YotD reds is only available with pink LED. Black has green LEDs. If you want other colors, it is Shine II.

The Year of the Dragon editions have a certain color LED available to only that type of switch.

Cherry MX Red: Purple LED
Cherry MX Black: Green LED
Cherry MX Blue: Blue LED
Cherry MX Brown: Yellow LED

The DK9087S2 (Shine 2 tenkeyless) comes in all sorts of colors and switch combinations.  The exact ones, I'm not sure.  You can easily find the combination you want though. 

However, if you still want the Year of the Dragon (I would, just because the lighting effects are that much cooler), there one on sale on eBay for $189.99.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ducky-9087-Dragon-year-edition-LED-backlit-mechanical-keyboard-cherry-MX-Red-/300801131841?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item4609250541

Mechanicalkeyboards should also stock them.  Good luck :)
