Never shot it personally, but from what Ive read it was decent. The only issue I read early on was about a paper backing issue (molting I think), but other companies (eg Ilford) were having the same issue, I think the backing paper was from the same supplier.
$18/roll? It's cool they are also selling "fresh" 127 ($17) and 620 ($16). But, their handling of 220 GPX400 quality control issues, my experience with Catlabs 80 (also GP3), and ordering from China and then having to wait months for 70? cargo ships to clear out (they are not sending via air, with free shipping). I pass.
$18/roll? ...
When I looked last night I am pretty sure it was $6.99/roll! They must be getting a huge response.
I'll have to look into 220 bulk loading...
I think that #9 sums up the "whys" We seem to have entered into a strange new consumer world where the normal price v value for money link seems to no longer exist but it shouldn't be surprising to us as the trend started with "new" films that were not new but with eye-catching names and most certainly eye-catching pricesWhen I looked last night I am pretty sure it was $6.99/roll!

Been there, done that. Unless I somehow get some NVGs I'm not going to try again.
the 120 is $6.99, so maye it was initially listed as a typo?
Also (and I didn't follow this closely) weren't the earlier 220 rolls, not factory done, but rather a guy that bought some bulk and was doing it himself? I don't have much use for 220, but for those that do, its would be interesting to demonstrate demand (if such demand is there.) However for over 2.5 times the price, it seems like it might dampen enthusiasm. The 620 and 127 are in the same price range of 220, but don't benefit from the additional frames, but they may make some shelf queens occasionally usable.

It's time that Ilford produced a "new" range of their existing films called "Films from the Mob" ( as in Mobberley) with pictures of Frank Nitti etc on the boxes. The Ortho 80 Plus becomes the St Valentine's Day Special which for $10 more comes in a miniature fiddle case. The headline can be "We're blasting the market with this new one!"
