    For multiple obvious reasons, I wouldn't dare pay that kind of price for any kit, even if it's a nice looking custom job like this. Anyone who would, like the buyer, has clearly gotten a few screws loose. You could buy a lot more important things for that kind of money than a pretty plastic display piece.

    That aside, there's a story going around that the modeller spent ten months working on this thing. I find that very hard to believe, but it is obvious that the modeller really put a lot of time and patience with this kit to make it look as good as it does. I'm really digging the reflective rainbow effects in the fin funnels.

    Also, couldn't GG have used a better source for this info than a site like SanCom? This story itself is fine, but SC is a very tasteless hentai site, and anyone who wants to look at it with that source will be bombarded with porn ads and possibly give your computer a virus or twenty. Kotaku has covered the same story, and while I have no doubt that that site has its own faults, I find it to be a far better and more tasteful site for info like this.

      Don't joke please, Sanaku complex is a million times better than the likes of Kotaku, for heaven's sake.

      @Anon 6:08 : You don't get art do you? If we think with our common sense, why would we even buy "toys" in the first place.

      Really, it's like asking someone why an abstract painting could sell for thousand dollars.
