Adventure Force Conquest Pro! And More From the Fall Lineup
May 8, 2021
Overnight (while I was sleeping, of course), news leaked out from internal Walmart product pages about upcoming blasters. Less than twelve hours later…Adventure Force Brand is already leaving comments on various Instagram posts, so I guess it’s official!
Not only has the next Pro blaster been revealed (and it’s definitely unique), but a new ball blaster and two other, colorful entries. Let’s dive in!
Quick Review: Nerf Elite 2.0 Commander
May 6, 2021I missed several blasters over the last six to eight months, be it due to a lack of time or motivation. However, things still need rated, and the Elite 2.0 line is still on shelves!
The Commander serves as the replacement for the Strongarm/Disruptor, and while other blasters can get better performance for less money – a Nerf fan who buys one probably won’t be disappointed.
Foam Fest Live 2 – May 15th Schedule Posted!
May 4, 2021
In case you haven’t seen the news, Foam Fest is still online this year due to the pandemic. Even so, things are chugging along in the background, with sessions on Nerf news, modding, community-made blasters, and more! Plus, there’s a raffle at the end with blasters to give away.
Also, don’t miss any of the potential surprises, now that Dart Zone is officially joining! Could be new blasters, could just be distribution news for new markets. Who knows?
Note that the streams start at 12:00pm BST (that translates to 7:00am EST), so adjust accordingly depending on your time zone!
I’ll be on later in the evening, helping talk about this past year in Nerf!
Roblox Nerf Strike Beta – My Thoughts
May 1, 2021Thursday and Friday, the first beta appearance of Nerf Strike went live. I got a chance to try out the game in its current state, and was thoroughly entertained; even so, it’s clear that we have a long way to go before official release.
Pictures come from my live stream yesterday.
Out of Darts Proton Pack Review!
April 23, 2021Few things in the hobby space, especially when it comes to Rival, are as iconic as the Proton Pack. More than five years ago, Out of Darts made the first one, with several revisions (and other iconic interpretations) since then.
Now, at last, they’re available for purchase from outofdarts.com! And if Rival is in any way useful to you (and you have the ammo for it), it’s some of the best money you’ll ever spend!
Nerf Super Soaker XP50-AP Review
April 21, 2021Some things fly under the radar. Thanks to the pandemic of the past year, much has been lost in terms of advertising new products, showing off samples at Toy Fairs, etc. That includes soakers, most of which are manual anyway. In the case of last year’s soakers, that issue was compounded by a recall of the XP20 and XP30 over stickers containing lead – never good optics.
This year, Hasbro quietly rereleased the line with the -AP (Air Pressure) tag at the end, and also added another rerelease to the line: the reimagined Super Soaker 50 from 2009! How’s it perform? Quite well, actually. Enough to to be the best thing in their line…after 12+ years.
