Nope, gotta disagree with you Brony. Hasbro is all in on this AccuStrike thing. The NIC has been  bitching complaining about Elite darts, and their various incarnations for years. Message received. AccuStrike is the future of Nerf dart blasters. And Rival appears to be the future of ball blasters.

I'm seeing it already. Many Elite N-Strike blasters are slowly disappearing. And I think Modulus is on the chopping block next. As people discover AccuStrike darts are actually better, they're going to infer that AccuStrike blasters are also better (which so far they're not). But Hasbro's putting a lot of bucks behind the idea that "AccuStrike" is totally superior to those piece-of-crap blasters we've been buying. After all, that's how marketing works.

But let's not forget it's going to be a transition. N-Strike Elite has a loyal following, including yours truly. There will be a few more N-Strike Elites, and a few more Modulus blasters. But the future is plain to see, IMHO. AccuStrike will supplant N-Strike. The same way Elite replaced N-Strike. Yellow, Blue, Orange, right  😉
