The Raider was replaced by the Rampage. Except for the awesome CS-35 drum, the Rampage is a superior blaster in every way. There's no need to rerelease a blaster that's already been rereleased.

From my perspective, the ICON series is reintroducing blasters that never had a modern N-Strike/Elite equivalent. The "Icons" were all awesome blasters in their day that simply can't compete anymore on the modern Nerf battlefield, so they're being rereleased with modern-day internals and performance levels.

I already bought the ICON Stampede and the ICON MagStrike, and I love them. They look like their distant cousins, but they perform like N-Strike Elite blasters. They're awesome.

But as far as the Raider is concerned, there's already an N-Strike Elite version. It's called the Rampage, and in many places it's on the shelf. Go grab one.

I hope in time you'll come to grips with your regrets. But as they say, LiPos ain't for everyone. Tru dat, but you know what REALLY sucks about buying blasters in Singapore? They are freaking expensive! A rampage in SG could cost DOUBLE the same thing in the US! I saw an Accutrooper in a toy store for guess what?

100 DOLLARS aka ~70 USD A rampage SONIC ICE edition also costs about the same as well! But there is a rampage rerelease with a Retaliator Stock and 12 dart mag, I wonder if its worth it.
