So they’ve been doing it a while then? AFAIK, there aren’t any sets that retail over $1000, so it’d be a discontinued one.

Not sure what is the most expensive one that hasn’t been discontinued yet but they’re still selling that Millennium Falcon one for $850, right? Add in sales tax (which is over 10% in some counties in California) and it’s certainly getting close to $1k.
