So it looks like it's a "special" Automated edition. There have been a few of those over the years. I can't recall exactly, but I was offered a bally/williams that I thought was a combo never offered from the factory, and it was an Automated limited run.
I do agree though...it's getting beyond a little silly. Was originally supposed to be standards and ECLE's only. Now there are standards, LEs, RRs, Greens...kind of takes away from the "special" aspect. If the "limited" run you wanted is sold out, just wait for the next "limited" run.
