Small but mighty, as we say 😉

Although there’s a possibility that Elite 2.0 darts are internally different, it is highly likely they are simply recolored Elite darts, just like Zombie Strike, Doomlands, and BattleCamo darts.

Obstensibly, there’s not much Hasbro can do to the internals of an Elite dart. And certainly nothing as significant as the changes they made between Streamlines and Elite darts. They can’t shorten the dart head nub, they can’t reduce the inside or outside diameter of the foam, and they can’t make the dart heads solid without violating toy safety standards.

From a financial standpoint, it doesn’t make sense to tool up to make a new dart type that looks EXACTLY the same as its predecessor. They have all the equipment in place to make standard Elite darts in any color they want, with no additional investment on their part.

I guess all I’m saying is don’t get your hopes up.
