I'm not seeing it. Maybe it's a defect of the price tag that happens to
correspond to the reflection?

That's because it's not a plastic-glued-to-cardboard blister pack. The
plastic is formed so that the cardboard back can slide in and out, making
the package recloseable. Very useful when you only need one Yoda eye.

Didn't Ken do a good job on this? :)
The thing started with the MichLUG crew going on a bit of a feeding frenzy
with the Yoda Sculptures being clearanced at Target. A good number of these
sets were bought as 'earth tone bulk brick packs'. I suddenly had a need
for white/gray bionicle ball joints, so I asked if anyone had any spare
"Yoda eyes" that I could buy or trade at our meeting. So Ken showed up at
the meeting with his custom-made "Yoda Yoke/Socket and Eyeball Set". :) It
definitely got a big laugh from everyone. :) :)
