I can only dream of having that much money to own something like that. I find it cool though.

Whoa that's too expensive for me, and that looks like it should be in a military testing rather then civilian uses.

I will agree with you on this.

It's worth noting that the Kuratas dropped in price since 2013, and is now 20 million yen cheaper.


Thank you first adopters. Now we can wait little bit longer for the price to go down.

Anybody died (or killed someone) from mis-operating one yet?
Or maybe lose a limb?

This is a expensive, but neat model kit - toy.

I wonder now that it's Diesel powered, it will actually be have horse power move faster than couple miles per hour it goes.

This is thing missing arms too, just bring down the price. I guess they don't have enough cash to mass produce and keep the prices down. then again, it would need be actually legally road capable to actually be more usable than a movable model kit you can ride.

I am really curious as to how the inside of that thing looks. Too bad it's so expensive. Imagine if this would be incorporated into military weaponry in the future. It would be amazing to see actual mechs on the battlefield. Then we could have a real life version of Code Geass or Argevollen. Laughing

The video they released two years ago shows parts of the cockpit:

I am wondering how different the new model looks.
