Elite Alpha Trooper - It's Real!

Spotted in the new Spring/Summer copy of the 'Argos' catalogue by one of our eagle eyed followers, the Elite Alpha Trooper will be available from March.

Personally, I'm very excited about this one. The Alpha Trooper was one of my favourite blasters and now we can expect one with Elite Ranges.

I've also noticed a new Dart Tag blaster in the catalogue as well. The Dart Tag Stinger appears to be similar to the old Stimger from 1996?

I don't know anything more than this one picture but it looks to be a single shot blaster very similar to the original.

Very cool!

Nerf Dart Tag Speedload 6, Why it's Good.

Admit it. You'd forgotten about the Dart Tag line hadn't you? I can't blame you. In the midst of 'Elite Fever' it's easy to forget about these highly specialised blasters. The range never really caught on due to the blasters poor performance and generally unweildy nature. They didn't perform as poorly or come as unweildy as the Speedload 6. It looks like a pistol but weighs the same as a small moon.

 

Almost everyone hates the Speedload 6 so imagine my surprise when I find someone who loves it. I just had to ask him to review it. I wanted to know what he saw that I had missed.
