I'm still on the fence about keeping him since the $100 price is steep especially since the MFT one I got was like $35... What do you guys think?

I find that the 100$ price tag is really a great example of the overpricing and the figures themselves are SMALL, probably the smallest "deluxe" in this series, and the extras for the single figures is just not enough the balance the price.
But as much as I hate to say it, I still got the set, and setting the price tag aside, I am enjoying it.
The one thing that really sold me with it is that the figure do have potential and many have showed alternative modes to combine them (as per my previous post of a combined ship mode).
The set's extra parts are excellent for the camera mode, but do lack options for the robots, the flash could have been made into a rocket launcher, and the black handle into wings, or better shield..something, anything)
Again, with just about all Siege, the empty sockets bugs me, a few things that would have been cheap and simple to do could have make this (these) toy(s) 10x better, but still.. the better quality plastic makes up in part for it.
I don't have the MFT set so I can't compare, but with Siege, my standard saying is "I don't regret having the figure, I'm actually very happy to have it, but I do regret that it did cost that much".
