Bachmann DD40AX Coupler Question

[spookshow]

I'm a bit confused re the coupler situation on the latest (DCC-equipped) version of Bachmann's Double-D. My understanding hitherto has been -

1st run - one-piece knuckles on the model and ala-carte Rapidos in the box
2nd run - one-piece knuckles on the model and ala-carte E-Z Mates in the box

All well and good, but today I got an email from a guy who said that his came with E-Z Mates on the model and Rapidos in the box. Is this a 3rd run? Or... what? Anybody else bought one lately?

Thanks!

I bought one in January that had the working EZ-Mate couplers on the locomotive and spare Rapido couplers in a little bag.

Hey Mark,

as you can see this is obviously alright by Bachmann. I also purchased a DCC doodlebug with couch and they both came with EZs and baged rapidos in the box.
Here in Germany we have an old speech, literally translated:

"Just one swallow doesn't make the summer yet"

Lets wait and see what comes next!
