Rarity of Lava

[Anson Cheung]

I just got an Astrobaby - it's clear/white(opal)
How rare is it?

[Tim Gill]

Its quite rair - the opel wasn't made for an Astrobay speficilky but there was a opel astro and melenium telstar made which has a opel bottle so the bottle could come from this or the astro.

[Dr. WHAT?!]

Hey Tim didn't they do a limited release with these? I have a clear/white astro that I got a couple years ago I thought they had them in astrobaby as well.

[Tim Gill]

Mabie - though I havent heard this, it wouldent surprise me if they did a limited run of opel astrobabies as they had made clear / white astros and the 2000 telstar.

Do these have the discolouring problems?

[Dr. WHAT?!]

This wasn't too long ago maybe 2008-09?, definitely not in 2000 when they released the millennium lamps.  I thought they released a astrobaby version too but dont remeber. Here is a picture of my astro. It's still going good and looks amazing. no discoloration.

Here's the packaging: It look gray and 'metallic', on the top it has a picture of a Telstar, Jet, Astro and Astrobaby.

Also, Dr. WHAT, what colourway is your Telstar above? looks really nice and I once saw it in a shop - but was too afraid to ask. They said it was an Opal, but I never believed them.

[Dr. WHAT?!]

The telstar is orange/clear but I was told it they didn't make a orange/clear so it could've been a purple/orange at one time and the purple faded.

Our store has the same color too! But they aren't willing to sell it. 
Things that make you go HMMMMM...

[Dr. WHAT?!]
