Official Announcement - MEGA Rotofury

Last week we got wind that a big announcement was due this week ahead of the UK Toy Fair which UK NERF will be attending on Thursday.

If I'm honest I was a little sceptical, assuming that it would be official news about one of the N-Strike pistols that are coming out of the woodwork.

Fortunately, I was wrong!

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.

BAGW - Britnerf Annual General War

As the British Nerfing community grows through the Britnerf forum, I am happy to say that organised wars are becoming bigger and more common. The following is a report from the 1st Britnerf Annual General War (BAGW) which was held in Greenwich Park, London on 14th September 2013.

BAGW '13 Attendees

Now nearly a month on, with all the aches and bruises healed, I have finally had the chance to write a report on the day. I hope you enjoy reading.

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.

Rumor: NERF Robots?

I know what you're thinking... "Wouldn't it be great if Hasbro released a full size NERF battlesuit?"

We'll, I'm excited to tell you... It's not that.

Hasbro Christmas Party, and Updates

It's been a while, but then I've been busy (and ill).

A couple of weeks ago, I went to Hasbro's 'Christmas in July' event in London. This event was a chance for the press (and me) to have a look at all of the wonderful goodies that Hasbro would be releasing in the run up to Christmas. This would obviously include NERF stuff so naturally I was keen to attend.

 

Upcoming Zombie Strike Range - Pics included!

So, the rumours have been flying around recently regarding a new, upcoming line due to hits our stores in 2014 which has been greatly received. Usually with the response of 'HOLYDOGCOWZOMBIEHORDE BATMAN!'. However, now that more information about the range has been released, I have my doubts now...

To the pictures!

Nerf Rebelle - On the Highstreet

Whilst on his travels, MerryUnBirthday spotted both the 'Pink Crush' and the 'Guardian Crossbow' on the shelves in The Entertainer.

Priced at £8 and £25 respectively, this is the first time these blasters have been spotted in stores. I received my Guardian Crossbow through the post a couple of days ago.

Nerf Elite Rapidstrike CS-18 - UK Release Date

Official news from Hasbro finally gives us a release date for what is (for me at least) the most exciting blaster to be released this year,

My sources at Hasbro confirm that the Rapidstrike will hit the shelves from 1st August so start saving your pennies now, this thing is going to be epic.

I can't say when the Rapidstrike will be available in other territories but we can assume that it will be around the same time, if not before in some areas.

I am totally stoked about this blaster. As I have said all along, it is much more my style than the MEGA Centurion. What are your thoughts?

Like many of you, I have recently been frustrated by the exclusivity of what is possibly my favourite Nerf accessory.

Fortunately for us, the chaps over at Bay Area Nerf have decided to try and do something about it.

Nerf MEGA Centurion - Finally, a Chance to Look Inside?

Rogue over at Nerf Revolution has managed to get his hands on a MEGA Centurion, surprisingly sent to him by Hasbro themselves!

Hasbro have always had a good relationship with NRev and it's good to see that Rogue is still nerfing, even after he's been quiet for a while. Good to see your still with us buddy.

For now he has released an unboxing video but you can be sure that both a firing demo and an internals video will be posted soon.

Elite Rapidstrike Appears in the UK

UK high street toy retailer 'The Entertainer' have listed the forthcoming Elite Rapidstrike CS-18 on their website revealing some new images and good omens.

Nerf MEGA Centurion - Official News Brings Disappointment

A little late to the table but work has kept me pretty busy the last few weeks. Only just got round to posting this.

Official description of the MEGA Centurion and UK price and release date after the jump.

Nerf Mega Centurion - Firing Video

Turns out the guys on Baidu who released those lovely pictures did have a video camera after all.

I went on the Internet, and I found this...

Firstly, allow me to introduce myself. My name is BritNerfMogul, or at least it is when I'm on the internet talking about Nerf. I been 'nerfing' for just under a decade, and have extensive knowledge of Nerf blasters and modifying them, going so far as to running my own company, Higson Armouries. Recently I became involved in a new LARP event in my local area. The game is known as Dark Tempus, and runs as a Post Apocalypse game play. Set out over 2 days starting on Friday evening and finishing on Sunday afternoon, players were left to roam free, fight off zombie hordes, and try to start a new world in the midsts of staff trying to create distractions, thefts and all out spanner-in-the-works escapades.

A New Look

The website elves we have working for us here at UK Nerf have been working overtime on the blog to help us freshen it up a little.

We're happy with it for now but it's very much 'work in progress'.

Until we're finished we'll keep prodding the elves with sharp things and bribing them with cookies to try and get the most out of them. Keep an eye out for the changes as they come.

No elves were harmed in the making of this website but a couple of fairies were maimed at a party last week. We're not really too sure what happened but the police were called and a full investigation has been launched. We will not stop until we find out what happened... or lunch, whichever is sooner. Our thoughts are with the families of the fairies to whom we have sent the mutilated remains and our condolences.

LARP Aid 2013

LARP Aid is a three day charity event and for the last 10 years, these guys have been raising money through the LARP community and donating the proceeds to charity. This year’s event was only the 3rd one held in Kent and was in honour of the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance. This is a charity that is close to my heart so I was keen to go along, check it out and help in any way that I could.

Nerf Elite Rapidstrike CS-18 - More Pics and Firing Video

I know UK Nerf has been more than a little laxed with regards to the wild speculation and rumour mongering over the new Elite Rapidstrike CS-18. It's not that I don't care. Far from it. I do love feeding the rumour mill.

The simple fact is that work has kept me away from Nerf for the last couple of months. Just my luck that all of the juicy gossip has surfaced whilst I've been away.

So, back to what I love most... Nerf, new stuff and speculation.

Britnerf - The British Community Turns 2

The British Nerf forum is currently celebrating it's 2nd birthday.

Formed back in 2011, the Britnerf community has continued to grow because of the dedication and support from it's members. 

Nerf Elite Rapidstrike CS-18 and Mega Centurion Release Dates?

If you have already given us a like on our Facebook Page, you'll already know that there was a bit of excitement on eBay.co.uk the other night.

A keen eyed member of the BritNerf Forum spotted listings for both the Elite Rapidstrike CS-18 and Mega Centurion on ebay.co.uk. Naturally I jumped on it and bought one of each!

The next morning, I received a phone call from the seller saying that the items were only meant to be added to their inventory and weren't actually supposed to be listed. I was a little disappointed, but deep down I knew it was too good to be true.

However, the lovely chap on the phone kindly offered me a great deal. To apologise for the mishap, he offered me 50% off the bill when stock becomes available... on 22nd May.

Could this be an 'official' release date for both of these blasters?

Initially I was dubious. I know that often, large retailers get stock well in advance of the release date. Although I should receive mine at this time, I doubted that the official release date would be this early in the year.

But then I stumbled upon this.

Whilst researching the new blasters, I stumbled upon TEF.com. They list the Mega Centurion on their site. Unfortunately the page doesn't give us any more information on the blaster but it does list the release date. "Coming soon to MAY!"

So now that's two sources indicating May as a release date for both the Mega Centurion and the Elite Rapidstrike. Starting to sound interesting isn't it? It does raise one question though...

What do we have to look forward to on 9/9/13?
