  The cost to build a Gundam
  
  Pink Tentacle summarizes a Science Portal article about how much it would cost to build a real Gundam. Their estimate, barring labor costs, special alloys, and any kind of flight capabilities: $725,000,000.

  if there's really mobile suits technology common in this world, the cost will gradually lowered because of mass-production lines.
  
  of cos, the cost listed above is for the prototype.

  If $725,000,000 can build a Gundam, then Japan and America already build one.
  
  I afraid even give them the money they also unable to build one Gundam, as powerful as in the anime.

  why build 1 when air strikes, nukes and arty are cheaper? Without flight i think its quite useless...

  given our current technology, it is impossible to build one gundam. but if you play front mission before, our current technology might be able to build those wanzer.
