I guess all that paint might rub off onto other models. The model is so sad that even the eagles on his back pack look depressed.

If that barrier ever breaks then it will spread the horror of it's own existence, creating an army of tiny plastic men who have been subjected to this fate. That day is the one when wargaming as we know it will cease to exist.

Does anyone wonder if auctions like these are actually GW and not just recasts? The seller's entire stock is new on sprue stuff and without the box. How could there be that big of a demand for just boxes? Just sounds like you're not actually getting a GW product and instead getting a lie.
Most of them are broken up army box sets. You pay $150 or so for an army starter kit, break it up into individual units, make a few bucks profit and don't have to pay for shipping a large box (they normally just pack them in padded envelopes. Alot of online game stores do that.

If that is a genuine 1979 Falcon he's painted over he probably could have just sold that, bought an actual T.hawk and had change.
