^I completely believe that. And I don't think the price is unreasonable at all. Just . . . more than I can afford right now. I hope it goes to a good home.

I'm part of that group through my wife's fb account and Tim always lists great pieces at sensible prices. I concur that this is the case, as well, but it just came up for sale at the wrong time for me, too🙄

Maybe weirdly it's a piece I have no desire to own. I get why it is (in)famous but to my eye it is TOO big. It doesn't look the same scale as other Citadel figures of the time. The LotR Smaug is big, but it feels like it fits in. The chicken dragon's scales and detailing make it appear more like a 75mm piece. To my eye anyway.

That's an interesting observation. I'm quite obviously not familiar at all with the model and don't have a definite perception of its actual size, therefore this potential issue never crossed my mind.
I just love the fact that to my eyes it looks convincing as a dragon and from an aesthetic perspective I much prefer its old-school physiognomy to the current fashion of serpentine dragons with oriental-style heads.
Then come its rarity and almost legendary status and - dang! - I think I could really do something crazy in order to get one

I got to see one at Warhammer World, from which that opinion was formed. To me the Great Spined Dragon is the pinnacle of a beast that looks like it could actually exist.
