I saw that in the newspaper today and I thought since most of you people like mechas I shall post this here.

Didn't we see some article about some guy in the States doing something akin to this first...and cheaper? I think the artic le's somewhere linked deep down in the graveyards of this forum.

That's not a gundam. A mech, yes. Gundam, no.

ME WANT.

Sweet. There was some guy in Alaska(or somwhere) who built a mech too. His only problem is he's $20,000 in debt. Poor guy, but you know when the tax collectors he can just blow them away. :)

I remember the article about the guy building a mech in his back garden, but I've never seen that before! It looks like fun. 🙂

Looking like that: anything it wants to.

Well, the mecha would shoot rubber pellets from its two guns. And: the guy who did it actually said that he tried to copy it from a Gundam mecha... but anyway - the interesting thing is that you can actually rent the thing for a day (or more, if you like) even though in this article is says nothing about that.

Wait a second, isn't 36 million Yen only, like, 40 thousand dollars?

Screw buying a car, I want one o' THEM.
I would look so boss "driving" downtown in one of those beasts.Plus if anyone said anything I could just shoot them in the face with its NERF Chaingun.

Damn. Just. Damn. Screw buying a nuke bunker or a vintage tank, I'm getting one of THOSE beasts!

All it really needs now to be complete is a missile rack so you can create your own parking spaces for it. 😀

'I'll beat you!'

Better start saving up.

36 million yen = US$333,451.21

I think you underestimated. =P
