On the one hand, I also am reluctant to spend that much on a new Nerf blaster. On the other hand, I have spent $15-$30 USD on mod kits and parts, plus $9 CAD per single IMR battery, plus $30 CAD per blaster for shop service to bring several electric oldies back from the dead. So I probably have spent that much on individual blasters; however, this resulted in dead units becoming usable again and in poor performance becoming very good.

Basically, I'm rationalizing that IF the Hyper-Fire is really a stupendous blaster out of the box, I'll be happy in the end.
