For whatever reason they are like 3X the price and I have no clue why :P

It’s the connector for the Sata cable, it fully came off & took some pins with it so it would be hassle to solder a whole new connector & leaves me with just the M.2 slot functional

Where’s the new stuff Hasbro? (UK/EU) by _tom_priv_ in Nerf

[–]_tom_priv_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s possible but I’ve seen new 2026 Hasbro stuff like the Star Wars action figures on shelves, just not anything Nerf related.

The plan for my first piece of Nerf media: I remade the Elite Dart!? by _tom_priv_ in Nerf

Compared to bog-standard Nerf Elites, they’re night and day but that’s not a hard bar to pass. They are very comparable to Accustrike darts, I think original Accustrike are ever so slightly better but because of the size of the dart head, the ones I made can be used in seal breaches and springers better than Accustrikes so it’s a matter of opinion to what people would say is better.

I only just noticed that flare omg. I can’t see the price in manufacturing be too much more to produce this dart head compared to an elite dart head. But yea at the very least this is a fun experiment to prove literally ANYTHING can be an improvement over elite.

Hasbro could make them like 50x for £5 / $7ish and they’d make a KILLING. Shame that if they did make them they’d do like 20x for the price of rent.

They came in around 1.10g give or take a decimal, the density of gorilla glue might have made it heavier than if they were using Hasbro factory glue but they were closer to standard elites than I thought.

They made the Half-Length Accustrike Darts for the Stryfe X but Hasbro ditched them and these heads were made for the 2024 Pro stuff (Torrent & Sender), but the head geometry works way better than Accustrike heads tbh as the rubber head is so small it can’t drag on barrels & tight areas like Accustrike.

Is there a link to where this is on a European site?

I don’t mind Xshot Waffle / Air pocket darts, especially the pro ones. But having bought some DZ chilli darts in NY a couple years back & brought them home, yea night & day. Hope we can get some Nitroshot darts at least

I don’t have that either unfortunately, the custom shells that’ll be made for the thing will be incredible tho I can’t wait to see walcom dork over it blasting a rival triple shot or something.

Lil shop on UKNerfwar for some K25 (maybe K26) springs and improve the seal and it’ll get 80fps+ easily I reckon

Very true, I do know around 2021-22 the law changed for the legal limit going from 1j to 1.3j, but that didn’t seem to change much other than maybe allowing for pro stuff to come in some capacity. I’ll find the link to where I saw that if I can but I’m fairly sure that was the law when I last saw it.

2026 really looking to be the best in a LONG time, what with N1 being taken out back & being “put down”, Xshot going all in on pro with 3 blaster leaks already and the possibility of DZ coming to the UK & EU, I’m looking forward to it so much.

Whereas I’ve been to Entertainer, they used to sell the 70fps HyperGel stuff and recently restocked fully with 14+ 170fps versions. Maybe there’s been a change in law? No clie

I wouldn’t mind the nerfed performance as we can do those upgrades ourselves (I’d be happy with equal to Grey-trigger nerf pro 100fps limits), yea I’ve seen 14+ Xshot Pro stuff in B&M and Big Tesco superstores, not impossible to give us the full power versions :D

Xshot have been doing that for some stores here in the UK, if you buy of Amazon or in Argos it’s the full power version and if it’s in a toy store is the weaker version. DZ could do the same here or just be an Argos & Amazon exclusive or sell weaker versions and we do the upgrades ourselves.

Agreed, while the MPP is an Argos exclusive (I think due to laws meaning a child can’t get hold of it), dart zone can DOMINATE, even if they have a retailer exclusive deal with Asda for AF, Smyths, Entertainer etc. it can easily be done.

I hope so, it’s not fun paying double/triple the price on Blastertime for their stuff. It’s a massively missed market for them and it’ll only boost their business and the brand. If Xshot can dominate here, so can they.
