It's really not awful. It's well-painted and nicely based. It's just terribly overpriced.
I was expecting a bowl of pudding for $100 and instead got a 4-star dinner for $1500. Overpriced still, but I wouldn't be upset if it were free.

I still think some of this type of stuff is money laundering of some sort.

It looks well painted, but the pics are that small(I can't enlarge them, which kinda suggests to me that its not that great) you can't really tell tbh. The light in the pic isn't great. I reckon the paint job is standard table top.
And the base front looks good, but totally spoiled by the back.

Down to more or less a 1/5 of the original price. Hey, can't blame the guy for trying to win big. If someone payed up the 1000,00£, it was becaused that someone wanted to

The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.

...Ookay, the head is on wrong and obviously metal doesn't come on sprues. Where's the blessed irony? Really, I seemingly tend to miss out on a lot of humour in this thread...
edit is it the " this item is in *excellent* condition" bit?

Pretty sure it's just the fact that the head is glued on upside down.
