Yeah I don't understand it either, but there is. I guess people like to collect stuff like that before themanufacturerrecalls is, I guess. Then any that are left out there become rare. I didn't think this was going to be the case when I bought this RC car, but you never know... That's why I bought one. I coulda bought about 20 of them, but them I would have 20 cars that are no good to me lol
