Yeah, but will it still cut a tomato?  ;)

The statue is certainly not a kit, and will be glued.  I'm guessing that • FAO
is selling what were (or were intended to be) store displays.  If it's the

I never got up close to see that model.

You'd be surprised how much models like that cost - I've seen a couple
projects done independently by AFOLs and the cost of those alone (and we're
talking basic bricks) is incredible.  $10k sounds about right to me, maybe
even a little bit of a deal ;-)  Remember, you're also paying for design and
labor....
