Remember hearing about it last year and totally forgot about it.

I might just order one shortly. 

Since you have one yourself, did you get the wifi dev board? Wonder if it's worth it or might as well graduate to playing with Kali + some Alfa adapter at that point.

For anyone considering buying one. 

* It is a geeky toy. You can have a lot of fun with it.
* It is a serious security tool. 

Its a great device to get to get you into pentesting. If you decided to do this professionally you will need to buy specialized tools but like many multi-function tools this thing is useful as a first device as well as an educational tool. I have one and haven't regretted getting it. You can install 3rd party firmare on it which unlocks even more functionality.
