Nerf Whiteout Series: More spotted @ Walmart

I saw these while on my travels (whoo.. Walmart.. such a novelty for me!) but one of our readers has sent through an impressive couple of pics that shows the Nerf Whiteout series are well and truly States-side. We love the Whiteout series. Totally:)

 Thanks James for the pics!

Nerf Whiteout Series: Darts spotted @ Walmart

Unfortunately I haven't spotted these myself on my travels, but sent to us; spotted in a Walmart in the "middle of nowhere". Thanks for the intel Jason!

Whiteout + Super Soaker: Sorta works

Since the Whiteout series was announced, there's been much speculation about how cool it'd be to mix and match the attachments from the Whiteout blasters with the new 2011 Super Soaker line. We've been lucky enough to have the full suite of both lines, and were looking forward to doing a whole lot of mix n matching.. right? 

Well.. sort of. Firstly, although both blasters are predominantly white, they do use different colour palates- mainly the navy blue with the Super Soakers vs the grey and black of the Whiteout series. The attachments don't clash, but they're not an ideal match either. Secondly, Nerf's choice of blasters for the Whiteout series looked awesome in the scheme, but aren't really compatible with the Super Soakers. None of the Whiteout blasters accommodate the regular Raider/Recon stock- Longstrike and Deploy have their own unique stocks, and the Maverick and Nitefinder don't have the attachment. In turn, none of the Super Soakers can accommodate the barrel attachment of the Longstrike... so really, all we're really left with.. is the Longstrike sight.. and the Shot Blast scope:( Still.. we made do with what we had.. more pics after the jump:)

Nerf Whiteout Series: It's official...

"Official photos of the Nerf Whiteout series have now been posted. Keep checking this page for updates on international availability."

Yup, there you have it folks. Today Nerf finally released "official" photos of their Whiteout series on their Facebook page.

Hundreds of msgs and emails I've encountered from readers since JANUARY this year calling my images "fake" and "that's so obviously painted" can now.. well.. change their screen names or pretend their youTube accounts got 'hacked' by trollz:P

That being said.. it's interesting the 'tone' Nerf have used with their announcement...it's almost like reluctance more than anything else? Maybe their PR person is sick today..

Nerf Whiteout Series: A Picture essay:P

Rainbow 6 also performed in the 90's as the Backstreet Boys..

 As you can see from my Rainbow 6 squad here, I finally picked up the last of the Whiteout series I was needing to do the full sweep. I've already done pic spams for most of them already.. but now that they're all together, I thought I'd get a lil arty and just take some pics of the best looking Nerf colour scheme to date; it's gratuitous, but then, so is having 5 varieties of Nitefinder:P Actual pics after the jump:)

Whiteout Deploy CS-6: Up Close + Personal PIC SPAM

Continuing with our "coming soon" pics, we've gotten a hold of some more, this time of the Whiteout series N-Strike Deploy CS-6. I've never been a fan of this blaster in the past, but it looks trick in white- definitely gives it an extra certain something. Obviously it's just an aesthetic release so there's not much else I can really say about it other than.. priddy:)  More images after the jump.

Whiteout Deploy CS-6.. priddy

Whiteout Deploy CS-6. Awesome.

Spotted on the Canberra and Southern NSW Dart Tag Facebook page. Possibly via Taobao.com Whiteout just looks awesome. Thanks Neil for the heads up!

Nerf N-Strike 'Whiteout' series: It's confirmed- SGNerf

It's officially called the "Whiteout" series and has come without any official warning! You'll recall we got ourselves a white Maverick a few months back, lending itself to much speculation and discussion (and perhaps a bit of confusion too). A few pricelists popped up over time but not much else, so this would have to be the first time we've actually seen/heard of a real title for the line.  

And.. straight up they're available in Singapore, as posted by SG Nerf this morning. We were speculating what the forth blaster would be (We know the Maverick, Deploy and Nitefinder were on the pricelists) and it's confirmed it's the Longstrike CS-6 and it looks TRICK in this new colour scheme.  It's an interesting choice with the Longstrike, and many of the haters will roll their eyes at this (actually many of the haters will roll eyes at the idea of ANOTHER paint job anyway) but it really works.

A selection of pics courtesy SGNerf is featured after the jump, but for the full kit and kaboodle, hit up his blog.

Note: Interestingly enough, despite this official release today there's no official mention of the Whiteout series anywhere on the Nerf site or Facebook page. Any attempts to post images of the Whiteout blasters on their Facebook page have been removed?!  Could it be another case of "if it ain't in the US it doesn't exist" mentality?
