  1. I’m 30 years old! Why do I want this?! But I do!!! Nooooooooo!

  2. Is it available in EU?

    • I’ll try and find out mate

      • Thanks, if it is available, its the most expensive game collection ever!

  3. Ooh. Excuse to buy my son an rc car when really its for me!

    • Exactly my intentions too. “Yes harry it is yours, but daddy needs to test it out for a couple of weeks.”

  4. This is getting a bit silly now. Expecting Armored Core to come with a full size Mech.

    • I don’t mind buying that xD

    • I wouldn’t mind buying that either

    • With working weapons systems obviously :P

  5. “Multi-Function knob” – He he

  6. That is insane, would really wnat it (I loved buying Limited Edition) But don’t think I can afford!
    *cries*

  7. the price is a bit er……pricey isnt it? lol, Could get 6 $50 hookers fot that! ;)

  8. for that price you get an electric rc car?
    you could probably buy the game and a nitro car for that money.

  9. Just googled the RC car. The car alone is $550 dollars from the official traxxas site – ouch.

    • A bargain then.

    • Just done a quick search for the car and the cheapest I could find in the UK was £260.

  10. That does look nice, but can you Imagine smacking it into a wall on your first attempt at driving the thing before some in depth Jambo tuning has been carried out on it :(

    • If been wondering if I give Jambo my car for a tunning session he can make so that I can get to work 5 minutes faster?

      • Even Jambo can’t get rid of morning rush hour traffic jams!
