New Super Soakers on shelves: Target AUS

As real as it gets:)
I'm SO impressed. Just a month after we gave you the sneak peak at the rumoured Super Soaker Thunderstorm, and images of the Point Break and they're on the shelves here in Australia already! It came from a hot tip from our man Neil from the Canberra and Southern NSW Dart Tag crew which had us race down to our local Target, Canberra City where we were greeted with several shelves of new Super Soaker goodness!

What's even more awesome is the price- Thunderstorms for only 27.95AUS, Point Breaks for under 12 bucks and the water clips for under 6? That's crazy! I'm definitely looking forward to the other blasters- at the end of the day water blasters was always where my heart really lay so it's good to see Hasbro really doing something decent with their Super Soaker line.

Reviews to come! (And yes, confirmed the Point Break IS an air pressure trigger blaster!)

  2. Kewl! i gather you are an avid water gun player? i guess that means you finally now have to actually go outside your apartment to demo and play Nerf! Dun think water gun battles indoors is as practical... hee hee. :-)

  5. Can we see some internals of the Pointbreak? I'm interested in conversion potential to Nerf.

  7. They're on shelves in Brisbane now.
    It's not too surprising they're here already - it is summer down here, perfect water fight weather, and Christmas is almost upon us.

  9. Just put out a whole bunch of Pointbreaks, water clips, and thunderstorms in Target Liverpool. We also have a crapload of AT's, Nitefinders (both single and double packs) and mavericks. There's also a few stampedes and vulcans floating around.
