You know, you've got to wonder if these VF toys will eventually become so accurate that engineers could actually use the drawings to build a full size one Smile As an engineering student myself I know that giant robots are essentially impossible, but it's still fun to imagine it.

46$ seems surprisingly cheap for what is inevitably going to be a very complex (and probably fairly delicate) model.

Since it's from Bandai, I'd expect a lot of snap-fit parts and assembly required. Their VF-25s are about ¥3,600 which isn't far off.
