Default The Kyosho Javelin; Orange, Green & Yellow, which one is the rarest?

As the tittle implies, which Kyosho Javelin is the rarest? I know that the orange is definately not, but between the green and yellow which of the two is the rarest?

Green

or

Yellow

Is there another color apart from the three that came from Kyosho's factory??

I do own an orange Javelin, would like to get all three.... might never happen

I'm thinking they'd probably be as rare as each other. Personally, I've only ever seen orange ones myself.

I heard a while back that someone was considering making repro's of the Javelin cages, has anyone else heard about this?

I honestly did not follow Kyosho's track when they released the Javelin and Optima, I just liked them and played with my Optima all day long back in the day. This being said, my vote in favor of the green as the rarest is not quite as strong.
