Couple the fiddliness with his super small stature makes him even more annoying. I'd suggest anyone on the fence do their research first.
All that said, he's a fantastic addition to a Legends class collection. But that all depends what he's going to cost. I honestly can't speculate how much this release would though.
I gotta say, this completely normal deco'd figure is a surprise though. I know people hate the weird "Year of" deco's, but I'm not a fan of this direction.

Why?
All past Year of the X mainliners have been some type of Optimus Prime. (with a few years having a side character, such as Soundwave, and Omega Supreme) Really the only one to be a general reference to the Year of the X it was released in was the Air Attack Optimus Primal Mold used for Year of the Monkey. But even he was an Optimus Prime.
No reason to expect such a deviation from the pattern at this point.

I agree. Not to mention that I thought they missed the boat by not using a Beast Wars mold, or perhaps creating a new one, to honor the Chinese New Year.

"Yet another" ? This series has only had one other standard G1 colored Prime at this point. Year of the Snake Energon Optimus Prime
