Thanks for posting, OP, but this is still $350 overpriced, even for an old TF fan like me with disposable income available for this kind of amazing garbage.
this is a TERRIBLE PRICE for this product.

Who on earth is spending $600 on a children's toy with an extra step? You can get a PS5 with God of War FOR LESS MONEY than this thing.

The Lego Optimus that manually transforms is a way better option in terms of entertainment value (time) vs cash. You would, at most, play with this for an hour and then put it on a shelf.

FOR 600$!

BUY A PS5! BUY A NEW TV! Pay for intimacy! all things a way better use of half a grand.

People spend several thousand dollars on a single Transformers statue, this is not overpriced in comparison.

What's the extra step? You have an app that allows it to transform on its own and do multiple things, as well as allows it to be used as a remote control vehicle. Do you not realize there are regular Transformers action figures that cost a few hundred dollars (Masterpiece collection).

In comparison, a fully functional robot for $600 isn't that bad. And if you are paying for intimacy, you have bigger things to worry about than this.

I just got my bill for my colonoscopy. It was more expensive than a PS5 and this Transformer COMBINED. Being a 90s kid in my 40s sucks.
