I agree that Nerf's technology is more advanced in some respects. But when you get down to it, if Buzz Bee provides what it does (in its most recent lineup, anyway), i.e. engaging gameplay and similar performance for significantly cheaper, then lower tech, loud colors and gaudy shapes may not matter to many consumers.

Furthermore, IMHO Nerf could be doing still more to improve specs, ergonomics, reliability and value. Witness the Rhino-Fire and Cam. Ugh! And even the Centurion, which I truly feel is an overpriced underperformer; knowing what I do about this model now, I am glad to have twice made its acquaintance at half price or less.
