Other than color & registration I see NO difference in the 3 Bees I posted above.

What am I missing??

An example of one diff beyond colors: Look at the helmet stripe in the photo I posted.
one is black/white/red/black/white/red while the other is black/red/black/red/black.

I imagine that it is the law of diminishing returns to reproduce the minor diffs and IMHO unless you are looking for the diffs they are too close to notice.
