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

If you were looking forward to the exclusive Armada Nemesis Prime with Star Saber you may find yourself disappointed by some changes since being first revealed a few months ago at SDCC. For starters the figure is now available locked behind a Pulse Premium paywall for nearly a month, for everyone else orders will be available on November 3, assuming there are any left. The other big change is the price. Originally announced at $75 the figure, which is officially listed as a Voyager, with Mini-cons is now $90, the same price as Commander class Armada Optimus Prime. This could be a bad indication for future Commander class figures if a Voyager ($43) and what could arguably be a Deluxe price point set ($28) can be sold for Commander class price at a time when Hasbro rarely charges a premium for exclusives like they did in the past.

Still planning to buy it regardless of the changes or is this your way out? Let us know in the Energon Pub forums!

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 was the fig I was most looking forward to this year. I felt $75 was a bit much. $90 is asking a whole lot.

$50 for pulse premium is definitely not worth it, so I'll wait and see.

I guess I'll see if it's in stock when November rolls around and decide. I'm working on collecting all the Nemesis figures, and I was going to get this for Armada- at this price point, I might just get the original, even though I like this one better.

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).

I bought it as soon as it went up. Very excited to finally have a Nemesis Prime. 40 years of collecting and I passed them all up waiting for a great Armada one. It looks pretty much perfect to me. Head and face on it are just the right amount of brutal. Yes I am disappointed the price went up. Still, I bet I have spent less on Nemesis Prime's than most ;) The new price is lame, but somehow I didn't know it came with this ion cannon and that is sweet. I always have a Pulse sub anyway. It has saved me quite a lot on shipping each year since I buy 98% of figures there. Now I am going to need to find a good red sword for him.

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.

Hasbro really wants me to stop collecting Transformers. I stopped Marvel Legends and then stopped Star Wars Black Series. I can stop collecting Transformers.

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.

I'm disappointed that after all the reveals at SDCC, the two figures I wanted up for pre-order haven't made the cut. Brawl and Blastoff were on the display tables along with most of the other reveals, and yet they are nowhere to be seen on Pulse or anywhere else. With that, what is up?

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?
