So this thing was $5 at a thrift store, which wouldn't be a very good deal for a Nite_Finder_EX-3 ...

...but that's not what this is.

It appears to be a gray-market knockoff.

There are no brand markings beyond the "SHOOT" (with the Nerf swoop around it), and that's molded in AND painted gold.

The scope is removable, but it's such a tight fit that you have to remove the two screws from it and split it open.

It was pretty clearly a straight mold-rip from the genuine original, since the battery door is held on with a screw and identifies the battery types, but this thing has absolutely no wires or light bulbs in it. Shoots decently though.

Anyone else ever see something like this? Maybe a shady dollar store was illegally importing them? Or did I find a one-off unicorn that someone brought back with them from a trip to Hong Kong?
