I like this casting and all...I like it a lot...but the hype that has gone up over this one is as bad or worse than the Drag Bus. I never saw a single "regular" issue in the Classics series, every one I've ever seen have all been the "hunt" versions of the Classics series, so I don't even know if any regulars were even made. It went from there immediately into promo and special editions, so the chances of this one ever being in the mainline are slim and none.

I'll stick with the Long Shot.

I echo this.

Same story for the Blown Delivery BTW.

Yes, but as an RLC exclusive, that to be expected to some extent. The Convoy Custom on the other hand, was *supposed* to be a mainline issue, or just a step above. I'm not sure if collector frenzy got out of hand on this one and Mattel just ran with it, or if Mattel deliberately fuelled the fire, either way this casting is out of reach of normal people, at least for now. Maybe with a bit of time prices will settle down to a sane level.

The Blown Delivery was made to be and likely will remain a very high end premium piece, although I do agree the aftermarket run up on the price of that one is just stupid.
