Hot Wheels - RLC versus Convention Datsun Bluebird 510

So I've showcased the still-carded Convention 510 here.  At the time, I wasn't 100% that I was going to uncard it, but as the RLC came closer to me by mail, I figured I will uncard it, and I can share little side-by-side in one post.  Here we go:

Lowest number I've ever gotten from RLC(Red Line Club).  I am a member, and I paid $14.99 + shipping(combined shipping w/another car was $7.95).  This site is notorious for glitches & thanks to that, I was robbed of a duplicate, and honestly, I feel lucky to even have one.  :(  At least the car looks nice:

And here we go with the Convention car.  First 510 to be released with the opening hood(RLC was released just days later).

I fancy the chrome finish of the RLC engine bay more.

Honestly, I thought I'd end up liking the RLC version a lot more, but man, Convention model's nice.  510's been done to death, but I ended up liking both of these.  It still doesn't touch the BRE versions by RLC, or the Vintage Racing though.  :p
