The 510 had already been released as a premium in the 2011 Vintage Racing series. However, that (along with many other premium lines) had already been canceled, and Mattel rarely releases heavily detailed authentic liveries in the regular $1.00 line. So where would the BRE 510 appear? ... Red Line Club of course.
Here it is!
What does the BRE Datsun 510 RLC neo-redline entail and how does it compare to the vintage racing version? First off unlike the vintage racing version, it will not be fusion decaled but fully tampo printed. Mattel’s also used a new chrome paint process to be paired with red spectraflame paint (think Christmas ornament). The base is chromed metal as well and, because it has neo-redline wheels, the chassis will have suspension and nylon bearings!
Many will prefer the replica look of the vintage racing version, but for those who also like the classic redlines of yore and their nostalgic appeal, this will surely be a hit. It definitely looks great with the RLC Datsun 240Z in same livery.
