    If we’re talking general release and not the Takara release I still see him in abundance every time I visit my local hobby shops here in the UK. I had no idea

    Yeah anyone with UK relatives needs to pack them off to their local branch of Smyths Toys. The ammo box version of Nemesis Prime is going for $54.89 according to the current exchange rate.

    You’ll definitely like him, although if you’re not in a rush you could wait for Legacy Scourge if you wanted Nemesis to look a bit different to Optimus like I do. I’m not a huge fan of them looking identical.

    i find it odd that 2 years into having the earthrise optimus tooling now, we still dont have a Nemesis Prime from it. yet we have 2 from the Siege mold, and a Black Convoy semi- confirmed from Laser Prime already

    Yeah that is weird considering the Earthrise mold seems to be more popular. Surprised they didn’t get on that, especially since he uses the Earthrise trailer too.

    The Siege mold probably differentiates them enough assuming you are using ER as your Optimus.

    I'm literally waiting for the day. It would be the perfect Generations Nemesis Prime for my collection too

    Still waiting on it. While I'm perfectly satisfied with using POTP Nemesis Prime as my Nemesis Prime, I feel like the Earthrise mold would wear the colors well.

    You’re right, but I’m biased to RID Scourge which I consider “THE” Nemesis Prime. It’s an option on the table if people can no longer find this version. The red sword is probably the coolest part about the set though I think.

    In my mind, the Earthrise mold is the perfect Optimus Prime mold at that pricepoint. It does everything an Optimus needs to do IMO.

    It's also odd how we've gotten a SG Optimus, Dead Optimus, and many color variations of the same Optimus but still no Nemesis?

    Granted how the new Laser OP reuses the Earthrise OP legs, I'm crossing my fingers and hoping they release a Nemesis prime toy at least as a Gen Selects figure.

    Edit: I also agree with your sentiment regarding POTP Nemesis, It's a great toy

    I almost picked one of these up from Smyths while I was in the UK but just couldn’t justify paying $55 when I wouldn’t have even bothered bringing the trailer or exhaust cannons back to the states with me.

    It’s a shame this never made it to brick and mortar retail in the US, but I’m not surprised after they completely botched the release of Magnus.

    Why not sell them on when you got back to the states? Surely someone would have taken them off of your hands, especially the trailer

    I really wish I had the room to display this guy, but right now I only have room for one Nemesis Prime/Scourge, and that spot is occupied by Car Robots Black Convoy right now, and he will probably get replaced by the upcoming Wal-Mart exclusive if I find that I like the G2 Prime mold once I start seeing reviews for him when they start.

    For the hassle of finding someone who even wants it, haggling price, packaging and shipping I would have broken even at the absolute best. Realistically I’d probably get the cost of shipping and maybe a couple dollars for my time if I’m lucky. Just wasn’t worth the time and effort.

    While I’m sure there are outliers, I think majority of people claiming this figure has yellowed did not pay attention to the difference in plastic color from the get-go. I mean, look at the original pictures in this thread. The biceps and back are a substantially different color to the other gray bits.

    I’ve seen some pictures where the back gray part and the biceps discolor a lot, like a greenish color.

    Good to hear not all them are affected though.
