'Pro painted' has become one of those meaningless platitudes that seems to be used more often than not for anything being sold painted on ebay.
Another common one is 'doing some commission work', which is more often than not used on forums to describe painting a couple of marines for a mate who can't be arsed to do it himself..

That is really cool. Looks very back heavy though, I would be afraid of it breaking.

Well orks aren't the best at driving so they need a tug every once and a while... but yeah that's a ridiculous amount.
Guess they wanted to take ownership over the piece by being sure they did a little addition. What I'm more concerned over is that purple nonsense between the drivers

This set has been professionally painted by a professional-type painter (rather than dipped in primer and drybrushed, like most "pro-painted" models).
Professional-type painter.
Could this be the new "Pro Painted?

Yes. The box set goes for mint, especially if still wrapped and complete. I still kick myself for not ensuring that my set stayed together.

I would love to play it again... Maybe I'll just have to buy it separately. Although that could work out to be just as expensive...

The issue, I believe, is the cardstock items in the game. People like me who left and came back later lost theirs or let them get damaged, whilst people who cared for them are the sort that don't want to sell, so they're fairly rare, especially a full set. Add in that the printable versions are slightly harder to come by, if you're into that, and it made an already pricey aftermarket product even more in demand. The ships aren't even as cheap online as they used to be.

This is getting close to once again something we're trying to NOT have going on here - the whole "pointing and laughing" thing.
Is it unavoidable?
Should these threads be locked immediately, shot on sight?

My personal view is that a thread like this to show off odd and unique stuff is great. I saw some pretty cool and odd things I found funny yet enjoyable that i would have never gotten to enjoy without this thread. I do think maybe it might be a good idea to make it a rule not to include listings that have 'pro-painted' in them just for the sake of laughing at them.
