Too many LEs, but..
I used to be crazy for every LE released...till two years back...I got really cynical. Not I m back to classic RO...not ROO, and just a bumblebee and a a older ROO will do. I was rubbishing AP for this unlimited limited edition issues, when I realized one thing...if I own AP, I would do similar!!! I have since grudgingly accept that these LEs are never going away, but it may actually be useful in converting more non ROO owners and also suitable for someone at different stages of watch collecting. So one with a black theme may decide to "upgrade" to a RB2 for example. And also at those LE prices, they compete indirectly to some funky independents like the Urwerk example quoted above.
Good luck with your hunt.

Good design, is good design.
I faced your concerns head-on when I reviewed the AP ROO Montauk earlier this year. As I said then, iterations like the Montauk will come and go, with some variations on color, material, or slightly modified features being more/less successful than others...
eames...
you must love the eames chair. didn't you make that very comparison in the montauk review? i think i actually read and enjoyed that, as i do that particular roo. the powder puff blue just says "fun" to me. that is one thing about some of the roo variation...
Did. Once upon a time..
Can anyone still keep track the total number of ROO versions made using same body, soul with just different clothes and make-up on? 50s.. 100s?? Seems to me like AP themselves are confused now as to which dial, pusher, color, material etc. goes into which...
