By way of Japanese imageboard 2Chan, an image reaches us of the Maketoys Nemesis Battle Tanker remold. Nemesis is shown in the story that accompanies the group’s upcoming not-Fallen Paladin Chaos release, and appears to be an IDW Nemesis / Nova Prime inspired upgrade for the TFCC Scourge. He also seems to be sporting a cape and a lot of chains – either like some kind of dark lord, or possibly a pro-Wrestler. Check out the image attached to this story.

I have a MISB in sealed shipping box for sale. Shipping boxes came taped together. As Kuma’s shown, Nemesis is an impressive figure. $195

Ah ok. Hmm.
I saw KOs of the G2 colors, I'd even settle for the KO of the Black Convoy colors at this point.

NT is still around, it just released KO MT hotshot (Defensor) last month.
VelsR
Pray that NT (the same guys who KOed and improved Perfect Effect Leonidas) would release theirs, if they are still around…
KO OS MT Hyper Nova

"Anything initially exclusive to MT's store will only ever get a limited single run."
The copies that TD and CP got being from the same exact limited single run. Resellers pay extra to get limited stuff for their own storefronts all the time and that's exactly what happens when the likes of TD and CP get these items. They throw a little bit more money at MT in the hopes of getting an item that will be hot once they have it because it is otherwise unavailable to their customers. These items typically getting a price hike once on said US sites is a reflection of this tactic. Initial RRP of Nemesis being $140 (what I paid) via MT's store, becoming $150 through US resellers and eventually getting as high as $200 at both CP and TD. Which imo is a disgustingly bloated price hike but eh if people are willing to pay that then its a smart business move. So can't blame those sellers for taking advantage of customer behavior.
Many people either don't want to buy from sites like MT's due to paranoid distrust of an unfamiliar seller, or simply lack awareness of their site or have the perception that higher price tag + lower ship cost = better than lower price tag + higher ship cost which influences their local of choice of which to buy from regularly. Again, another thing you can't blame resellers for taking advantage of. What sells sells.
So exclusives thrive on these attitudes and business tactics.
At the end of the day you want an exclusive and don't want to get a bit screwed? don't miss its initial source of availability. Nemesis was easily purchasable from MT's storefront for a good solid 3-4 months at least. I'm not surprised sellers swooped in eventually to get the remaining stock and jack up dat price. Gooood money that is.
