It's no secret that the most anticipated blaster of 2012 for us at UT headquarters is the Nerf Vortex Pyragon. We just LOVE that colour scheme of white, orange, black and grey (for obvious reasons) and the orange XLR discs are just an added bonus. Ultimately.. it's another Praxis, but with slamfire and that big 40 round drum.. drooooool.. Anyway its on the Hasbro site.. so we thought we'd just.. gush about it some more;D

  1. Assuming from how they positioned the front handle in the first picture, maye they noticed the design would look an edge better if the front barrel went all the way to the end of the rail that sticks out.

    Just saying.

  2. I like how they're advertising the discs as "high-visibility" and "bright-orange". Seems like they're listening to the complaints about how hard it is to find XLR discs after you've shot 'em. ;0)

    Did anyone else find all the 40- disc stuff a BIT repetitive?
