  You better stock up, because that's the GREEN LED version.  If you look
closely at the price, that's a special closeout price, they're normally
$27.99 and as you scroll down the page there is a notice that the GREEN
version is only going to be available for a short time.

  I've been buying the YELLOW version, which is also $27.99 normally,
but is currently on special for $24.99.

  Yeah, those facts have a way of sneaking up on you. :)
