Nerf Rival Charger Review
December 19, 2019The early 2020 blasters are arriving just in time for Christmas! I did happen to get one of these sent to me by Hasbro for free (which means I now have two, since I ordered one at Target). Naturally, having an extra one just means I can open it up and do things to it!
The Rival MXX-1200 Charger it Nerf’s newest semi-auto ball blaster, following the Zeus and Hera before it. Instead of using external magazines, however, it opts to feature an internal 12-round magazine. It’s a comfortable and handy blaster, and should be great for anyone playing in indoor settings or who prefers refilling from a pouch.
Nerf Holiday Package Drop!
December 17, 2019#Nerf #NerfNation #FreeStuff
This came in the mail over the weekend! Thanks for the free box of goodies, Hasbro! (And associated PR firms)
I know what I'm wearing to the company party on Friday...
Microshots are fun. And as expected, the push for Ultra is strong...On the plus side, I have even more ammo for feeding the other Ultra One (admittedly, launching those darts with a blaster running on a 3s Lipo doesn’t always end well). On the other plus side, there’s stuff for staying warm 🙂
Holiday Contest Note
December 15, 2019Small point of order, before more posts go up – I was originally planning on one more week of giving things away. However, I am going to be running around everywhere the next two weeks between holidays, work, and trying to move things back home. As such, I’m concerning myself just with dropping current winners off at the post office. That last week of giveaways will happen…when it happens. That’s just the way it is!

Nerf Fortnite SMG-E Review
December 14, 2019It’s supposed to come out at the beginning of 2020. However, supply chains being like they are, sometimes things arrive early. To that end, we have the Fortnite SMG-E. It is, at the most basic level, a Stryfe. Even so, for $30 it’s also an inexpensive one, if you don’t mind ditching compatibility with accessories. Also, being goofy and useful gets point in my book.
Nerf Challenge Review
December 12, 2019I usually review blasters and the like, not actual events. However, since Hasbro has partnered with Kilburn Live to make the Nerf Challenge event, it seemed like a good thing to write about after experiencing.
To be clear, I did have an invite to the earlier media party at the LA Nerf Challenge – I simply couldn’t make it due to my regular job. However, thanks to some really cheap overnight flights, I was able to spend a few hours experiencing the Nerf Challenge as a customer. Is it something worth flying to? Probably not; I’m just weird like that, and it’s a touring event anyway. Should you try it if it’s nearby? Possibly. It will be a fun time, but it all depends on what you’re looking for and willing to pay.

Blasterhub Holiday Giveaway – Week 4!
December 8, 2019It’s Week 4 of our holiday giveaways! And we’re going slightly sillier this week. I said it was based on the things I’d had the most fun with, after all!
As always, here are the rules:
- Please be a United States resident old enough to actually use Facebook as per their terms of service.
- Just leave a post on the corresponding Facebook Contest post!
- Two winners will be chosen at random from all comments made before 11:59pm EST on Thursday, December 12th. Winners will be promptly announced.
- I will message the winners for their contact information, put the blasters in the mail, and provide the tracking numbers.
This week, we have two Unicorn Power Poppers! They’re not the best blasters in the world, for obvious reasons. But they’re so silly and fun to use, it’s hard not to like them.
Little Tikes Makes Mighty Blasters? Who Knew?
December 6, 2019This was an odd thing to see before leaving for the weekend. It appears there are soft-shooting, oversized blasters for toddlers, courtesy of Little Tikes! They only advertise 12′ ranges. That being said…I somehow still want them, and I’m 30 years old. More below. (Website Link)
