I'm not 100% positive, but I do know that

RC2/Ertl did purchase the Anson molds several years ago, so I think there is only one Y-Job mold out there.

Truman, it's the same model, same mold. Prices have dropped a bit on this. Now is the time to buy.

Circa $120 in the US, a bit more from Europe

Truman, eBay "sold" listings confirms that c. $65 + S/H seems to be average. I'd say, if you can...

..snag one for less than $50 then that would be a deal.

Again, these prices are lower than they were about 18 months ago.

Ertl did buy Anson in 1996 and made some models using the anson tooling.
