The zs line is the woeful consequence of attempting put out a lot of products to fill that shelf space without enough time to fully design and flesh out a unique line, instead relying on a bunch of old designs that were never good enough to hit the showroom floor.

In my perfect world where economics is not important I'd like to believe that Hasbro is trying to give everyone the choice of blaster so they can get exactly what they want. Seems unlikely though, forcing consumers to get what is close enough but not quite perfect seems more profitable.Eroomdivadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435246877114880816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699525663085656463.post-33465893642837625922013-07-11T23:45:37.843-05:002013-07-11T23:45:37.843-05:00Don't forget the sonic ice blasters!Don't forget the sonic ice blasters!MiniUinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14591870109944195402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699525663085656463.post-29548020029923742942013-07-11T16:47:48.531-05:002013-07-11T16:47:48.531-05:00Gotta keep one's head on straight among all th...Gotta keep one's head on straight among all the hype and excitement. I think if this were just news about a couple of blasters, like 3 for the Rebelle line and 3 or 4 for the ZombieStrike line, I wouldn't be as worried. <br /><br />My other worry is that there's so many blasters that are already like these. The Crossbow is awesome, but really it's the only one that stands out to me compared to the rest of the single-shot pistols. I'm looking forward to the HammerShot and the SledgeFire, too. But the HammerShot is just a recolored Wildfire in the Rebelle lineup.Reverendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06237953791786668638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699525663085656463.post-16667470705736400132013-07-11T16:40:53.646-05:002013-07-11T16:40:53.646-05:00Take it for what it's worth, but I'm reall...Take it for what it's worth, but I'm really starting to expect this sort of reaction from your blog.

There's a removable stock attachment on the rear, the tactical rail, just the overall styling of it... yeah. That's a good find. I'd put money on that speculation of yours.

I hope this is something that pulls off for them, and does not make them think twice about future release goodness. I noticed on the crossbow there is an Elite logo on the handle - looks like this was destined for the Elite range originally.MyLastDarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14626389487412971457noreply@blogger.com
