It's completely in line with the #3723 Lego Mini-Figure at $149. Consider
the cost of a 7 foot tall minifig. That's around 75x the volume of 3723,
which puts the cost over $11,000. Of course, we'd all love it if the 3723
and Darth were scaled up from the price of the blue bulk tub -- which would
put them at 1/5th the cost -- but Lego doesn't work that way.
