Yah, that's the one. I've got a pic of it at home, I'll see if I can overcome
lethargy and put it online somewhere.

I agree, the model is probably priced about right for what it is (although
TLG's cost of bricks is going to be much lower than an AFOL's).
I just don't think it's *worth* that much. I mean, given 10 grand to spend on
Lego, I think I'd spend it on clearing the inventory of a few select stores
rather than a single, glued-together statue of a bad guy. ;)
