Instagram: More Strong Arm and WTF goodness:P

Soo... here's what you can find on Instagram:) Spotted by no other than our main man Neil from the Canberra and Southern NSW Dart Tag crew...

Rumours: Strong Arm and... WTF!

This is some pretty cool intel; one of our readers was browsing Tumblr and stumbled across some photos of an actor who apparently does Nerf commercials... the first image, we can identify as the much anticipated N-Strike Elite Strong Arm..

 Here's a pic montage of the dude.. but hang on.. have a look at the blaster in the right hand image... Ok let's zoom in..

Oooh.. I'm thinking that's a pump action grip? Whoo hoo it's speculation time!

Cheers Collin for the lead!

Sly Dev- for those who like to accessorise

So the Pyragon has definitely been my favourite Nerf blaster of the year and I've loved the way it looks with the black painted stock and Pinpoint sight, but sometimes you just get greedy and want..more. The whole "it'd be really cool if there was a tactical rail on the SIDE.."

I'm sure I'm not the only person in the world to have thought this, and this is where our friends at Sly Dev come in. In case you haven't heard of them, Sly Dev is a nifty lil' Australian company that sells very reasonably priced attachment pieces made from a 3D printer that you can glue onto your blaster, allowing you to add more attachments. They come in a variety of colours and are really well made and designed. Check out some of the pics after the jump or visit their site.

Arts + Crafts: Aliens style ammo counter kit

This is just awesome- our local hero for mods, Mr Wolfe from Combustible Props kindly helped us (and by help I mean did it all himself)  install a VERY cool Aliens style ammo counter kit, courtesy of  our friends at German site Blasterparts.de.  We were pretty impressed-it's a very polished, well made piece of kit- the counter can be configured to countdown any sized clip, and resets on removal. And check out the flashing of the muzzle.. imagine this with some firefly darts..

I asked Mr Wolfe to mount the counter to the side of the stock Stampede ECS to show you how it looks and works in raw form; but it could be integrated in a variety of different ways on your blaster depending on your own tastes and amount of time you want to put into it. Check the kit out on Blaster Parts or hit up Combustible Props on Facebook if you have any questions on the install.

YouTube: Fox Lounge blaster goodness

Brought this to my attention from our man Jason, we've got all sorts of toy blaster goodness with celebrities happening on the Fox Lounge; check it out and lemme know what you thought it was that caught my eye about this... :)

NERF branded attractions coming to the UK

Well, it was bound to happen. I reckon there's a good chance we've all at least one time in our Nerf life thought "you know what would be a really cool business idea? Setting up our own Nerf themed indoor/outdoor arena"..

Well looks like someone's taken it further and made it a reality- 4-traders.com have reported that UK company Paragon Entertainment have just entered a licencing agreement with Hasbro for the rights to build and operate Nerf themed attractions in the UK.

"Under the terms of the license, Paragon will design, build and operate Nerf attractions which will consist of purpose-built Nerf action arenas and Nerf blaster target ranges, with additional concepts in development. These attractions will also include a retail space where visitors can buy their favourite blaster"

Apparently first cab of the rank will be at the Westfield Shopping Mall in Merry Hill due to be opened by the end of the year?

Rumours: Triad with grey trigger

The N-Strike Elite grey triggers are featured on Nerf gear destined for Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Brazil and China. China I hear you say? Well spotted on Baidu is the upcoming Triad EX-3, but unlike the previous photos, this one's got the grey trigger...
