Retaliator Range Test and Other Elite News

Well it looks like a fella got his hands on the Rampage and the Retaliator early. He also got a bunch of elite darts and the new clip that's going to be sold separate.

So good news is it looks like Nerf will be selling 18 round clips by them selves which is awesome!!! This will be a great way to stock up. the price is yet to be determined and could not even be worth it. Only time will tell but my hope is that they will be in the $10 range or so, but it will more likely be either $15 or (heaven forbid) $20. I will be looking forward to see what price they will be and you can bet that the amount of clips I buy will be dependent on the price they ask for it.

But moving on to the range test...

Unfortunately the video isn't that clear, but he says that they get 54 feet and 57-58 feet with elite darts. Now I notice a couple of things. The Normal nerf dart that was fired didn't go very far. So it looks like using the elite darts with these new blasters may be a must. This might be by design, as nerf wants you to buy more product. Also these ranges were fired with the barrel on, so the 75 feet may be not as made up as previously thought. I think that with the barrel off and a slight angel you could get 75 feet. It looks promising so far. We can only hope for the best.
