I enjoy building models, and I enjoy transformers, so this seemed like a no-brainer. The end result looks great, but assembly was (for me) a headache. There were times when it was hard to tell which hole a given tab was supposed to insert into. Many of the fittings are very snug - enough so that in many cases you don't even need glue; the downside is that some of the pieces are very thin, even by the standards of a model kit, leading to concern about snapping them (which did happen in one case). One area you definitely want to use glue is the hands - I probably spent an hour crawling on the floor looking for one missing fingertip or another. The joints are the standard design you would find in a Bandai kit, but they aren't quite strong enough to support the weight of the limbs, so I'm not going to be trying any of the poses shown on the box. You'll need to be particularly careful of the peg and rubber gasket that connects the waist to the abdomen. If the peg slips out, it's a major pain to get back in because of all the chest pieces that are in the way of your fingers for a better grip. So, while the end result is fairly satisfying, it's not enough so for the price tag.
