Release Types
There is no official definition of these categories. Some (like RLC) are obvious, but others (like Premiums) are not as clearly defined.
| Mainline: Cars sold at/near a mainline price. These almost always have plastic wheels. Exceptions include Super Treasure Hunt cars. |
| Premium: Cars sold at a premium price. These almost always have rubber wheels and/or metal bases. Notable exception is Speed Machines. |
| RLC: Cars sold exclusively through Mattel's Redline Club, which requires a paid membership to purchase. |
| Mattel Creations: Cars sold on the Mattel Creations website, which does NOT require a paid membership to purchase. |
| Other: Everything that doesn't fit one of the categories above. |
