Official Nerf Demo-videos!

Finnaly, the official demo-videos from Nerf has arrived. There are four demos out now (15.06.12) with four different blasters: The Hailfire, Pyragon, Rampage and Retaliator. The Hailfire and the Pyragon are the ones people have been looking most forward to. The Hailfire was just as I expected, while the Pyragon was a bit disappointing. Anyways, Nerf have overdone themselves again, as  they do pretty much every year.

Please note that the videos takes some time loading before they start (about 20 sec.)

• Hailfire Demo
• Pyragon Demo
• Rampage Demo
• Retaliator Demo

Nerf N-Strike Elite Hail Fire Video!

Finally! What I've been waiting for for too long and what you maybe have been waiting for: The revealing of the Hail Fire. We've already seen many photos of it, but this is the real deal from Nerf. A video showing the blaster  more detailed.

The first thing you may notice, is that the blaster has a 18-clip compatible rotating drum. That makes the blaster the highest dart capacity blaster of all the Nerf blasters, with 144 darts! Unfortunately it will only come with four clips and 24 darts :( Nerf has intended to sell a "Hail Fire Mission Kit" where you get the remaining four clips and another 24 darts. If the Hail Fire accepts drum-mags, we'll have a totally higher number. If the blaster takes eight 35-dart drum mag, the blaster will hold up to 280 darts!!!!!!!!

Let's all hope that it takes 35-dart drum-mags! :)

Nerf N-Strike Elite Rampage Promo Video

A new video from Nerf, showing the fans all the functions on the Rampage.

I just hope they'll show the Hailfire, because it looks so awesome!

Nerf Elite Blasters Revealed!

Some photos of the new series Elite has leaked from a German page, and they look awesome. As we can see now, four blasters are in the Elite series: The Retaliator, Rampage, Hailfire and Barricade (Not the official Elite name for the Barricade). The Retaliator is basically a Recon, the Rampage is a Raider, the Hailfire is new and the Barricade is remade.

Barricade (Not official Elite name)

 The Hailfire is obviously the most interesting one with multiple clips in it. My guess is that it when it's done with one clip, it either turns automatically the clip holder turret, or you have to do it manually. And it does have a button under the trigger, which suggests that i may be a  flywheel blaster.
The Barricade got a new stock, with clever dart holders.
The Hailfire got a shield and a new stock.
The Retaliator got a handle grip and a new stock.

Nerf Elite Retaliator Official Video

About a week ago, Nerf said they were announcing something interesting this week (03.03.12). So they published a video on YouTube, showing the Retaliator's main functions in a kind of promo/commercial video. Enjoy!

Nerf Double Your Darts Offer

IF you think the Nerf blasters comes with too few darts, then you're lucky! For a limited time, Nerf are doubling the amount of darts in the box of four blasters as the video shows.

I think it's a good concept. I Just wish they would do it on ALL blasters for a unlimited time ;)

Nerf N-Strike Elite Preview Video and the Hailfire!

This is a preview of what is coming this year from Nerf. The video looks sweet and so does the blasters. I can't wait until the releasing of the blasters.

The Hailfire looks awesome, still only if we couldn't see it properly. What could it be? Looks like one of those Nerf blasters from the Wii game Nerf Elite. Maybe Nerf have stated making the blasters from the game?

Anyways Neo Creations made a illustration of what he/she thinks the Hailfire will look like.

New York City Toy Fair - Nerf

At the toy fair in New York, many new Nerf blasters and other Nerf related stuff were showed to the public. Here are some of them.

The New Nerf Dart Tag Snapfire 8. Its basically a Speedswarm without the batteries and the motor. This has a whole new mechanism. There is no need to cock, just a press on the trigger and the darts will be flying! 

It has a knob on the bottom of the handle, where you can decide the power and exit speed of the dart! 

Here's a video of the blaster in action. I had to replay some times :)

Nerf Dart Tag Furyfire with GI Joe theme. What could the thing on the tactical rail be? I think it's the attachment for your iPhone, so you can film your battles. Also: What is that handle-thing in the background? It looks sweet. 

It's a Nerf bike! Don't believe me? Enlarge the picture and see the logos all over it. It have an attachment on the steering wheel for a maverick., which looks awesome.  

2012 is going to be one of the best Nerf years yet, and possibly the next years as well.

