On my hunts for random blasters on the internet and IRL, I've noticed them being in slightly odd places/stores you wouldn't expect. How so? well check these out a bit.
Cabela's doesn't have Nerf, but they seem to have an abundance of the new BuzzBee blasters, and a lot of other 3rd party things. http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/browse/hobbies-games-toys-shooting-toys/_/N-1101390/No-48/Ns-CATEGORY_SEQ_104565780?WTz_l=SBC%3BMMcat104799780&WTz_st=GuidedNav&WTz_stype=GNP
Dollar General DOES have Nerf, but it's pretty damn expensive sometimes. It's not on their website, but there are Mavs, Nitefinders, and Reflexes at mine. they also have BuzzBees, but only Double Shots, Tommy 12s, and refill bags it seems. http://www.dollargeneral.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12290228
They also have a brand of pop-ish blasters, dunno how good those are, but they advertise 40 feet or so.
Jerm on Nerf Mods and Reviews apparently found some Nerf at Best Buy, but only Mavs, 'Cades, and Vortexes. http://www.nerfmodsreviews.com/2011/11/nerf-guns-at-best-buy.html
They do have sorta role-playish blasters and swords on Lego's site, and some they used to have were recasts of BuzzBees, including the (slightly) coveted Big Blast, but the site is working like shit for me, so I can't give a link.
If you know of any other weird places to find swag, please tell me so I can add them to this.
This is an exciting blog about things that are exciting, namely (exciting) toy weapons such as Nerf.

Review: Bionicle Ice Sword
Material: Foam with holographic insert
Range: N/A
Ammo: N/A
The first thing you'll notice is: The badass shape and its pain potential.
Well, since I have no way of getting range calculation for any of my blasters since I'm too lazy to figure out how to test them, I may as well do *gasp* A MEEEEEEELEEEEEEEE REEEEEEVIEEEEWWWWWW!!!!!!! So anyways, check this thingy out, it's kinda cool, with ok build quality. (Meaning that it's sorta nice foam with printing all over and holographic stuff on the inside.
Anyways, I got this a while back when I was ordering Lego stuff. It was on sale, and I like violent but harmless objects, so this was right up my alley. Before I tell you much else, lemme say that this is one hard freaking sword. I hit myself a few times with it as a test (Because sword fights never seem to break out when your brothers are doing other stuff or are away at college.), and it hurt, about as much as light hit with a bat. You could bruise someone with this thing if you tried hard enough, so it's kinda dangerous.
Another noticeable thing is that it's kinda short. Yeah, this is huge to littler kids, but it seems like a weird dagger thing to older Nerfers, but it does still work well, being fairly fast and sturdy. Not much else to say aside from the fact that this is probably discontinued, so good luck finding one.
The ratings:
Fun: 8.5 (After all, what is more fun than batting a friend or relative around with a semi-life size Bionicle weapon?)
Cool Factor: 9 (it really does look like its Bionicle counterpart, so that's pretty cool.)
Effectiveness: 7 (it could get flimsy in a heated battle considering its not THAT durable.)
Durability: 8.2 (not bad at all, better than the Shadow Fury and Thunder Fury, but potentially flimsy.)
Price: 10 (I got mine for around 6 or 4 dollars, but price may vary by now.)
Overall: 8.7 (It's cool, and not a bad little sword, but take care hitting it.)
Range: N/A
Ammo: N/A

Yo.
So, I guess this is the first post, huh? Well, I'm Nesbro, better known as Chris by some, but whatever. I'm a fan of toy blasters, mostly foam, but the new Max Forces have been tempting me. Anyways, you'll be seeing mostly Nerf or the like on this blog, but I'll post some other blaster related things occasionally, as well as opinions and news. I get most of my news from Nerf Mods and Reviews and Urban Taggers, so I'll have them on my blogroll since they're 2 very cool guys and 2 very good blogs. Well, I hope you enjoy this blog and all.
