    Well, all you Mecha fans knew it was coming; they've finally made a REAL Gundam available to the public. Well, actually, it's more like a first generation Tatikoma, but hey. For $1.5M they'll custom build to your order:

    Yes, I realize it REALLY is a toy; but this is how it starts, boys and girls. Someone builds the toy, someone else buys one, then they improve on the design and before long there are competing manufacturers and then actual DEVELOPMENT begins. We don't HAVE to wait for the Quantum Leap like the Star Trek PADD/ iPad scenario; we won't have another Steve Jobs in my lifetime to push such a vision to completion.
