Nerf announced on their Facebook page the other day a couple of new repaints for the Toys R Us exclusive series, Sonic.  Here's the complete lineup: Previously Released: Maverick Nite Finder Recon Vulcan Deploy Just Released: Barrel Break Barricade Longstrike Stampede  So what do you think?  Is Nerf making to many repaints?  I think so.  They should spend more time on new blasters, not new plastic. Happy Nerfing!

Nerf has unexpectedly put a new blaster into Kmart and TRU stores yesterday, the Jolt EX-1.  This is a micro sized  blaster- about the size of the Reflex.  They cost around $4.50-$5.  Ranges are 35-40 feet.  We'll see if I can my hands on one... Happy Nerfing!

Now that all the hupla is over and Nerf Nation has their Vortex, I'm looking back at some of the ads that I saw in store's flyiers and newsletters. Walmart: Target: Many other stores, such as Shopko and Toys R Us had Vortex in their stuff but I never bothered to take a screenshot of it.  Happy Nerfing!

Kmart.com now has all six of the Nerf Vortex line products on their website !  Right now the Nitron is ready to preorder but the rest say that they are "out of stock" but will arrive shortly.  Some of the products are slightly overpriced, but lower than TRU.  The site indicates that they are available at some Kmart stores, but not mine. This is the first time I've seen the refill pack for sale anywhere.  Also, the picture of the Vigilion is wrong.  It shows a picture of the Proton.  Oh, well.  Mistakes happen. Happy Nerfing!

Hasbrotoyshop.com - Nerf's official place to buy Nerf blasters- now has all the new Vortex blasters available for preorder, but no refills.   They will ship on September 12th.  Prices are as what they should be, not like TRU's.  :-)  I'm still debating either to preorder here or wait until they are in my local stores... Happy Nerfing!

Now kmart.com has the new Nerf Vortex Nirton avalible for preorder.  Price is about the same as Walmart's, but not TRU's and itwould ship 9/10/11.  No other Vortex blasters on yet... Happy Nerfing!

Hello all fellow citizens of Nerf Nation, I've now seen the Vortex blasters and clips on toysrus.com - they are available for preorder but like always are $5 more than other stores. (Go with walmart.com , they have better pricing.) Also, target.com has the pictures, but no descriptions or prices, of the Vortex blasters. As of today, K-Mart has no Vortex info on their site. Watch here for more Nerf News.  If you have found blasters at a local store of yours or have any opinions on the Vortex blasters, tell me in the comments.  Hope you had a great Monday!
