ENDWAR IS COMING!
May 28, 2018I just realized that I’ve been working on things for this all weekend, but have yet to actually advertise the event on Blasterhub! Failure to promote, indeed.
Endwar HvZ is back for another run in Athens, OH this June (22-24). Last year was a great success. This year I won’t be playing, as I’m actually helping to run it! It’s one of the reasons my free time has been sparse as of late, especially when it comes to posting reviews on here.

In addition, I’ll have a booth at Foamcon, with the general plan being to have newer blasters on hand for people to take a look at. Come say hi!
Nerf News: Infinus, Evader, Scout MK2, Deltatrooper Unboxed!
May 26, 2018Hong Kong Nerf group, Nerf x Code:852 managed to get their hands on some of the latest 2018 Fall Nerf blasters. In a YouTube video live stream they unboxed the Elite Scout MK-II, Rival Hera, Elite Delta-Trooper and the Modulus Evader.
Random News in Nerf – May 21, 2018
May 21, 2018There are already videos and posts that do nice summaries of the “week in Nerf News“, and community highlights. Instead of those things, I wanted to highlight some things I’ve seen that, while not the biggest item, are still noteworthy in terms of deals, gameplay, or other things. So, without further delay…
Stats Blast Hover Shot Review
May 19, 2018ToysRUs, at least in the United States, is on its last legs thanks to bankruptcy and liquidation. However, TRU has several in-house brands that had products in the distribution pipeline, including the Stats Blast blaster line. The first of these products is on shelves, assuming your store hasn’t been cleared out yet. It’s a simple target game with a small pistol, based on this original version. It may not be worth the original $20 asking price, but for a discount you might like it.

Xshot Regenerator Review
May 12, 2018The Regenerator is Xshot’s budget answer to the idea of Nerf Modulus. Modeled similarly to the Nerf Battlescout, it features its own version of tactical rails, accessories, and barrel attachments. For $30 and decent [upgrade-able] performance, it’s not a bad option. It just has the unfortunate luck to have appeared on ToysRUs shelves right after bankruptcy was declared.
Nerf Vortex VTX Pyragon Review
May 5, 2018Of all the things to show up on my birthday! Getting a message from Fedex that a package was ready for pickup was nice. Then I opened it up and found the newest versions of the Pyragon and Vigilon! Since we’re on a roll here, I may as well do a review of the Pyragon first, comparing it to the old version and doing an actual review.
As expected for a Vortex blaster, it’s lots of fun (even if it’s not always competitive in superstock settings). It’s just a matter of whether your desire for a unique take on a formerly discontinued product outweighs your budget concerns,
