good game, not only that, but the customer service is SO GOOD. I asked for nemesis and they brought it into stock just for me! Moreover, they were super friendly and gave advice when I was choosing between lockdown and base nemesis. They even told me to scan the QR code on the lab rats jacket which was a very funny surprise. They even had one nemesis lockdown box hidden away so that there would at least be one in stock for me all the time.
