NERF or NOTHING! community Contest Rules

 

-ONLINE COMMUNITY NERF BATTLE GAME- 

 

I'm hoping this contest is relatively simple and fun! It is for the most part a game of chance so all players have an equal opportunity to win.  It will be a last man standing-elimination competition, played until there is a final winner.

Go to NERF or NOTHING! community to enter.


RULES OF ENGAGMENT

1- Players must be community members. Each player starts the contest with 3 "darts". 

2- If a player is unsuccessful in completing a mission or "hit" they loose a dart (unless otherwise specified).

3- If a player is "hit" 3 times and looses all their darts they are eliminated from the competition.

4- Players must compete in every round or take an automatic "hit" for that missed mission.

5- Report For Duty Rule: Players may join the game late BUT must report in the missions comment section that they are joining and take a penalty "hit" for each missed mission.

6- Missions must be completed and all choices final by deadlines. You may make changes within that time (unless otherwise specified). Mission results  and new missions will be posted after deadline of previous mission.

7- Go with your gut! "Real life" blaster performance has little or no effect on the outcome of missions or gameplay but be prepared for surprises!

8-  Should any shipping restrictions / laws arise prizes may be substituted. Judges decisions are final.

9- Have Fun!  Good Luck!  Happy Hunting!

NERF ALIIEN MENACE-PREVIEW

Such hot news it's burning my... tentacles?

Yes news of a brand new series of blasters is out! Now this breaking news is just flying out over the interwebs and I'm seeing YouTube videos and posts popping up everywhere even as I'm writing this.  With this news comes images of two of the new blasters from the series, the RAVAGER and the INCISOR. So let's just get down to it!
 This is what I've found out so far, and most of the information I'm posting comes directly from Hasbro's shareholder release packet.


NERF ALIEN MENACE  RAVAGER-

This is an 8 dart, pump-action blaster with a rotating barrel. I've heard that it boasts pretty decent, Elite-like ranges? It will include 8 ALIEN MENACE darts and  be a Toys R Us exclusive. It should sell for around $29.99 US dollars. Of coarse it is scheduled for release in the Fall.

 

NERF ALIEN MENACE  INCISOR-

                                                              

 Next we have this blaster. I think it's my favorite of the two at this point, but it's too early to say for    sure. The INCISOR is a 16 dart, motorized-flywheel driven beauty with a unique top mounted drum.  The INCISOR will come with the blaster itself and 16 ALIEN MENACE darts and will also require 4 AA batteries (not included). It will also be available exclusively at Toys R Us, this Fall, for an estimated $39.99 USD.      

                                                                                                        

                                                                                                    

I'm always excited about anything new coming from NER, even if it turns out to not exactly be my particular cup of tea. These new designs sort of remind me of something H. R. Giger might come up with... am I the only one? We'll see what more has to be said for these blasters and the new ALIEN MENACE series in general, but until then keep your eyes on the sky and...

NERF MODULUS Close-Quarters Combat Kit

I wrote up this little post for my Nerf community N or N. After posting it I thought I had better put a version up on my Blog for my readers who don't mess around with Google communities.  

Here is a look at the newest MODULUS upgrade kit! It will feature a foam blade with a rail mount so you can attach it to your blaster, bayonet style! The kit will also includes 2 "STUNNER" grenades that look like the will emit some sort of irritating noise, and 2 rail mount clips to also mount those Modulus Stunners to your blaster. The kit is made by Perpetual Play Group. I'm still not a fan of the MODULUS series but these are so gimmicky I just might have to get them to use with my N-Strike and Elite blasters.

Epic Battle of Hero Nerf Blasters

STARLORD vs. CAPTAIN AMERICA

               Last Post of the First Month!           A Winner is Declared!



