Nerf Microshots Review

At this point, I have quite a few Microshots that have arrived at my doorstep. (OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER THANKING HASBRO FOR SENDING FREE STUFF) At the very least, I should give my thoughts on the line. They’re neat gifts and collectibles, for sure. Just remember that, in the end, they’re all Jolts. Not that that’s a bad thing.

Avengers: Endgame Nerf Assemblers Gear Review

Well, we finally have the release of the Avengers: Endgame toys, in time to fuel the hype for the movie. One set of toys that’s NOT leaking plot points, however, is the next wave of Nerf Assemblers Gear. It’s Hasbro’s way of incorporating dart blasting into the movie, as well as making it possible to collect tons of plastic pieces to make giant plastic monstrosities.

The good news is that these are far better than the blasters we had last year. And while they still aren’t quite compatible with the rest of Nerf’s accessories, they at least can be mixed with last year’s movie tie-ins. They’re no longer objectively bad. Whether it’s enough to justify buying them, however, is up to you.

The flagship blaster of the Fortnite/Nerf partnership may be the AR-L blaster, but the SP-L is just as much fun, in a smaller package. It offers decent performance, a three dart internal magazine, and the goofy look you’d expect from a model of an in-game asset. While there may be more competitive options available for less, the SP-L is still a nice blaster, especially for fans of the game.

Nerf Blasters Announced @ Jared’s Epic Nerf Battle

While we were gone (I was at an HvZ Invitational close to home), Jared’s Epic Nerf Battle 4 took place down in Texas. Being an official Hasbro-sponsored event (as well as Walmart), it was a good opportunity to show off some of the upcoming 2019 blasters. Naturally, those blasters “just happen” to be Walmart exclusives. In any case, the event appears to have been a blast for all those that were able to participate, and preorders for those blasters are now live!

Nerf Fortnite AR-L Blaster Review

Purchase here (affiliate link that helps support the website)

Today’s the day! The Nerf Fortnite blasters are finally in stores. As such, we’ll start with the big one, the AR-L. At $50, it’s a bit expensive for what is essentially a remodeled Stryfe. Even so, it has the performance you’d expect in a fun package, making it a nice option for both fans of Nerf and of the game.
