I think Hasbro's take on all this is basically performance. And margin. They're targeting the post-Nerf, pre-AirSoft crowd. If you're a solid Elite Nerfer, the RIVAL line is probably inconsequential. I think there are a lot of folks in your shoes. Me included, to a certain degree.

But lately I've been a convert. I like the presentation and performance of RIVAL. I was impressed by the Kronos. I love the Nemesis. And the Prometheus is just totally over the top.

There's some old saying from the 1900's - "Don't knock it till you've tried it", or something like that. The point is, try a couple RIVALs before settling for a couple off-brand Breakflips. Then again, don't. Eventually you'll meet someone with a RIVAL on your battlefield. Let us know how that works out.
