MEGA Magnus UK Release Date

Finally, official news on the MEGA Magnus' appearance in the UK.

Ever since we first learned about the NERF MEGA Magnus, I have been anxious to find out whether this blaster would hit 'Old Blighty'. I recently aquired one from Singapore and I have to say, it is excellent.

But now it turns out, if I had been a bit more patient I could have saved myself a fair bit of money.


The MEGA Magnus will be available in the UK (and I guess other territories) from 1st January 2014. Fortunately it will not be an exclusive which means that it will be available from most retailers. At £14.99, it will also be considerably cheaper than I was expecting and I'm sure we can expect this price to come down as we see retailers competing.

If the pricing stays true to form, we can expect that the Magnus will be on sale for $14.99 in the US as well, although, I cannot say if this release date applies to the US too.

Below is the blurb sent to me by Hasbro. By now you are all used to this format but I thought I'd post it anyway.

NERF N-STRIKE MEGA MAGNUS Blaster

(Ages 8 years & up / Available: Jan 2014)
The N-STRIKE MEGA MAGNUS blaster boasts mighty power and MEGA distance, now in the palm of your hands! Made to go mobile, this one-handed N-STRIKE MEGA blaster features an integrated internal clip so you can reload fast and send the MEGA whistler darts screaming through the air. The MEGA MAGNUS Blaster fires MEGA darts up to 85 feet! Comes with three MEGA Whistler darts. Available at most major retailers nationwide. Visit www.nerfelite.co.uk for more info.

Hasbro clearly state above that the MEGA Magnus will hit 85 feet (25m) which means that we will not be receiving a wimpy version of the Magnus like we did with the Centurion.

I really like the NERF MEGA Magnus. It is a great blaster and I am happy to hear that we will be getting it over here.
