Elite HYPERFIRE is Out!

One of the most anticipated new NERF blasters coming out this year is the ELITE HYPERFIRE. I posted a preview of it back in January as did most every other source of NERF news. Since then we have seen several YouTube videos from the 2016 Toy Fair demonstrating just how awesome this new full-auto successor to the RAPIDSTRIKE is going to be.
 
Well it seems that the wait is just about over. The exclusive HYPERFIRE can now be found listed on the Walmart website. It's listed as "out of stock"/ not available, but still it's there and priced at $49.97 You can also get on a list to be notified by email as soon as it is available and I would expect preorders to also soon be available? Here's a link to the page Walmart HYPERFIRE
 
 
It would also seem that depending on what part of the planet you are living on the HYPERFIRE is already hitting the shelves at certain Walmart stores... NERFer- REDDIT user- YouTuber, Zombona was one of those who has already got his hands on one and he already did a few mods and posted a YouTube video about it... so here that is too. 
 
 
I really don't know what else to say at this point... I just want one! I did sign-up for the notification and I'm just anxiously awaiting to hear that the HYPERFIRE is available because I'm ready!
Thanks to Zombona Machine for the video and ...
 
NERF ON NERFerS!!!

Nerf Modulus Stealth Ops Upgrade Kit

I'm not a big fan of the MODULUS but the Stealth Ops Upgrade Kit ... that's a whole different story. I picked up one of these kits for $12.99 basically because of the red dot sight. I thought it might be a good sub if you like me were never fortunate enough to get one of the N-Strike or ELITE red dot sights.
 
The kit comes with a red dot sight, a short barrel extension, and a folding fore grip. The fore grip is small, not very comfortable and it's "wobbly" when you attach it to your blaster. Now the site is great... just what I was hoping it'd be, pretty much a copy of the old red dot sight.

 When the MODULUS series was first announced I didn't want a new series, just some new upgrades and accessories for all the N-Strike and ELITE blasters we already had. This Upgrade kit fits the bill! The short "Proximity barrel" extension works well and looks good on just about any blaster that will take a barrel extension.

In my opinion this is the best thing to come from the entire MODULUS project. When you think about it it's a re-run and a new barrel. I recommend you pick one up and put it on your favorite NERF primary or custom blaster.
