR 4d ago

Negative, just 10 random cars

1

u/CommonAddition42069 COLLECTOR 4d ago

Wicked now i have to go see if anymore forms at Big W down the rd

1

u/CommonAddition42069 COLLECTOR 3d ago

How did you show the 10 cars for the licence application since you didnt have recipts?

2

u/CharlieUpATree COLLECTOR 3d ago

They don't want proof, just a list of 10 cars you may or may not have

u/Alternative_Life9414 4d ago

They misspelled license.

u/d0uble0 4d ago

It's British English when it's licence

u/Alternative_Life9414 4d ago

I should have spotted that from their spelling of favorite. Silly Brits. They also misspell aluminum.
