I may get one or two for personal use but am in no hurry as it's listed at Costco.ca and similar to the BWE will likely be listed below retail price for some time canibalizing all other retailers and resellers until retirement.
I know you get more of than normal power functions with this RC set which helps explain the price difference but for me the IR is useless as are the m motors. As a technic builder I look at this set and only like some of the new red pieces, the red #3 connector, the new blue panels and the black panels. The big wheels are nice too for those who didn't get their fair share with the Claas. Everything else is common and the a/b models are below average as well. Definitely not something I would want to display.
My $0.02.
