ROTF Optimus lights color?

Is it just me or was I lulled to believe by the back of the box that primes eye lights and chest lights would be blue this time(as opposed to the yellow of the last movie toy)?
Instead their green eyes and a red chest? Huh? Anyone know why this is? And is there such a thing as being able to replace the lights for blue ones?

That would be more of a headache then it's worth! We're talking about tiny SMDs here and soldering and yeah... I wouldn't worry, although it would be nice to have blue eyes. I'm not messing up a $60 Prime just for me to f it up somehow in the soldering process.

I'm guessing the lack of blue lights in general is a cost thing. Odds are it's a lot cheaper to get yellow/red/green lights than it is to get blue ones. They did green with Magnus as well - odds are it's as close they can get without getting blue LEDs.

It would have been nice if they used blue lights, but honestly, I don't really care.

Yeah, it's not the end of the world, it's just that they have blue on the back of the box!

Indeed. If anyone has the know how about this stuff and changes theirs, it would be cool to know how it's done.
