49,99$ for Universe Nemesis Prime. Rip off or good deal?

I think its a repaint of Classic OP which is a exclusive to the San Diego convention? Is it worth it at this price?

And I never had a Nemesis Prime in my collection. I think every Nemesis Prime were exclusive and he also a important character?

I got mine at the AFX for 45 - and he's well worth it!

Dans mon avis, au moins...

Thats about what I paid for mine. Two months down the road will it really make a difference if you saved $5 or $10? He'll probably just get harder to find and more expensive as a result. Basically though you should have to justify the price depending on how much you want him for your collection.

That's a reasonable price, but you can find it for a little less if you are patient. Myself... I would jump on it if I was happy with the price. Sometimes it is worth a little premium to have it right away.

$50-ish is the standard price for him.

Its actually in a toy shop who manage to get Exclusives and Takara toys that I found Nemesis Prime. So with tax, it should be around 57$ CDN.

I am asking this because they usually over-price their toys like:

Universe:
Acid Storm 27,95$
Galvatron 19,95$

Animated:
Swoop 19,95$
Ultra Magnus 64,95$

Classic:
Starscream 44,95$

And I don't want to be ripped-off by them again like when I paid 30$ for Stealth Bumblebee when there so many at 15$ now. And I don't really how to buy stuff on site like EBay...

Well considering it's a toy that originally was once a J-Exclusive and called the best Beast Wars mold ever made by many....... and it's not TOO far off from the retail....... why not =P

I don't know why classics Starscream is $45 and Acidstorm $27.00 they both are ripoffs.
