My brother asked me about this one over the weekend. Kind of a cool toy as far as what it can do, but still an easy pass for me. I do love transformers, but I've never been a fan of gimmicks in the line (aside from headmasters). I'm also really not a fan of app-driven products because support typically ends after a few years and then it's largely useless. I do see this one has voice recognition as well which may help with that, but it's also not clear that everything that could be done in the app can also be replicated with voice commands. MY toy collection also tends to remain pretty static in terms of posing...so lights, voice, transforming, etc is not something I'd use with any regularity.
 
$700

Do you guys think it’s worth it :slap

Probably not. But I couldn’t help myself. I’ve been preordering Queen Studio pieces non stop recently, so what’s another few hundred dollars :dunno

And depending on how many are actually produced and if it’s truly sold out, part of me wonders if this is one of those things that would’ve ended up in a bargain bin given enough supply.
 
It's pretty damn amazing and I would love to get it, but......what's to say that two or three years into owning it, one of the 5000 components breaks or malfunctions and you're stuck with a big red and blue brick that you can't even transform manually if you wanted to. It's not like you can drop him of at a repair shop.

I wonder if this is how Cyberdyne Systems started? :lol
