T1 pricing varies more than almost any humanoid we track. One source lists roughly $22,000; US channels quote from $29,800 for the Basic build up to about $50,925 for a Standard build with grippers, with resellers around $33,949 in between. The spread is configuration, not regional arbitrage — always confirm which build and whether hands are included.
