It's been out for a while, and is actually pretty neat.

has anyone actually seen one ?

Yes.

Here's one of our earlier reports -

and one from our visit to the labs at Tsukuba a few months ago-

how much does it cost ?

Around USD $5,000 or so. The special force sensors in each foot run $500 each and tend to break pretty easily.

It is, though definitely not for beginners or casual experimenters.
