What Daniel said is exactly what happened to me. When the GGB came out I concentrated on getting the gold version, only because it was gold, and fluffed off the painted version because it wasn't a lighthouse. In August, as I was checking the last product list that HLs put out against my collection I realized I hadn't bought the painted version. Since August I have been looking and not finding it. It may in fact be harder to find amoung collectors then the gold version is.
