The 1000 edition is the regular one, and the 750 edition is the metallic one. But I've seen a pic on ebay of a metallic figure in a 1000 box, so I was confused by it all, and didn't want to ebay it and receive the wrong one.
Anyway, I'm glad I waited, since both are now on HotTopic's website, and the 1000 edition is clearly the non-metallic version, so I ordered it. I also used that $30 off coupon, so it was a bit over $50, which was reasonable to me.
