There's two versions of the Takara WFC Nemesis Prime. The original, who is super rare, and the Netflix version that is in a different box. Still expensive, unfortunately.
Velocitron Scourge is a completely different character and is not really a "Nemesis". It's like using Nemesis Leo as your Nemesis Prime. To go with your collection and display that is G1-centric, the Netflix Nemesis is your best bet. Too bad you're 3 years to late to get him for retail price.
So, if you really want it, you'll have to bite the bullet and pay double the price.
I did for some toys in the past. It suck, but better pay double than triple or quadruple.
The other options for Nemesises either don't match, or are as expensive anyway.

Speaking of upgrades, what are your thoughts on tfsafari? I have never used them before either.
Mkdlmr wrote:Looks like I actually made a little more room. Looking for a couple of solid autobots, preferably on the smaller deluxe-size side. I know you mentioned Skids and Sunstreaker, but I'm skeptical of the translucent plastic on one and the other one goes for ridiculous prices.

Thanks for the info! I guess I'm just really wary of clear plastics from all the posts and my experience with having to handle my SS86 Jazz extra gently. I was all excited for a non-exclusive Ratchet [SS86] in until I saw the clear plastic hinges...

If it's not done already, get the Buzzworthy Bee "Dead" Ironhide and Prowl 2 pack. No clear anything.
Then, when the time come, you'll get the "dead" Ratchet and (Brawn?) 2 pack, who won't have any clear.

Is it wrong that I really don't like battle damage?

Why are you asking this?

Because I had a brain-fart and meant Wheeljack, not Ratchet.

Ah.
I really don't like him. Mainly because of those two tiny triangular windshield tidbits that keep popping off when transforming.
Still, I wanna ask.
You really don't like any Selects repaints? Because each times I mention them, its as if I said nothing and the subject matter is completely brushed off.
Ironic since you have Black Zarak and Roritchi.
Mkdlmr wrote:Huh, I never actually noticed I did that. I guess I just look at the repaints, think "huh, dunno who this is" and just keep going... Black Zarak was the exception because I got hit by some random Google ad and he was $70, and I really wanted Scorponok, but couldn't stomach the price he's going for. Black Roritchi would have been skipped if Amazon didn't drop him to $34 spontaneously, so I guess I'd be okay with Selects repaints if they were 50% off MSRP?![]()
Mkdlmr wrote:Thanks! Already got both of them [Original Kingdom Galvatron though].

-Kanrabat- wrote:Mkdlmr wrote:What are your thoughts on the Kingdom Huffer mold?
It's good, but not perfect because the little truck always end up a little "crooked".
This didn't stop me from buying all four of them tho.

Thanks! No clear plastic joints or anything fragile though, right?

Appart the occasional thing that will pop off then right back in in transformation, nothing fragile here.
Mkdlmr wrote:Thanks! You mentioned the Earthrise Trailbreaker mold in your top ten. Is it fragile in anyway?

Oh yes. It cannot withstand the full force of an hydraulic press.![]()
