Yes, I would definitely feel white anted and royally pissed if I'd bought a "normal" Avatar.
Stern's marketing policies are becoming a bit suspect if not underhanded of late.
All the same, the LE version of Avatar seems to have a fair bit of bang for its buck, unlike most the other watery specials (Barring Spidey Black)
If I had the coin and could get a fair deal in Oz, I would be after one.
