Buying a Gundam

Have you ever thought of buying a Gundam? No, not those 1 inch plastic figurines! I’m talking about the real deal! Well, for those that had you better start saving (for a few lifetimes), because it’ll cost you 750 million dollars or 80 billion yen. That’s more than the GDP of some countries! Not to forget that the amount doesn’t include the labour required to build the mecha, the cost of maintainance and of course the weaponry. Well, the Japanese are definitely not building Gundams anymore, that’s for sure!

You can check the full list of cost on Pink Tentacle, which also includes a detailed explanation for all you engineering enthusiasts. According to SciencePortal, the most expensive part would be the Gas turbine engines (GE) that will cost 52 million each!
