Nikon might as well start a GoFundMe account since anyone buying this would effectively be donating money.

Yes, but...

"....and comes packaged with a unique collection of the 22 individual lens elements on a customized display stand."

A limited run collectors item is priced higher than the normal one, includes a display of the lens element structure, and is targeting an extremely small market - surely that doesn't actually surprise anyone

Collectors buy expensive stuff all the time that may seem silly to you or I, but I don't see why that is a problem. Don't like it don't buy it.

I am more than happy to acquire used lenses and camera bodies and I have done so since I was 7 years old purchasing a used Agfa rangefinder. When ever I have lenses or bodies that I have not used for 6 months I move them on. I am the opposite of a collector but many people love their collection of cameras and lenses. I am sure limited run will appeal to those collectors and no different than Leica with limited or special edition items.

I have seen many of these collections and very much appreciate them, but it is not my desire or intention

Not a chance. I can't imagine why anyone, even if they were loaded, would spend a nickel extra for a 100th anniversary sticker and a strange colored lens.

Let's see a D820 or a Df2 at "regular" prices.

I think lots of people were expecting exactly that or something at least innovative instead of anniversary stickers.

+ 1. I, for one, think the two-tone gun-metal grey & black finish is ugly.

Again, it's not just a sticker, you do get some fancy little lens element display thing with it, and it's a serialized collector's item. I have no idea though if it's plastic or real lens elements. Color obviously is subjective, and nobody is forcing anyone to buy. If I reached 100 years of anything, I think I would probably want to commemorate it somehow.

An extra grand or so for a 100th anniversary edition is a steal compared to what some collectors pay for some far less valuable stuff:

Also their anniversary isn't until July 25th, they still have plenty of time to announce a new camera. Nobody is going to remember a standard, scheduled, camera release as marking their 100th anniversary anyway - but I do hope we see a D850 around then!
