You can buy the CLS6336HV servos from JX-Servo directly for about $25 each. Usually a much better deal than on Aliexpress, Banggood etc and it's pretty easy to do. The $600 price point though assumes you have a number of things already like a RPi, lipo charger, or PS4 controller.
I summed the BOM table it was just over $330 but it looks like that's just body no electronics at all... the servo arms look special/priciest but it's multiplied. I imagine the main thing for this aside from body is the brain but that looks to be shared as well

About $30 each on aliexpress. Seems like an ok deal to me.
