It's because Nerf as a whole company are making strange decisions and advertising which causes everything to be stupid and confusing.

This year all we've gotten is crap and marketing BS.

Let me list all the stupid lies Nerf did this year.

Cam: A Stryfe+Rapidstrike with an insanely bad camera.

Demolisher: Your regular semi auto flywheel! BUT WITH AN EXCESSIVELY LARGE 10 DART CLIP AND A GRENADE LAUNCHER WITH A LAZY MECHANISM! OOOOH BUT GUESS WHAT WE GOT YOU A STOCK WITH A BASKET THAT CAN HOLD A MISSILE!. AND WE GAVE YOU 2 MISSILES. Though I must say it is a fun mechanism.

Slingfire: CHECK OUT THIS LEVER ACTION CLIP SYSTEM ZOMBIE STRIKE RIFLE! Nope. The lever is VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, mag release is weird and the ranges are mehhh. It is fun to play with the lever action but thats it.

Rhino Fire: LOOK ITS A GIANT ANTI AIRCRAFT ELITE VULCAN THAT CAN HOLD 2 CLIPS!!!!!!!! PLUS A TRIPOD!!!!!!!!. Nope it's insanely overpriced. A Hail Fire is MUCH cheaper and serves the same purpose of a heavy high cap weapon even better due to its much higher capacity.

Attacknid: LOOK AT THIS REMOTE CONTROL SPIDER THING THAT SHOOTS DARTS! Nope it moves slower than a turtle, it's loud as heck, darts are inaccurate, and it can fall apart EASILY. They should've made it clip fed. And oh yeah it's overpriced as well!

Thunderbow: MEET THE THUNDERBOW, A GIANT BOW THAT SHOOTS MEGA DARTS THAT WHISTLE IN THE AIR. THIS THING SHOOTS WITH PINPOINT ACCURACY AT EXTREME RANGES! Nope it's way too big and we have better alternatives. Also it's.... GUESS WHAT ITS OVERPRICED TOO!

Magnus: Actually guys the Magnus actually looks very cool and it's not overpriced. The only issues are that it's a bit slow and difficult to load and the capacity isn't that high.

XD SERIES: INTRODUCING THE XD SERIES! THE REGULAR ELITE SERIES BUT WITH EVEN BETTER RANGES! WITH A COOL WHITE WITH BLUE STRIPES COLOR SCHEME! WE ALSO PUT TOTALLY TRUE STATISTICS ON THE BACK OF THE BOX!

XD Series? More like XBasicallythesamething series. The paint job on most of them are awful and the statistics are LIES.

I'm really dissapointed this year in Nerf. Last year was AWESOME! We got so many great Elite guns (Such as the Stryfe, Triad, Strongarm, Elite Alpha Trooper and roughcut)

In 2015 we already have some hope, the Crossbolt seems to be a return to the regular blue and white color scheme. I hope they make more N-Strike blasters into Elites as well. All the CS N-Strike guns have been remade, except the Deploy. An Elite Deploy would be great!

'''The lack of attachments is probably due to Nerf advertising and overhype. Though it could be money related because one plastic box containing just one attachment and a few darts is a pretty high cost to manufacture and ship in the millions. That's why the only tactical rail acessory still in retailers is the pinpoint sight. Besides, Nerf has made very cheap guns to manufacture and ship that sold millions and made millions. The biggest example is Maverick REV-6. It came with only 6 darts but it still is very popular today and you can still find them in stores.'''
