Nerf Mods & Reviews: Air Zone Turbo Fire


We sent a Zuru Toys  X-Shot Turbofire to Nerf Mods & Reviews to have a play and see why we thought it was a bit of a dark horse performer in the alternative-to-Nerf stakes; what's interesting though is in the States it looks like it's going to be repackaged under Toys R Us' Air Zone brand and sold for..30 bucks. For once, Australia gets something not only first, but cheaper- 2 of them were/are being sold for 25 dollars. Given our current comparable dollar exchange, that's quite a saving.

You'll notice from the pic that the Turbo Fire is identical to the one we had released in Australia- there's no stock compartment as originally seen in the design artwork that has made it into the US release.

Being an Air Zone blaster, it looks like it's exclusively Toys R Us for now.

  2. Still cheaper to buy in Australia as mentioned two for $25. I lightly modded mine by removing the air restrictors and added foam to improve air seal, it is not firing hot-glued Nerf streamline darts and blue stinger stefans to 40-45 feet. Not bad.

  3. Hey,
    I watch your blog via Google Reader and a post came to me from UT talking about Vortex being released early. I came here to look for it to comment on, but its not here. Interesting...

  4. Dear Huttser, could you provide a reference or something? I'm eager to avoid TRU if at all possible.
