I admit I jumped upon initial release and ordered mine, and I have no regrets. I would do it again, regardless of production numbers because I am an Earnhardt collector. Period. Of course, in this particular instance, I was rewarded with two good serial numbers-- #2 of the white gold and the door number of the platinum. Of course, as another member would say ([MENTION=175]NEW2[/MENTION]), they all look the same sitting on the shelf, but the door number makes me happy.
I knew they were going to over produce this car, and I also knew they were going to produce too many finishes. I guess in the end I really don't care though, because I got the cars I wanted for my collection. It's just a shame that over 50% of the stock is still sitting in their warehouse. It just goes to prove that Lionel is making the same mistakes (or even more) that their predecessors did. ([MENTION=103]moparbob[/MENTION])
