That being said, if I can get my hands on a TF He-Man maybe I'll invest in Skeletor. Maybe Pretenders Stranglehold XD
Highbrow I'll probably get, but reserve judgment until he's in my hands.

Not a Nemesis. Can't explain why all that well. But i'm sure someone will come through and explain. I really don't know how the setup for this Black Convoy is. Well not even a Black Convoy, because the character originated in America, so it's Optimus. I just hurt myself.

I've explained it before and I'll explain it again:
The Japanese have an extreme fondness for black repaints, as evidenced in the different TF lines and outside of them (like Super Sentai). However, They also hate repaints that are turned into new characters. So most of the time, a Japanese black repaint is the same character, only in black. These are denoted as "(Name) Black Version", unlike the evil clones who are named "Black (name)". Here's the short list of Japanese black repaints, separated between the two categories:
Evil Clones
BWII Black Lioconvoy
BW Neo Black Big Convoy (not Universe 2003 Nemesis Prime)
CR Black Convoy (aka RiD Scourge)
ML Scourge with Sweep (Armada Nemesis Prime with Run-Over)
BT Black Convoy (Alternator Nemesis Prime)
Black Versions (i.e. same character)
JAFCon Convoy
Nucleon Quest Super Convoy
MP-1B Convoy Black Version
THS-02B G1 Convoy Black Version
A-01 Convoy Super Black (repurposed as Universe 2003 Nemesis Prime)
To reiterate: Not every black Prime repaint is a Nemesis Prime!

Thanks for clearing that up. Sorry I missed the first few times you had to explain it.
Ironic that the Japanese hate repaints that are turned into completely different characters as I would rather the repaint be a completely different character (ROTF Sideswipe & ROTF Swerve). At least I feel like I'm getting something for my money as opposed to an existing character with a different paint job (i.e. ROTF Shadow Command Megatron) where I feel I'm being cheated out of my money.

As far as I can tell, it's in the 1300-1500 range.

On a serious note, though, considering how well it was done and the limited production of this figure, I definitely recommend picking it up if you are a TFA fan.
