NERF MEGA Centurion - UK Release

Following the big release party last night (Blame_Stosh's report coming soon), Hasbro UK have sent out a press release for the NERF MEGA Centurion.

There isn't much new here but it does at least confirm the blasters ranges.

Read the official UK press release after the jump.

"Nerf launches its FURTHEST FIRING BLASTER EVER!!!

Get ready to launch a long-range assault with this incredible high-calibre blaster! Available from 1^st October, the mighty MEGA CENTURION blaster possesses a massive and unparalleled 75 foot dart firing distance.

The MEGA CENTURION is the furthest firing blaster in Nerf history and is loaded with the new whistling MEGA dart, which is nearly twice the size of a standard ELITE dart and screams through the air when fired.

Featuring a removable bipod, owners of this formidable blaster will enjoy unprecedented power, precision and distance.

The blaster comes with the removable bipod, one six-dart clip and six MEGA darts. Available at major toy retailers nationwide. For ages 8 years & up. SRP: £49.99

Most of this we already knew. There aren't any revelations here but at least this is a solid confirmation that the European market will be getting the wimpy version.

The official release was this morning but I have been getting emails from people reportedly picking up Centurions from Argos and Toys 'R' Us from as early as last week.

Currently the best deal out there is at Toys 'R' Us where you will receive a free dart pack with your blaster. Trust me, you'll need them!
