2013 N-Strike Elite teasers

[img][/img]

Well, finally Hasbro is throwing the online community a bone. This picture is of the side of a Retaliator box, posted on Urban Taggers by Pocket.Esq.

The NEW Firestrike and Mysteryblur

The Mysteryblur is what I call the blaster in the pocket left of the Firestrike, where the Reflex IX-1 used to be.

The Firestrike on the other hand, is an Elite version of the Nite Finder EX-3, but on closer inspection, unlike the rest of the Elite Series copies, the shell of the blaster is different, with a large orange piece on the front, and a uninterrupted(enclosed) white stripe going diagonally down on the blaster. Seeing how far it is holding that larger Elite dart, the barrel is probably longer also

That's the only Elite item i'm keen for. After there announcement that Australia won't be getting the 75ft ranges, everyone wanted. =_=

As long as we get direct plungers. Then it should be sweet.

Now that I think about it. (In my Ghetto voice I say:)
'True Dat.'

A Promotional "G.I.Joe" Battle-Katana Blaster from the side of a Ninja Commando Blaster box (They asre pulling at straws for names these days)

Sounds epic, but looks weird. In the closeup, it seems that there is a blade stored in the handle, which you cannot use while shooting. You may need to hold the blaster upside down to use the sword, which is WEIRD and would be banned at Brisbane wars due to the toughness of the Nerf foam they use for swords.

Results of a google search...
I thought I was on to something, but it doesn't even shoot foam darts, although it could be modded to shoot foam. It seems to have a removable blaster system like the Switch Shot, and if you kept the connectors and the shell the same, it would work.



That knife looks bad ass though

Something that is of a little more concern is this pic:



Displaying the darts are a different size.
Hmmm.

It's a trick of perspective. Take a closer look and allow for the angle the picture was taken on. If the darts are as large as it apears then the magwells would be larger which we know that they arn't ( SG Nerf N-Strike elite 25 drum clip leak and Modworks internals pics)

The Clips in the first picture seem to be filled completely across by the darts, whereas, micros have a 4-5mm leeway. It is really hard to tell.

Dart pic is on an angle, in reality they are just a tad longer, and can fit in normal magazines. There's this chinese guy on the HvZ forums who sourced some pre-production models and confirmed that the darts work in current N-Strike, and vice-versa.

That is good news, we don't have to worry about changing new blasters to be backwards compatible.

I don't suppose anyone has an idea of whether or not the "Reon" is in the DP or RP category yet?

I'd assume direct plunger given the pics of the 'Raider'.

hmm I wonder, if the retaliator internals are fitted similarly to how the rampage's internals are fitted, if it would be possible to transfer them to the longstrike with a little tweaking of the shell?

...if so, I think a hell of a lot of people will be happy to finally get some range from their longstrikes. just some food for thought.

From what I've seen on SGnerf's Modworks, the blaster internals are basically mini longshot internals (Direct plunger). I'm glad this is happening because it means that Hasbro is no longer using the recon as their base blaster for everything. So my question now is how would they beef up the longshot? Maybe (If they ever release an elite longshot) it will come stock with a stronger spring and a sealed breech? Who knows.

Either way, I'm pumped for the firestrike. I was kicking myself the other day for never buying a nite finder, I was going to buy some when I got my Stampede but decided against it. Now I think I'll wait until these bad boys come out.

I wonder how these new darts differ from the normal ones? Cooler looking? More rigid foam?

EDIT: I also can't wait for 12 dart mags, IMO 18 dart mags can be a bit long in some circumstances (But they're still awesome)and 6 dart mags are just so small. 12 dart mags seen to be just what I'm looking for
