Question Is there a list of the PDN runs for each year?

[Edmang]

Searched but didn't locate one.

Is there a post somewhere that lists the various PDN runs by year and describes what made that run special?

Thanks

This brings up another question. Prior to the PDN offerings there were the LE (Limited Edition) models and then the BFR (Ball Family Reserve) models. Whatever you call them, they've each been special, limited offerings. It would be interesting to see a list of all of them over time. Maybe there was even some limited editions before the LE models but that would be before my time.

Great listing - buttercream is 2005 LE though - as stated above, 2006LE is black with gold hardware.

Worth mentioning the 2005-2008 LE models all have special cases.

There was also a BFR redwood edition Stingray - not sure what year.

The BFR Redwood run was from 2008.
