Too young for this one, but didn't GW do this as a purchase option a few years back? Bit of a "We don't expect anyone to actually buy it, but put it for sale as a laugh", wasn't it something like £30k?

The Astartes Ultra box set. £7065 (I don't know if it was available third party with a discount). End of 2013.

Even though they are 1000 Marines in the Chapter, i feel that is not enough to be consider a good fighting force in Defence of the Realm of the Imperium of Man.
