Hello guys. I'm kinda new to the whole 3D printing thing, however after searching on the webs what kinda models exist for what prices, this one kinda stood out.

Do you think its worth investing in it? :O
it would be worth looking at. its not an easy thing to get a printer working well.
I would go with the makerbot 2 over the 2x or 3. The 2 is solid. The 2x that I have access to has issues all of the time.
I won't be buying a 3d printer until a) they are as cheap as fridge and b) they are as reliable as a fridge... The technology needs to mature somewhat still....
The 3 D printer is only part of the overall package that is needed. You also need a 3 D design program to build your parts as well as a good slicer to create the image in a format that the 3 D printer can use. While waiting for a low cost dependable printer ones time could be spent in learning/mastering a 3 D design program.
