Vintage/Rare blaster's

Okay, I've posted these pic's in the flaunting thread, but feel that the following blaster's deserve their own thread....




Expand-a-blast, Splitfire, Secret Shot and Sharpshooter:




Wildfire, Lightning Blitz and AT2K:



Comic Con 2011 Limited Edition Transformer's Barricade RV-10



Nerf Maverick Gear-Up edition:



Nerf Max Force Razorbeast, Mad Hornet and Rattler:



Mattel Ultimator, Lanard Rotator X-8 and Mega Missile:




At some stage over the next few weeks, I'll open up the blaster's, and take some internal pic's/review's.

I've also got some mod's planed for a few of the blaster's, and will post them up when I actually manage to get some workshop time.

Cheers,

:O vintage <3 I wish I was able to get my hands on even one (hoping a supermaxx 1500) but I can't afford any and wouldn't even know where to start looking

I managed to acquire the wildfire and mad hornet from SgNerf, on the nerfSg forum.

The splitfire, lightning blitz and EAB came from one of our own member's - located in the USA.

All the rest have come from ebay, utilising a third-party shipping company for freight. I've still got 2 x SM3K's and possibly an ArrowStorm pending delivery. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough room for them to fit in this package, and I'm still awaiting delivery of the ArrowStorm through ebay.

There's no doubt that there's quite a bit of money involved in these purchases, but, hopefully, their value will increase in the future, which is a worthwhile investment in my opinion.

Cheers,

i should be purchasing a 3k off ebay sometime this week

No LnL I see, Clunk.

Tsk tsk, for shame

But seriously, nice haul mate.

haha - I had the option to get a LnL, but decided on a couple of other blaster's on ebay instead.

Cheers,

why are mega missile's rare or vintage?

Nice hall Clunk.

I want one of the Comic Con 2011 Limited Edition Transformer's Barricade RV-10 so bad it not funny.

They're not really, though the only one I could get my hands on was from the States.

Cheers,

I would classify rare as something you can't just go in the major Australian retail store and buy. So outside of the Alpha Trooper, Recon, Raider, Stampede, Vulcan, Reflex, Barrel Break, Spectre, Tek 3, Tek 6, Double Shot, Barrel Blaster, Tommy 20, Ultimate Missile Blast, Triple Shot, Rapid Fire Blast, etc. (you catch my drift)

For me my 'rarest' Nerf gear are the Air Tech 2000 and an Atomizer.

Will the orange maverick be available in Australia any time I would love on as a backup to my black painted one (for public wars).

Here is something depressing, I used to own a nerf supermaxx 1500 as a kid....I think my father threw it out when I was in year 10

New life mission; get that supermaxx back

Or I buy one off Ebay! Honestly though, it's definitely a novelty thing to have... like how I got two RFSGs that I don't even use or mod yet and a PAS. A collectors item XD.

These are pretty cool. I wish I coupld afford more vintage guns.
Great work Clunk.

Its from the usa and its 25 dollers? I have seen that one but i cant afford that untill late october because im useing all my allowence to buy Cod mw3

haha Acerised!!

I'd be keeping that AT3K and Red Recon NIB. I'd imagine they'd be worth some coin down the track.

Like the MaxForce blaster's I've got. I may mod the mad hornet, but the rattler and razorbeast will be left stock, and put aside as a collector's item for the future.

Cheers,

Hahah impressive clint! Secret shot, Sharpshooter... hmmm..

Haha of course of course Brand New In Box, pretty proud. My collection is worth quite a bit now.

Although i could have kept 2 brand new in box at3k and a brand new in box twin at2k pack. Now im left with 1 brand new at3k.

Too be honest i wouldnt mod the MaxForce Blasters, as collectors/buyers/etc would prefer them stock if your thinking your going to sell one day. but if they're broken go ahead.

Yeh, that's exactly what I was thinking with the MaxForce range. As difficult as it may be, I will be pursuing the entire collection...

Cheers,

Sounds great Clint, Good luck!

I would imagine we'll start seeing all the gear-up edition's in stores soon.

If not, Amazon.com will ship the Gear-up series direct to Australia.

Maverick - $12 for blaster, $8 for shipping.
Barricade - $17 for blaster, $11 for shipping.
Raider - $34 for blaster, $7 for shipping.

Realistically, the Mav is a little overpriced, the Barricade is nearly spot-on, and the Raider is a steal - when compared to standard editions at non-sale prices. The only issue is the 3 - 4 week wait for International shipping.

Hey clunk,

On the Canberra and Southern NSW Dart Tag or whatever they're called Facebook page, they posted a bit of intel that the Gear Up blasters were ordered by Kmart. They also said that Whiteout and Gear Up had to be ordered by the retailer themselves, and not distributed by Hasbro. The eta for them were October for Gear Up. There was also intel on the entire Whiteout Series, ordered by BigW for ETA in September, 2011 obviously. There is no word on whether these are Christmas stock or whether they are to be released in the near future.

Cheers,
Dylan

As i am currently out of the country, I managed to pick up a gear up maverick for around 16 aus? and one of those original strike fires + the shield for 10ish. They also had the gear up raider, barricade and clear deploys. Ill just keep checking around and see can i pick up anything rare or vintage. If I find something REAL interesting, I could ship some stuff back.

Keep us updated and if you could bring back some mega missiles that would be awesome!

Scrap that, I went for an exchange, swapped the Maverick and strikefire for a gear up recon and that cost $23.3 Aus.

Edit: My first personal recon

Where'd you get the red recon?

Bought it a while back from the states.

My mate has one of those wipeout blasters(the purple and silver one) and he thinks it's meant for under water use, is this true?

Okay, well this should really belong in the questions thread, and regardless, has nothing to do with vintage/rare/htf blaster's...

Tell your mate to think again. Maybe he's confused it with God knows what, I'm not sure, but the wipeout blaster's come with foam darts that have chalk ends. Fairly certain neither will work well underwater....

Cheers,

Thanks
