Nerf Blaster Tops 100.... Dollars! Say Hello the Elite Rhino-Fire
 |
| Nerf N-Strike Elite Rhino Fire. 90' range. MSRP: $100.00 Available Fall 2014. |
UPDATE: Here's the full press release straight from Nerf:
NERF N-STRIKE ELITE RHINO-FIRE Blaster
(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $99.99/Available: Fall 14)
Dominate the competition with the biggest, baddest NERF blaster yet!
The N-STRIKE ELITE RHINO-FIRE blaster is the first fully automatic NERF
blaster featuring rapid-fire, double barrel blasting, an amazing 50 dart
capacity and two N-STRIKE
ELITE dart drums, turning ordinary battles into extraordinary ones. The
epic RHINO-FIRE blaster sends darts soaring impressive ELITE distances
of up to 90 feet, and features both a front handle for mobility and
tripod to ensure awesome accuracy. Includes 50
N-STRIKE ELITE darts. Six “D” batteries required, not included.
Available exclusively at Walmart.
Nerf Rhino images came off Amazon Spain, but nothing really solid to go on yet except the name and box art (which might change as well.)
Have fun!
Whew! Ok, so if I may chime in... holy carp.
Back at the Nerf All Access event (videos are posted at
click click bamf and
AFON so far) we were informed there was one more big blaster coming. I'm guessing this is it. If anyone experienced a letdown with the Cam CS-12 being revealed, hopefully this is more your speed?
The story so far:
Available Fall 2014 (most likely around the holidays)
Wal-Mart Exclusive
MSRP: $99.99
Range: 90'
Includes 50 Darts, a tripod (I'm assuming 2 x 25 round drums)
Requires 6 D batteries (!)
While I'd prefer to wait for the actual product, here's some of the chatter:
Flywheels
Pistoning barrels (like the Pulsator)
Tac-Rails (of course)
I'm sure it's only one trigger, but the early speculation also says maybe selective firing capabilities.
I already thought $80 was a bit high for the Cam, but this one tops out at $99.99, definitely for the holiday shopping frenzy. With dual barrels and who knows what else by release, this is a huge gambit to see just how much people are willing to pay, especially around holiday splurging. For the cost and the range, and the ultimately big bad feeling to come with a blaster like this, I wonder how fast it will be snatched up. If the Centurion sales (lots of people DID buy them, regardless of the performance) this just might be a big beast during the holiday season. Personally, I'm very interested to see the final product, as impressed as I am with this hype and promise at the moment. Only one way to be sure!
Anyway, thoughts?
