California dreaming?

So I'm curious are the recent sell outs (all west coast releases--aside from the Chicago ALFs) of what are essentially repaints--no 'new molds'--because of the lower production numbers, unique colors, or is it because the west coast collectors are finally getting rep...

Does North Carolina recognize out-of-state marriages done on "Red" Mondays?
