About $20 million.
Did you really think someone wouldn't check you out - knowing your history? NPR says each prototype averages about $500,000.
Here's another one:

The estimated cost for the prototypes is between $2.4 and 4M

I haven't seen any article saying over 4 million.

How the frick does that 3rd picture make any sense?
Dunno. Could possibly be to allow animals to continue any possible land migrations/hunting. Just an idea.

Construction crews are erecting eight looming prototypes of President Trump's border wall in a remote section of the San Diego borderlands. Four are solid concrete; four are made of steel and concrete; one is topped with spikes. They all approach 30 feet in height. The cost is $20 million, which Congress had set aside in its current budget. Crews in yellow hardhats working with cranes and forklifts are expected to complete the models by the end of the month.
The additional costs are likely from site costs like lighting and security. The federal government might have also shipped in the cranes and some other heavy equipment that could be shared. In a full wall, that equipment cost would be spread out anyway.

Doesn't mean they are spending that much now does it? That was the question, what is the cost of building the eight prototypes, not the money budgeted for it.

Smoke screen for tax payers eat it.

You need details on how to throw a rope?
No.
But I am curious how the babies, toddlers, and young children will climb it!
I guess they can sit at the southern base and DREAM about it?

And they probably will spend the $20 million.

They should plaster this headshot of Trump on the wall every mile. Facing the Mexico side of course
It'll give them something to do, painting messages, horns, cocks and mustaches on him.

This wall has caused more melt with the libs than any other part of Trump’s agenda.

I choose to believe that CelticDog's sudden concern for the tax payers as a good thing, and not some dishonest theatrical political point!

How is anyone going to climb a rope that is simply thrown over a 30ft wall? Hell, I'd like to see mcwant climb an anchored rope vertically for 30 feet. He likely begged out of gym class so he likely has no idea how difficult climbing a rope straight up actually is.

Why is being truthful deemed sensitive to you? You lied about the cost being 20 million when asked how much the 8 walls cost.

Reduced lawn care and illegal votes would devastate their lifestyles.

Is this the wall that Mexico is paying for? Or was that all a lie?
Either way we save money considering illegal immigrants cost us $113 billion in 2013 alone.
You can't beat the ROI of building a wall
