MIGHTY SMAUG THE GOLDEN - a limited edition mini that looks good alongside TIAMAT?

There's only 200 of them - the limited edition SMAUG miniature from Games Workshop. It's designed for use with The Hobbit Strategy Battle Game, but of course you can use it in any tabletop game which features large dragons. "This magnificent 42 piece miniature is hand cast using the highest quality resin (the same used by Forge World), and the most advanced techniques to produce a model with extremely fine detail. Every scale, horn and battle-scar has been expertly reproduced to create a beatifically authentic collectors piece."

The miniature is called Mighty Smaug The Golden. Weighing in at 2.4kgs, the height of the miniature from the bottom of the base to the tip of Smaug’s™ wing is 8.4 inches (or 21.4 cm). The base is 9.2 inches (or 23.1 cm) long and 5.4 inches (or 13.3 cm) wide. Apparently the 200-limit is "this side of Christmas" so there might be more next year. I found the info on this website, though I wasn't able to find the price. Also, does anyone know Tiamat's exact dimensions? It would be fun to compare them for size.

The video below shows off the model in more detail.

Is it bad that when I see expensive gaming stuff I think of how many Dwarven Forge tiles that will buy me?

Nah, I look at most expensive gaming stuff and think of it in terms of textbooks. Smaug is my next semester's order of textbooks and some maintenance done on my car. Not going for that, though it would be awesome looking on a shelf somewhere.
