Armada Nemesis Prime Becomes Pulse Premium Exclusive for One Month as Price Increases to $90

I wanted him so bad. $75 was a lot. Now $90 for him plus a subscription? Screw you hasbro. Im done.

Also, Deluxe transformers at Walmart are $29.95. I snagged Seapray and was shocked at the price increase.

This is most likely a tariff-related markup, in the UK it is £75.99. Hasbro have historically listed items for the same numeric price (I.E. an item costing $25 is listed for £25 because apparently exchange rates don't exist).

That's probably just him (and Brawn), that's the price they were originally listed at one Walmart.com before being knocked down to the normal $25. Seems the stores didn't get the memo.

I assumed it was just me. I bitch and moan because they never put out any new characters, and when they do, I don't like them or want to pay the price they're asking. But I'm sitting here waiting for a few obscenely priced third party G1 figures that I hope show up sometime before I die of old age. If they ever get smuggled out of China, that might end my collecting for a while.

Yeah I was wondering about Brawl myself. Along with Armada Nemesis here, Brawl was the other I really don't want to miss. He is in wave 1, correct?

First Omega Prime. Now Nemesis? Come on hasbro! You raised prices beyond belief snd now you can't even make toys right? I wanted both of them. Glad im saving my money.

I am going to guess this is caused by people attempting to rotate the chest piece before they completely pull it either way. The first time I transformed mine, I almost did the same thing thinking it should be moving. Luckily I stopped and pull it out the rest of the way. Mine doesn't have any lose joints or anything though.

Nemesis is completely amazing. This is my 1st time messing with this mould and I get why everyone is so high on it. Just went back and rewatched Armada episode 43 again and he is perfect looking. Been trying to get some good poses running on all fours and its kinda tough, lol. Really need better head/neck articulation, looking up waay more is needed( but I say that about most Transformers these days). I still go back to Animated Wasp, all figures should have at least that much head articulation. Opening hands would help a lot as well.

Only the highest quality, premium stuff for AUTHENTIC Transformers branded products.

Soon we'll be to a point where KOs have better quality and less hollowness too.

I'm quick to point to user error/skill issues with these scenarios, but after getting mine in hand I think that bracket part is generally way too tight and needs some sanding. In the process of taking mine apart so I can get in there and improve the tolerances. The shoulder pin is a pain in the neck to get out and has to be removed for this, but it isn't the cause of the issue, best I can tell.

Let us know how it goes, regardless I'm not touching this set with a 10ft pole. Maybe on sale just for the Nemessis Prime mold, but this isn't even the right version of the Star Saber set for Nemessis.
