It's a waste to bother saving for him for two reasons.

A) He's not that good, CERTAINLY not good enough to warrant anywhere near $3000

B) If he ever comes up for purchase for any number of coupons it will be when he is 1000% useless in the game

Anyone who bothered spending for him is basically just showing off their money, his chase is the only thing worth a * because it hits super hard but if you don't have the power to back it up like these whales do he'll be less th*eless to you.
