Talk:Vortex VTX

Release date?
Previous the official release for the VTX stuff was fall of 2018, but I guess that got pushed back... I've seen people mention a release date for blasters as June 1, but I'm not sure where that's coming from. The Nerf Facebook posted this two days ago too, so this is a bit muddled... anyone have a source on the actual release date?

 * From what I can tell, there have been mixed messages from Hasbro. Here is the press release article from Blaster Hub, which starts by saying that the series will "relaunch later this month" (in May) and then goes on to say that the blasters will be released in fall 2018. I would assume the first release time was correct, because they are available at Target now and have been for at least a week, but I don't know the exact day that they were released. Cerrwiden (talk) 18:32, June 3, 2018 (UTC)

 * Once again, retail stores screw up the official release date by selling them waaaaay before the intended "Fall 2018" from the press releases (although the Hasbro description saying "later this month" is new, they usually just give a quarter of release and call it a day)...
 * Generally I slap the Early Release template on cases like these and still call them unreleased until fall actually rolls around, since there's no case of any sort of official announcement saying "X products are officially released today, go buy them now". Do you have any suggestions for this conundrum? Should we wait like a week to see if Hasbro does anything in the way of an announcement? Last year they after-the-fact announced most of the new stuff for a July release... Jet  ( Talk  *  Contributions ) -


 * Yeah, using the template seems like the best option. I really doubt Hasbro will announce something in the next week or so, but in that case, we can always change it back. I'll do it now. Cerrwiden (talk) 01:25, June 5, 2018 (UTC)

Should not only be a Target exclusive series
You know what happened to the Phantom Corps series? It was a Target exclusive series, but it's no longer a Target exclusive, due to the popularity of the series' blasters. If Vortex VTX does well as well, it should also be available at other toy stores.
