I think sellers description is kinda funny:

"Please note , This is the 30 inches statue . Huge size . Not the 11 inches, or 6 inches. You are buying the Omega golden astronaut statue for the 50th moon landing anniversary. Never sell to the public, this 30 inches statue is the rarest size . Cause omega only give this size to celebrity,astronauts and employees of NASA. This is not the omega vip gift . Omega only give the 11 inches or 6 inches to their vip customers. Not this 30 inches. Even you spend over a million dollars a year at omega store . You won’t have chance to get this . This is the first time 30 inches list for sell. It may be your only chance to own this piece of history of omega . It’s perfect for store display or personal collections.100% authentic. No original box . Good conditions. Please review all the pictures for details. I will pack it in lots of protections and ship it very carefully. Please feel free for contact to me . Final sale. No return will accept. Thank you!"

Asking 5,500.00 USD and no original box... I'll pass. I don't need C3PO's kid hanging out in my entry way, besides I'd rather have the 6 inch midget to use as a paperweight on my desk... now that would be cool.

Seller obviously was not an English major. I have a feeling if I spend over a million dollars a year at an Omega Boutique, they'd give me that 6 inch paperweight.

He’s pretty clear in the description that this is the 6” version

Guys, if you needed to know how big 30” is, it’s about this much:

Good day! I do also have that Golden astronaut statue, how much does it costs? But mine is smaller. About 6" tall. Thanks

Have seen the 6 inch sell for around $300 and the 11 inch sell for around $550 lately on eBay.

As cool as it is, 5500$ for a tacky (plastic?) statue just seems wrong.
Possibly true, but there are oligarchs out there who spend millions buying second-rate English football clubs for reasons we can only imagine. Something is only ever worth what someone else is willing to pay for it.
