 It seems the Japanese are always one step ahead of us. This time it's the opening of a combination robot museum and department store.
The store plans on stocking about 1,000 different robot goodies, and will feature the Nuvo robot as its main attraction. In order to create a market for its expensive products, the store plans on targeting 40 year-old men (with an overabundance of cash) and anime junkies.
"We want to fulfill the dreams of people who adore robots, from children right up to adults," said a representative of Osaka-based firm Gyrowalk, which planned the store.
You'd best buy that plane ticket now, as the store opens in October of 2006. You wouldn't want to wait too long in order to purchase your robot themed cell phone strap.
