Hmmm... if it was around $300 I'd consider it because I'm a crazy person.
Edit: Just read that it's 29,800¥, or about $246. THAT'S tempting; going to try to find a way to import this now...

That's the cost of the half-scale arm Collector's Edition in Australia, fuck that.
@captain_felafel: oh that's not bad. I read that it was more than that

Well I've been digging around on import sites, and all of the ones I've run across so far are charging around $450-$500 sadly. A ridiculous markup, not going to pay that.
@captain_felafel: So what you're saying is they're selling an arm, but charging an arm and a leg? :D
...I'll see myself out...

Now you're just pulling my leg!
It won't be long before doctors strongarm us into getting actual bionic arms, just to have a leg up our sleeve!
Oh, shit!? That's the size....(inb4thatswhatshesaid)
I placed my pre-order thinking it was going to be a decent size. The arm looks like some cheap toy from a happy meal.

My thoughts exactly. Seriously considering cancelling my Amazon pre-order.
Thankfully the arm isn't the main draw for me. I just hope that the making of is like the Metal Gear Solid 4 Gene documentary. If I don't get this, I won't be that bummed out and hope that the making of is released to YouTube.
It's not super small if you compare it to Kojima's arm. I think the full-size arm is a bit closer to the camera in that shot.
That said, wait 5-6 weeks and buy it on eBay, if you still want it by then.
It looks super small because it's not just length that's half scale. All three dimensions are cut in half, so it's actually about an eighth of the volume.
I read somewhere that the NA arm is 23cm. I'm happy with that size, it's only going to collect dust on a shelf.
Can't wait to bring a lady home and show off my prosthetic baby arm
if ya know what i mean
sorry
try the veal
bye
@stokes: Hang your keys off of it. That's what I plan on using it for at least. Maybe hold one hat.