For the past month I've been conducting a poll on 2 Google+ communities as well as here at NERFARIUM. The poll was to determine which Marvel hero based blaster fans preferred, Star-Lord's QUADBLASTER or Captain America's STEALTHFIRE SHIELD. Both are more promotional and gimmicky than actual well preforming blasters, but still fun non the less. I own each and have posted reviews of each which you can read by clicking the links  Capt America STEALTHFIRE SHIELD and Star-Lord QUADBLASTER .
The battle waged on for a month and it was virtually an even match the whole time! Star-Lord would pull ahead in the polls by a couple of votes and just as fast the "Cap" would catch up and pull ahead. Now the votes have stopped coming in and I think it's time to call it and declare a winner. This poll was interesting because not only did we put 2 blasters up against each other but also the heroes who wield them. 
It might be worth mentioning that Captain America has been more recently seen in theatres back in May of 2015 in "Age of Ultron" and will be back again this May in "Civil War". Not to mention the other 3 movies he's been in, while Star-Lord hasn't been seen since "Guardians of the Galaxy" way back in August of 2014 and won't be back until "Guardians Volume2" in May of 2017. We may love Star-Lord but Captain America is a very, very popular guy!
Maybe face time with the public paid off for the Captain because the Marvel Captain America The Winter Soldier STEALTHFIRE SHIELD (yep, that's the full name) is the WINNER.

The winner- STEALTHFIRE SHIELD!

The STEALTHFIRE SHIELD won by a 57 to 43 percent margin, getting 24 out of 42 of the total votes. Star-Lord's QUADBLASTER was ahead in the poll several times and got a respectable 18 votes in the end.  I thought it was fun and much more interesting than the average mundane "what blaster is better?"- poll. Thanks to everybody who participated in the poll.

One more look at our competing blasters.

Captain America and his mighty shield are due back in theatres on May 6th in Captain America: Civil War. You never know, maybe there will be a new theme inspired Nerf blaster and a brand new poll? What would you think about that?

NERF MEGA MASTODON- preview

My 2nd pick.

So I've been thinking hard about the second blaster I would get when the Fall line comes out. Keep in mind that this is only based on the blasters that we know about at this point. I wouldn't be at all surprised if something else is announced down the road that blows us away some how. But until that happens my second choice is the MEGA MASTODON. So let's take a look at it.

 

The MASTODON is the first fly wheel driven MEGA series blaster. It would most likely be my first MEGA blaster since thus far I haven't been a big fan of the MEGA series and don't own any. There are several reasons why this 24 dart MEGA blaster might change my mind. First thing this design kind of reminds me of a BARRACADE or STOCKADE design, but the reason they lacked was to much noise vs. 4 more darts than a MAV or STRONGARM. Now this beast does it right with 24 darts and they are MEGA!!!

 

I like a big blaster. The MASTODON has a pistol grip, a D handle, and a sling/strap. In a way it reminds me of a fictional blaster I hoped Hasbro would make called the HAMMERHEAD GL-1. I'm excited to see the mods people come up with for this thing.

 

Now the MM is going to be pretty hefty to start out and then you're going to fill it up with 6 D batteries so this is no little kids blaster, and at around $80 it'll break your piggy bank for sure! Again this falls into my category of blaster... if you know me I like to pack a VULCAN or PUNISHER and I have 2 RHINOFIRES, I like big blasters enough said

 

Now I've been studying the one picture we have all and I've noticed a few things (maybe I should have read more reviews before I wrote this, oh well) This big button right in front of the dart cylinder. it has to be a cylinder release like most of the REV blasters have for re-loading, right?

 

 

Another curious thing is in the picture I can't see an acceleration trigger so I wonder about that? Will it simply have an on/off switch like the BARRACADE and STOCKADE?

Where's the acceleration trigger?

Now there is one last thing that actually terrifies me. Maybe some of you would be ok with this but not me. Look at the attachment point... what if the D- handle fires the dart and advances the cylinder? Think about it. The trigger only activates the flywheel motors and pushing the D-handle forward and pulling it back fires the dart and rotates the next one in to place. I  hope that is not the case.

 

 

 

Does anyone remember back in April of 2014 when this fake image of the not yet released Rhino Fire was put out on Reddit and Tactical Tag as a joke? Look how close to the mark those guys were to an actual blaster.

I guess this thing looks like a ROTOFURY too, only a fan photo shop job.

We'll find out the details about the new exciting MEGA MASTODON  as we get closer to the fall release date so be on the look out for updates. Until then...
