NERF DOOM IMPENDING

Doom- a noun most commonly referring to very bad events or situations that can not be avoided. Death or ruin.  Doom implies an inevitable and usually adverse outcome. Judgment. I think you all get the idea. It is a word that has often appeared in our comics, sci-fi, and video games as well and now it seems we have it in our Nerf too.
Sure I'm talking about the Zombie-Strike DOOMINATOR


ToysRus/DOOMINATOR pre-order I'm a fan of the Z-S series (for the most part) so I've been looking forward to this monster and I'm glad to see it's finally coming out. I'm definitely going to get one. Priced at $40 I might wait for the sale price?

  





BUT THAT IS NOT ALL IT'S 2169...


 The DOOMLANDS 2169 series... We recently got a sneak-peek  at the VAGABOND and then the LAWBRINGER and now it's official.  The year is 2169 and at least one asteroid has since hit the Earth, the LAWBRINGER box illustrates the north-eastern U.S. taking a massive direct impact so  things are pretty messed up, I think Mel Gibson and Tina Turner might be around...? and we got new blasters.



"Hey Mel! What Tina?
They could call one the
Mega Master Blaster.
Ha  ha ha!" 
DOOMLANDS 2169 LAWBRINGER & VAGABOND
They both look good enough but I might have rather seen them as additions to either the Elite or Zombie-Strike series and not yet another new series with a whole new theme and a color scheme that sort of matches a couple of the Z-S blasters anyway.
 Will the  DL2169 series give us some good basters or is it   doomed?








MODULUS- TrU is taking pre-orders for 8-1 ship date.   (TrU link)

Doomed ...

 is the feeling I'm getting about the new MODULUS ECS-10. A re-shelled STRYFE  for $50 with 4 up-grade kits- accessories kits for $15 each. NERFerS like me wanted  accessories but I don't think this is what we were expecting or what we wanted.


 From me they might get $15 just for the remake of the red dot sight just because I wish I had an original, but you know...$$$

That's about the only interest I have in this blaster at all and I know other Nerfers who have no interest at all. I guess we will see what happens with this series? Maybe they will come out with some better core blaster or some must have accessory like a decent missile launcher?
 Perhaps the MODULUS is doomed?

So prepare yourself for the coming of Doom from NERF and until then...
  

NERF ON NERFerS!!!

note* Dr. DOOM is in no way associated with NERF or the impending NERF DOOM. No blaster deal, nothin'.

"THE STINGER" ELITE RAYVEN CS-12

I've always wanted one of these...


 The bull- pup designed, flywheel driven RAYVEN might have been my favorite of the original N-STRIKE series except for that unique sickly pale green color that matched nothing else. But then in 2013 there was the quietly re-released exclusively available N-Strike Elite RAYVEN CS-12 STINGER version.

NEW NERF BLASTERS SPOTTED & LEAKED.

That's right I said it, "Spotted and Leaked"... worse than a baby's diaper...


So did everybody see these new pics and all the "what we got so far" stuff about the ROTOFURY,  VAGABOND and LAWBRINGER, even a new Rebelle? Finally a little excitement! Let's start off with the MEGA ROTOFURY (right after the jump).
