Whether it's fans of Gundam Wing or Megas XLR, there are a lot of people who want to pilot their own giant robot. Yes, truly, we do dig giant robots, but we always wrote it off as one of those escapist fantasies that would never come to pass.
As it turns out, it very well could. There is a bona fide mech called the Kuratas that can be purchased...for $1.3 million dollars. Given what the thing can do, the high price tag is more than justified.
It's even armed! Not with real weapons of course, but it can fire water propelled rockets and comes equipped with BB guns that can fire 6,000 shots per minute. The robot stands 12 feet tall and has a cockpit in the chest where the pilot can control the machine.
You can read more about it here. It really is freaking cool and acts as further motivation for us working class people to amass large fortunes so that we can spend it on frivolous, yet still freaking cool indulgences like giant freaking robots.
