The Most Expensive Toy in Japan – $41,468

And you thought the Play Station 3 was overpriced.

How about a "Gundam Fixed Platinum?"

Japan's Ginza Tanaka and toymaker Bandai Co. unveiled a miniature of Japan's famous animated robot character – "Gundam."

The, um,  little fellow weighs in at a mighty small 1,400 grams (45oz) and stands 13cm (5") tall.

AND…he is made of pure platinum.

Aren't you glad it's just a miniature?

At today's prices, melted down, he would go for $41,468! 

And my wife wonders why I don't want any more kids.

What's the dumbest thing you think someone can make out of platinum?
