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.

X-Shot: Turbofire

We got ourselves the much anticipated X-Shot Turbofire; this is a blaster from the second release of blasters from relatively unknown toy manufacturer Zuru. They seem to have ditched the dual ammo of foam and water and just concentrated on releasing a blaster that shoots just foam darts. 20 of them, to be exact, with a pump action cocking mechanism under the muzzle, and an inbuilt  ammo drum. X-Shot blasters have been touch and go- we had the surprisingly awesome Stealth, followed by the absolute rubbish that was the Thundershot. So how does this one go? More pics and info after the jump.