Nerf Vortex Pyragon

Also coming this year, is the Nerf Vortex Pyragon. This blaster will be the next Vortex blaster with a 40-disc magazine! The colors on the blaster will be a mix of Whiteout and a new red theme. Most likely the magazine will be compatible with other Vortex blasters. Also it haves red discs, which are supposedly tougher and shoot longer.  The pump on the blaster looks sweet on the blaster, and it maybe be there for slam-mode firing. Most of the Nerf blasters with large magazines has the slam-mode function. Lets hope the Pyragon has it too. It got tactical rails and a shoulder stock function, so most Nerf accessories will fit it.

Nerf N-Strike Elite News

Nerf revealed on their Facebook page that the Elite series is coming. They have also started to make a new page on their homepage for the Elite series. Nerf Said this: " The standout N-STRIKE ELITE blasters will officially launch on 8.1.12, with the most impressive blasters in the collection hitting shelves on 9.9.12"
We all got something to look forward to. :)

Nerf N-Strike Elite Darts

The darts look very much like a Streamline dart, only with a Sonic Dart tip. They're blue because the Nerf Elite blasters are as well. Hopefully they fit in ordinary N-Strike clips. It seems like they will whistle because of the "hole" on the tip.

Nerf N-Strike Elite Blasters (Hope they're real)

Nerf N-Strike Elite Rampage

This blaster is basically a Nerf Raider remake. It haves the slam mode firing option and a drum-mag. 

The pictures suggests that this blaster almost haves the same colors. The blaster supposedly haves a drum-mag that holds 25 darts, instead of 35, and comes with a tactical shield. The box claims that it shoots up to 75 feet (!!!). That is a huge leap from 35ft. Hopefully the clip fits other N-Strike blasters along with the darts.

Nerf N-Strike Elite Retaliator 

And this is basically a remake of the Nerf Recon. It has been repainted Elite theme, and comes with slightly different accessories.

The box says that it's a 4-in-1 blaster. That is probably because of the removable barrel, handle, stock. Remove one from the blaster an it's a different blaster. Switch two attachments and it's a different blaster. 

The barrel is removable, and is the same as the one on the Recon, except that it's blue. 

The handle is removable and is said that it does the same as a Nerf Stampede handle. 

The stock is really cool looking and is removable as well. 

The blaster comes with a clip that is longer than a 6-dart clip. A guesstimate: the clip holds 12 darts. 

The box says here too that this blaster shoots 75 feet, which is crazy much for a stock blaster. Hopefully the clip and darts fits other N-Strike blasters.

Nerf Elite

Maybe a new Nerf series is on the way. We can't be sure until Nerf themselves confirms it. But rumors has it that the Nerf Elite series will shoot blue darts, because the logo is blue. There is really nothing to do, except to wait in excite

Nerf Avengers' Hawkeye Bow

This is basically the Nerf BBB (Big Bad Bow) repainted. No wait.... it's original, but with a sticker. Nerf haves often made/repainted a blaster for a special Marvel or Hasbro movie like Iron Man or Transformers.
(please check out the post about the other movie-blasters)
The blaster/bow will probably be released when the Movie comes out.

Here's the trailer for Marvel's The Avengers

Nerf Light It Up Promotional Videos

Nerf Light It Up Series

The arrival of the Rayven and the Lumitron has gotten many to think what they are for. In what series they were in. Nerf revealed that a new series is to be released the 3rd of March 2012, with the Rayven and Lumitron as the first blasters in the series. The Light It Up series will be consisting blasters that shoot glowing darts, like the Rayven and Lumitron.
Maybe Nerf will repaint the old Firefly and put it in the series?

Nerf has Expanded?

Some are not happy that the Nerf logo has been but on many things besides the blasters. I think it's good for Nerf. They'll expand their line of products. A skateboard, scooter, shoes, camera, flash drive are just some of the new things Nerf have published. But will Nerf succeed with these products? That's up to you: If you want to help Nerf on this case, buy some Nerf shoes to fit your Nerf skateboard or scooter.

Nerf Vortex Lumitron

Another Vortex blaster has been revealed. It's the Lumitron. The Lumitron is very much alike the Praxis. Some even say it is the Praxis. But what is new about the blaster? The blaster has Firefly and XLR-disc technology, which means it shoots glowing discs. Just like the Firefly has.   The magazine has the firefly logo on, just like the Rayven.

Also: You can get 10-disc refill pack for the glowing discs.
