You get what you get
It's not too bad. It's a glorified bundle deal so I'll leave impressions of the individual parts:
CTRL High Profile, Barebones Black $200
It's a bit hollow sounding, but it's not pingy so I don't feel compelled to mod it. It won't replicate the "thocky/marbly/creamy"-sounding boards you often see on YouTube and is loud as hell, but it's not that bad IMO.
The PCB only supports 3-pin switches and has north-facing RGB which is terribly outdated by enthusiast standards. Keyboard people will also hate on the integrated plate mount for being stiff and unswappable.
The dual USB ports are kinda funny; either works and the unused one functions as a USB passthrough. It's maybe useful if you have something that can plug into USB-C.
Artifact Shield Purple-on-Black, $60
I was a little scared of this one due to the top-centered font, as it gave me the impression that the doubleshot would be really cheaply done. It is a little true, as the line weight isn't very consistent, but it does have the double-walled construction that you would expect. I don't like the legends because it looks like a shine-through gamer set, complete with some slightly odd spacing ("F 11" and "CapsLock".)
Everglide Panda Stabilizers, $25
They're fine. In this board they come prelubed and the amount of rattle is low enough to be ignored.
Drop x Invyr Holy Panda, 90ct. $105
These are also fine. They come unlubed with minor contact leaf rattle and decent smoothness. The tactile bump is right at the top and has a medium weighting, with the end of the bump kinda blending into the rest of the key travel. It's not as defined as I'd like.
Preference aside, I do not feel like they're worth ~$1.15 per switch, especially now as the market has caught up and switches of similar/better quality tend to lay at around $0.65 or less. They're completely overpriced.
To be clear, these are solid switches and most people will be satisfied with them. It's just a bit much.
Drop Large Keyboard Soft Carry Case, $30
This seems to be decent quality. The inner lining is very soft and the outer material feels durable for the intended use. It's a slightly tight fit. But, if you don't plan on transporting your board everywhere, it's pretty useless.
Value & Conclusion
This all adds up to being $420, bundled and sold at $350 assuming everything is bought at full price. I think the non-exclusive case color and the more budget keycaps brings the value of this particular configuration down a little.
Because the cost of this board is more or less the sum of its parts, you better like what you're getting. The value proposition comes from settling with what you get, and swapping the keycaps and/or switches makes that fall apart completely. $350 is about equal to the total cost of a mid-range custom build, in which you get the advantage of something more personalized and possibly better.
Overall, this can be decent if you get it on sale or for free. I would not recommend it if you are just looking for *a* keyboard, but if you really like the exact look of any particular signature-series board w/o being picky about things like sound or typing stiffness, then go ahead.

Worth the price
I took the easy route and bought this keyboard instead of making my own. Not sure how the price compares to building it yourself (got it on sale for $300), but either way I'm blown away. The weight, the clean appearance and oh boy the sound, all amazing. Highly recommend any of the Drop signature series boards.

Excellent keyboard
My friend built his keyboard with Holy Panda switches and after trying his out a few times I was on the hunt for an easier solution than building my own. Finding this keyboard was the perfect opportunity for me to get a ready-made keyboard with Holy Panda switches without having to put in the time or investment that he originally needed to. I've been using the keyboard now for a few weeks and it's absolutely an improvement on the usual options you see on the market. Definitely recommended.
