Having personally spoken to Bob and National about the Nemesis I can tell you that is an illegal knock off and not made under licence.

Anyone found selling or dealing with them will no longer be allowed to be a distributor of National products. That's what they are doing about it and just about all they can do about it.

I'm personally one of the people working on new intimidators to help take them to a new level where knock offs of older versions won't be as sought after by potential intimidator customers. It's one way of fighting back. There is some good stuff coming guys .

When Autofeed was taking over the electronic hopper section of the market in Europe, ViewLoader gave away VL2000 motorised hoppers with any Automag purchased just to try and stop people buying Autofeeds.

Thank you.

Sorry JT2002 but I can't release info on exactly what is coming other than what has been said already. More information may well be available at World Cup.

Just expect them to be faster, smaller, lighter... etc.

Sorry, you just contradicted yourself... but oh well....

I gotta question,

Manike said that anyone selling the nemesis will be no longer able to sell any nps product, what about people advertising the nemesis?

In one of the more recent issues of Pb2x, the nemesis was advertised, could the same penalties apply for people advertising (promoting in a way?) the nemesis?

well now that we know it is in fact illegal, i just thought id use that term, since we now know for sure, and its not speculation. so as for contradicting myself? no not really. i only said "i never said it was illegal" because i too didnt know if it was illegal or not

hhmm very interesting point. I'm going to have to check my sources on that.

I know it was advertised in facefull. Didn't know it had been advertised in PB2X. That sounds strange to me... not something I would have expected to see happening... considering who owns PB2X...

[JT2002]

and compared to a speed? cmon manike make me wanna jump the gun now! lol. anyone who wants a speed, hit me up

The term illegal is a bit broad and maybe not the best descriptive term to be used here. They are doing nothing inherently illegal in making and selling the Nemesis as far as I am aware currently (although considering all the patents currently being banded about, that may not be strictly true... since I don't know if they have a licence from SP etc).

However it is not a licenced or approved copy of the timmy as far as I am aware either. I used the term illgal knock off to mean that they didn't have permission to make it. It may be illegal under trade dress and passing off laws, but not sure about that. It's not something I have dealt with very much.

oh, oh, whoops... very sorry about that, yes it was a facefull that was advertising the nemesis... I have waaaay too many magazines.

Sorry again for the slip up,
