When you finally get a resolution to this, you HAVE to come on the podcast to tell your tale.

Just got off the phone with a Hasbro rep.
The Nemesis line is listed as “released January 2009 (or 2008 in error on Tigra) as a Wal-Mart exclusive, discontinued April 2009.”
Her first thought was that the line was canceled but, since we know the figures *were* produced and not canceled, something else is going on.
The operator said that YES - it is possible that the line will be re-introduced as a non-exclusive and the existing cases re-distributed from whatever warehouse they’re being held in.
Such things *have* happened in the past, but there was no way she could know for sure.
So, I’m thinking that Esbat got good info from Wal-Mart but Hasbro reps are still responding with the limited info in their “customer service” computer systems.
The fact that the line is suddenly listed as *discontinued* as of this month makes me think the re-distribution will happen soon and the items will be re-activated in the Hasbro system with new SKUs.
Meanwhile online stores are still selling for $25-75 a figure, and I just lost an eBay auction for a loose Nemesis BAF that went for $96!

I was told, basically, that Jeff* is quite right that the exclusive line has been discontinued and is going the way of the Marvel Legends Series 2 2packs, which'll be available through Diamond/Previews, so comic and specialty shops in the Fall of 2009.

Screw good deals, they're not gonna get gooder until they come out. Right now the scalpers are going to scramble once words gets out and about to SCREW the impatient people. C'mon you waited 2 years... whats 4 months to save upwards of 40 bucks?

With the saved 40 bucks you can build Giganta, offa ebay.
