Hero V2 Ball Dart Blaster Review

Five Below never fails to have interesting (if cheap) things pop up from time to time, be it Alpha Strike Uppercuts or offbrand oddities. It’s the latter in this case.

Adventure Force Dinoblitz Review

Dinosaurs have been one of the big trends in toys over the past two years, and both Nerf and Xshot have released dinosaur-themed product lines. The response from Dart Zone is…an old blaster with a dino scope?

Admittedly, this feels like a case where Walmart Canada asked for a blaster, got shown something, and asked if a dinosaur could be added. Nevertheless, the Dinoblitz is still a Blitzfire at heart, and a great blaster for the price.

War Report Lite: CoD Warzone w/ Rochester Foam Dart League!

I originally hadn’t planned on attending this event, due to the need for registering a team of four players, being from much farther away, and not knowing if I’d even be free. However, things worked out, I filled in as a fourth on a team in need, and I got to do Battle Royale with dart blasters in a large park!

Is it my favorite game type? No. Was I in the shape necessary for being out in the heat for hours, and running when needed? Also no. But was it fun to try? Heck yes! More down below.

Nexus Pro Alternate Colors Available!

Yes, my wife puts up with me wanting pictures sometimes.

Anyway, if the regular Adventure Force Nexus Pro isn’t quite your style, Walmart.com is listing and shipping both gold and alternate camo versions! Expect the same performance as before. Know that you will be paying extra for the limited edition blasters ($70 total for the gold, $60 for the camo), but if you collect blasters or want a performance one with better looks, then these will fit the bill!

Nerf Cat Catnip Disc Blaster Review

Nerf Dog has been a thing for years now. At last, cats can join in on the fun? Admittedly, this isn’t exactly a flagship product – at $15, it’s relatively cheap, but if you cat is actually active, it might be worth it.

Note that this is a Petco exclusive!
