That's because anything 3-D will be custom made. Catan doesn;t actually make/sell them, they are just nerdy fans working tireless hours for their hobby.
My brother has been making a 3D version of the board and the work involved to make it look decent is pretty staggering, messy and time consuming. Basically, each individual piece is molded by hand and carved, baked, painted, varnished, etc...
Unless you have a kiln and a few child laborers, $1000 seems pretty much right for me.
