There's no doubt that Nerf brand MEGA AccuStrike darts are pretty good. In fact this is one of those rare instances where genuine Hasbro darts are actually superior to most of the knockoff and clone darts. Personally, I like everything about them. Everything except the price.

I just stumbled across Walmart's Nerf MEGA AccuStrike Refill Pack for the low, low price of 26 bucks. That's just $2.60 per dart 🙄

What truly surprises me is Hasbro's inability unwillingness reluctance to sell decent darts at a fair price. They'll sell you 100 crappy Elite darts for 15 bucks, or 75 decent (but pricey) AccuStrikes for 13 bucks, but then go completely off the rails with their MEGA AccuStrikes. The whole thing screams "poorly managed cash grab".

Meanwhile, two hundred Adventure Force darts are going for ten bucks these days. And these aren't crappy knockoffs. These are arguably the best full length Nerf darts ever made. Like EVER !

So my question is, what the *bleep* is Hasbro waiting for ? Are they completely oblivious and stupid ? Dump Elites. They're total crap. Just get rid of 'em. Then make AccuStrikes in colors other than peach-ish and price them reasonably at 10¢ apiece. Like a hundred for ten bucks, amiright ? And do the same with MEGA AccuStrikes. Ditch the crappy MEGA Darts, and offer MEGA AccuStrikes for 15¢ each. With the Nerf name and reputation for quality, they'd totally dominate the market.

But no. Instead, Hasbro's total January sales will consist of one $26 pack of MEGA AccuStrikes to Steve in Seattle, and an Ultra Dart Refill Pack to Donny's parents in Des Moines. Some people are complete idiots, and in this case we can't totally blame Steve 😉
