Analysis:

Hyper prices are things we’ve seen in a few other places, nice to see them showing up at more retail stores. The mystery of the “boost refill pack” is solved, seeing as its just a simple marketing name for the smallest refill amount of 25 hyper rounds. Reminder that the HF is the Jab 40, the Pump Action is the Slam 60, and the SMG is the Hail 100. Its interesting to see Hyper listings showing up on Target data bases, with the rumors of the lines delayed launch, its still possible that the Oct 1st launch may have been moved back to Jan 2021, we just need more time to see

The ULTRA news is super fun. So, this says the SIX price is $50, which is on par with other prices I have found and cements the price at this one, ruling out the possibility of the DORADO being a rebranded SIX. The PLATINUM AMP is new, coming in at a $30 price. The AMP part is on par with kinda funky extra bits to retail listings for other blasters, like the SIX GS listing from Walmart. It would be interesting if they had a silver contrasting blaster for the line. We shall see, my guess would be another springer. I doubt the ULTRA half pallet is anything more than retail aisle stuff. The ULTRA battle mask sounds like fun, hopefully similar quality to the rival masks.

The Rival news is quite fun, being our first 2021 rival blasters. The Sideswipe XXI-1200 implies a non-motorized 12 round blaster coming in at $25, perhaps it is the official identity of the “Athena XX-1200”. The Flex XXI-100 is what I am most excited for, being another single shot blaster, this time at $15. I’m curious if it will be another Knockout style mechanism, maybe McCree, or perhaps something entirely new. Should be another fun platform for singling down and experimenting with. I have a sense these likely aren’t connected to the upcoming Rival Innovation line although the prices are fairly close to the innovation blasters, but if not, its nice to see that even if that line down introduce budget rival blasters, we still have a few more “main line’ blasters in the woks that hopefully aren’t as cheaply designed as the Finisher. I would be cautious, however. Also, good news to see recent retail listings for the blue takedown and roundhouse alongside a red charger, since I had seen little come of those same listings I had down in past leak dumps.
