Expensive Robots: Plen the skateboarding robot

I will give you one guess where this expensive robot comes from…you got it Japan where a lot of the latest tech comes from (will this ever change).
Plen the skateboarding robot seems a lot of money for what he is, but saying that I have never got my hands on one (if you have, you must comment).
For $2,000 you can get yourself a Plen skateboarding robot which you could have skateboarding round your office entertaining you while you get no work done as you play all day (sounds fun).
Or you can take a seconds option which is to just watch him Here and save yourself $2,000.
