                                         I've now placed my order for that Dart Tag Speedload 6 I earned for doing that Nerfmobile stuff for my sister, Alainea.  See that video 9/1/2011.   Walmart has a great price for $10 and free shipping to home.  It should arrive between 9/1/2011 and 9/8/2011.  Reviews (written and video) will come as soon as I can make it.  By then Vortex will be days away!  Wow! Happy Nerfing!

I'm taking a short vacation Monday Evening until Friday night to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon.  (If you can offer any help to my fear of flying, please do tell me.) My family has a LONG story on the vacation planning from pop-up ads to snowstorm surprises.  If I ever have a huge break on Nerf news, I'll get around to tell it.  Anyway,  I'll have an Internet connection most of the time, even on the plane, to respond to comments and Tweet, but no blogging here unless there is a major Nerf emergency. I have 3 posts scheduled for this week to post automatically: Monday at 9:00 AM CST: JaRu Cyber Strike Rocket Pumper Review Wednesday at 9:00 AM CST: Buzz Bee Hunter Review Friday at 9:00 AM CST: Nerf N-Strike Reflex IX-1 Review Before school starts September 1st, I'll have up the Nerf N-Strike Recon CS-6 Review, the Whiteout Whistler Darts review with comparison to past sonic/whistler darts, and a range test of all my blasters...

I've been searching around the Internet for the new Vortex blasters and found them for preorder on Amazon.com.  It took me a while to find them because they do not come up with a "Nerf Vortex" search. Nerf Vortex Proton : $15 Nerf Vortex Vigilion : $22 Nerf Vortex Praxis : $30 Nerf Vortex Nitron : $55 (No Tech Packs or Refill Packs) The Nitron has some reviews on it also.  All blasters will have free shipping if you order $25 worth and will be released on September 1st.  (My first day of school!) If you don't know what the Vortex blasters are, check out Nerf.com's Vortex Site or this post .
