Hey, I realize everyone's definition of what constitutes a "good blaster" varies, but the RayvenFire and the SurgeFire came out in late 2017, and they're both pretty decent IMHO.

'''Edit: I realize in retrospect you were talking about "good Alien Menace" blasters. My bad. You are correct'''

As to the Alien Menace situation, it's looking kinda bleak SuperM. For the uninformed, it's a Toys "R" Us exclusive. I know they're still being sold because I saw a boatload of them at my local TRU last night - 40% off. But TRU of Canada is still going to be around, for a while at least. I imagine if they still have inventory, they'll be on the cold frosty shelves up there in the Great White North.

Hasbro hasn't said anything officially, one way or the other, but they did remove the link from their brands page. So that's a clue. Some reddiots think the brand will get picked up by another major retailer. Hmmm, doubt it. They only released one AM blaster in all of 2017. The series isn't exactly "on fire" at the moment.

So the long answer to your short question is, we really don't know. But it looks like this is probably the end of the line.
