I had no idea George was so talented.
"...  and only 30 copies will be made. Cast in bronze this little guy weighs in at a whopping 150 pounds! There are only less than 12 available out of 30 world wide! This is a must have for the Serious Star Wars collector! "
At $15,000 a pop, the purchaser sure better be a serious collector.  Could probably build a replica of an X-wing for that kind of money.  
Now think about this.  If each piece is licensed, then it has a serial number.  How is the thief going to unload that thing?  The theft is getting some national news attention.  LePaul, you better be digging a mighty deep hole. Could be awhile until the heat is off.
