Nemesis is one of those.... “I don’t NEED it but I kinda want it” figures. If it goes to $35 like Magnus I’ll bite.

 

NP is in stock but Elita-1 now says 12-15. I'm assuming the others got bumped back to 12-15 now too.

 

Soundwave, Prime, Bumble, E1 all say Nov 19 on my pre-orders. Hasn't changed since I placed the orders originally. Guessing/hoping they will ship out tomorrow.

Deluxe Thunderhowl is in stock, just ordered him and Nemesis Prime

 

Just got a tracking number for Nemesis Prime. Real shame about delays on other preorders, though. I got one in for Elita-1 when that listing went back up last week, but I guess it'll be a longer wait yet.

 

No free Nemesis surprise for me—I finally got an email from Walmart that my previously indestructible preorder was “successfully” cancelled, a day before shipping. Ah well.

 

Yep, got one earlier too. Oh well, would have been nice but it is what it is

 

Nemesis Prime is now on the way and due to be delivered to me by tomorrow. No movement on Bumblebee and Soundwave. I hope they don't get delayed any further or canceled.

 

Any idea when the next Netflix wave should start showing up in stores?

 

I thought the same and was ready to pass on him as I had all the other previous Nemesis before him. Then I saw a post on the boards here that my local toy shop had one in stock. I let my impulse take over and I snagged him. No regrets.

And as far as the walmart price drops. That is just random weirdness that you cant plan on. Magnus was kind of a dud as most of us already had a magnus and werent all that jazzed about the same guy in different paint job and I speculate he didnt move well enough. I fully expect Nemesis to be in demand and to sell through a lot better. If you want one, I wouldnt gamble on saving $20 bucks as if you wait too long you may have to pay $50 extra to get one down the road.

 

nemesis prime has shipped! got shipping notification with tracking number this morning at 5:30am. arriving Saturday!!

 

That’s the thing. I won’t pay extra to get it if I won’t even buy it at this price. I’m happy with the POTP and all the other NP figures I own. Chances are, an ER version will come out and I’ll likely bite on that.

 

What if they ship you something else instead of the nemesis prime figure, like instead of getting him Walmart just sends you Magnus or essential oils

 

That is the whole reason why I haven't dropped my order with BBTS for this. If everyone gets Nemesis and Walmart still has it then maybe I will order.

 

And Walmart's delayed the second wave of Netflix again to the middle of December. I think I'll be buying Bumblebee on eBay unless I happen upon reopened Japanese preorders.

 

Wasn't the Magnus price drop due to COVID? Like it was supposed to come out in March or April, right as all the lockdowns started, then when stores started fully reopening they wanted Magnus off the shelves immediately so they could put out the next round of toys. I can't say Nemesis Prime won't get put on sale at some point, but it's not likely to see as insane and immediate a drop as Ultra Magnus did, that was a pretty specific set of events.

 

Yeah no charge or tacking on Soundwave despite saying it's supposed to arrive today. Fully expecting an email by tomorrow saying it's delayed indefinitely.

 

I ordred a Nemesis when he went up last night (just in case) and then my pre-order shipped this morning. Hopefully that's a good sign for the rest of wave 2
