All turquoise looks to be a trial version and on a post here somewhere. I've yet to find a yellow/turquoise in good condition - all seem to be well played with.

The all turquoise version seems to be yet another example of a preproduction leaking out of the factory with the initial release of the model to retail outlets. Usually such models are late preproductions. However, in this particular case, there are significant casting differences between the all turquoise version and the normal release.

Over the course of the last 24 months I believe that Ithere have been two on Ebay. The last one (lightly playworn) was bought by Harvey/Hardy for just over £100.
