I applaud you on the purchase!
Pondering it myself...pondering quite a bit.
Definitely the coolest toy ever, folks need to spend the 8 minutes to watch when Jay & Silent Bob introduced it.
Robosen's own robots sell for around $400 USD, so this being Optimus Prime with Hasbro + Peter Cullen's voice justifies what the asking price is.
It's a very technically advanced product, I would expect Robosen to put in maximum effort into quality control for their first major launch and many of the components like the chips used might have a shortage due to the demand from so many industries.
Doubles as the best toy ever and potentially an investment!
