Nemesis is significantly more expensive than the Ark, and while folks are chalking this up to inflation or Hasbro greed, another factor could be production size. The Ark sat on shelves in a lot of places, so Hasbro might have seen fit to reduce the production size of Nemesis by a several thousands of units to more properly meet demand. If the initial round of stock did indeed sell out on Amazon, this could also be indicative of a smaller production run.

Not trying to be alarmist or get people to rush to buy something they won't find worthwhile - just wanted to propose a theory behind what we are seeing.

Hasbro is in the midst of decreasing their production numbers for the forseeable future. There are some videos on Youtube from retailers discussing this. Therefore if you really want something, you should probably preorder it.

Re: Amazon.ca Transformers Sightings and discussion

Has anyone had a Shrapnel ship? I know they at least tried to pre-auth the payment for me as I had to put in a different payment method.

Amazon has very few ROTB mainline toys available but oddly, they have the new Wheeljack weaponizer set.

Yeah, same story here, They cancelled my preorder shrapnel, also went with toysnowman for my shrapnel.

I will still use amazon for dvds and in stock figures, but for preorder, no more.
