On second read, my original reply sounded a bit mmmm, harsh. I think you're right, Hogan. Except for a minor difference in the design of the clip lock, they're essentially the same blaster, aren't they. Good eye. But in addition to that, you can also see all the elements the MKII borrowed from previous Elite blasters. You can also see where Hasbro has economized by reusing parts like the dart tooth, O-rings, plunger, catch, and springs.

I'm also guessing that most upgrades for the Retaliator are probably going to work just fine in the Recon MKII. Even the OMW Unleashed Solid Stage 2 Kit looks like it might be plug & play compatible.

Nerf on my friend. Sorry if I was blunt. It's this alcohol problem I have. Mean drunk, says Mrs. ElliotW ;-)
