Well, I paid just over $200 for him, since I went for the SDCC version, and I don't regret it. But go into buying him with the right expectations. I was initially a bit disappointed, because, frankly, he's not as good a toy as Metroplex, who of course he is retooled from. His transformation is a lot more simplistic than Metroplex's already not terribly taxing one. Both of his alt modes are pretty much just Fortress Maximus lying down with his limbs splayed a bit differently depending upon which alt mode you're going for.
But he quickly grew on me. He just looks so damn good in robot mode, and the alt modes are fun to pose other figures around. And Cerebros is a fun figure to fiddle with, too.
Keep in mind that, as I said, I went for the SDCC version, so if you buy him at TRU, his deco will be a bit different, and he won't have the sword. But still, even the TRU version should be a nice addition to a collection if you have any interest in the character.
