That dude is buying from ckmodels.de, I guarantee it. If he thinks buying mass produced 1/18ths is hard, he should step into my world. Nobody is being hit harder by Brexit than me, it's a wonder I can get out of bed in the morning.
(To be honest, I suspect Brexit might cost me my job this year, but given that we're in the midst of the apocalypse, I'm not terribly bothered).
