“It contains Photok, an orange Matoran of Light with two Power Blades and a jet pack. He can connect to 8687 Toa Pohatu or 8690 Toa Onua.”

“I don't think Photok's worth $6 USD, but the orange Toa feet are quite enough to make one want to buy him. Unless you want to get him in order to combine with Pohatu and look spiffier than you might think they'd be together. Either way, it might be more in your interest to... More wait a while and pick him up on sale.”
