Royal Selangor Yoda Pewter Statue

Thanks for actually answering my question. Part of my confusion was that I regularly buy plastic & resin miniatures that are very well crafted but yet cost significantly less than this.

This is a very old company who specializes in pewter products. As a right of passage, British style, I received a Royal Selangor pewter mug for my 18th birthday. If I was actually born in England it would make more sense because 18 is the drinking age. As an American, I thought it was kind of a cool novelty. Not to get too far into the weeds, this was quite a few years ago, beer does somehow taste better out of a pewter mug. I assume the metal is adding flavor to it. Long story short, beautiful pewter casting of a famous pop culture character. So, not only is there a manufacturing process that costs money, there is the Royal Selangor name brand mark up, as well as the fact that I assume it is a licensed product since it features Yoda. Is it gorgeous? Yes. Is it cool? Yes. Do you need it? No. This is a fancy decoration by a really old and respected company. Think of it as buying any piece of art. Very cool piece, in my opinion.

It's awfully similar to some posts on the artisan keycaps... '$30 for one keycap!?'. I personally don't own any of them, but I don't really think people commenting on the prices of things here adds any real value to the conversation, unless they are providing an alternative.
