Now this is a slightly better argument! Honestly, it's a bit too early to say and I haven't even tested a RIVAL weapon yet, but it's safe to say that regular Elite (and Elite-level) weaponry will be around for a very long time. I see no issue with the two existing on the shelves together. N-Strike and Dart Tag did it well enough in the Modern Age, as did ball and arrow weapons in the Original ages. Incidentally, the last time I was at Target (yesterday) the only RIVAL things I could see were two ball refill packs - in other words, the Zeus/Apollo seem to be selling well. That's not too bad a sign of things to come, is it?
