The kit is a step above your typical Bandai & Frame Arms Girls kit as far as complexity. The instructions are in English, but they don't hold your hand with warning signs or details. Don't skips steps ahead of the instructions or you're guaranteed to fuck something over later down the line.
The thicker plastic was murder on my cheapo nippers. The blades are now very dull and I need to get a new pair now. At least something better than what I was previously using.
I noticed that Hobby Lobby has recently refreshed their budding import robot model kit section with TF kits. (Rumor is that Bandai is have distribution problems, so Hob Lob went with Flame Toys to fill those post-xmas empty shelves.) They have Megatron, Starscream, Optimus Prime, and Bumblebee kits. Sadly, Hob Lob has gotten rid of their weekly 40% coupon. But often they have 40% off their model kits. At least one week out of the month, so be patient.
