Several hours later is it also listed on Amazon US, Amazon Canada, Amazon France, Amazon Germany, Amazon Italy, and Amazon Spain.

'Tis an Amazon exclusive.

I wonder if the UK price is indicative of the figure selling at normal leader prices. If it is, I will jump on him, the head sculpts make it worth it. And the colors, those colors kill

Should mean it'll be easy to get once it actually hits, nice!

FINALLY! An exclusive I have a small chance of getting rather than not-getting-at-all. :lol:

If you look at the boxed image from the front, right under the NP drawing there's a small gap that you can see the Dark Saber and what appears to be the gun peeking through.

It's worth noting that, when you check the Amazon US listing, it's labeled as "unavailable" and features no price at all.

The new weapons really bring this figure up a notch. I really hope I manage to get this one.

I wonder if Nemesis Prime could actually be a May Mayhem release? The timing is right. It's also weird that we still haven't seen that Repugnus figure. I guess we'll find out in a few weeks or so.

Earlier, an Amazon UK listing for Transformers Power of the Primes Nemesis Prime was found, letting us know that this toy would at least not be a show exclusive that would not be sold anywhere else. But we did not know if this toy would also be sold on amazon elsewhere in the world or if Amazon would be the main (or exclusive) global retailer.

Well now we know. Thanks to Sabrblade, we now know that not only is it listed on multiple amazon websites across the globe, but the US listing also stated that this is an Amazon exclusive. Also, while the description does not state that he comes with the blaster weapon the original toy comes with, the box image does show that he comes packaged with the same gun (which can be seen below).

Amazon exclusive figure evolves from Nemesis Pax to Nemesis Prime
Comes with a special edition Decepticon Giza figure
Also comes with Dark Matrix of Leadership and Dark Saber accessories
Works with Prime Master figures (Prime Master figures not included. Each sold separately. Subject to availability.)
Includes Leader Class Nemesis Prime figure with Evolution armor, Decepticon Giza figure, Dark Matrix of Leadership accessory, Dark Saber accessory, 2 arm cannon accessories, collector card, and instructions. Ages 8 and up.

Listings:

Amazon US

Amazon Canada

Amazon France

Amazon Germany

Amazon Italy

Amazon Spain

Please not that this toy is not available in most of these sites yet.

Neat! Hope he pops up at a point where I can afford him. And stays in stock for more than 5 minutes.

There's supposed to be time with no new product, the way stuff has been released lately every other month with no time for a wave to saturate is insane! We're only supposed to have four waves in PotP and at this rate we'll have wave 3 in the US in May. Things need to slow down. I really do hope WfC wave 1 hits in January (it'll be December, but I can hope) to bring things back in line. Hasbro doesn't understand how to pace themselves. Look at Titans Return: In the second half of 2016 we got wave 1-3, but that only left waves 4 through 6 for all of 2017 (and some of us still only had wave 3 for most of the year). Hasbro's own release outline for PotP said wave 1 in December, wave 2 in April, and wave 3 in July (wave 4 probably September or October, they didn't put a date on it). This schedule makes sense, but the reality is moving way too fast.

Doesn't really matter, Cyberverse is going to be a full, multi wave and probably multi year line replacing RID, not something you can wedge in between Generations waves.

I agree. I miss the days of lines being able to breathe.

Large retailers really only seem to care about exclusive movie figures. Aside from some stuff at TRU, when was the last time we saw a non-shared CHUG exclusive at Target or Walmart. The answer is 2009 for both. Target got Universe Leo Prime (white) while Walmart got Universe Ultra Hardhead, Powerglide (red), and Skyfall. And considering how poorly Walmart handled their TLK exclusives do we really want them to get more exclusives? I sure don't.

Just noticed that it looks like they fixed the rear side panels of the truck cab so that they are flush with the rest of the truck, which looks much better sans the rear top of the truck cab.

I hope I can get him. He looks amazing! And after getting pop Optimus, I want him.

Im pretty hyped for the new nemesis prime. Although I wish the arm guns could be stored without having a hole in the trailer

I'm afraid not, that's a trick of perspective. The "smokestacks" they hinge on are still inset, you can tell by looking at the where the other side would be.

That's a fair, though I would counter-argue that Movie toys and Generations toys don't even seem to follow the same rules. I'm sure it's just coincidence, but distribution for those two lines don't seem to follow any of the same patterns.
