What does having more edits than someone have to do with the validity of their statement? We're going by the elder rule now? Treat one without respect and ye shall be treated without respect in return, that should be the rule around here.

Back on topic, the Guardian Crossbow just isn't a very good blaster as much as I like the design. Six shots. That's just far too little for a blaster it's size in this day and age when the Stryfe can carry up to 35.

The Heartbreaker Bow is basically what everyone's been doing to bow-type blasters for a long time- singling bows for ridiculous ranges. But of course they probably have a strong air restrictor or a weak spring just to keep ranges down to 75 ft angled. Still, that's impressive, but for a blaster it's type I'm willing to bet one would still be better off buying a Big Bad Bow and singling it.

It seems that Nerf is designing Rebelle to specifically counter the blasters within it's own line rather than the N-Strike Elite blasters, which really isn't giving the power to the Rebellers. Unless they release some better version of the Rapidstrike or something I doubt Rebelle will truly compare with NSE blasters for a long time. It's sad, really. What saddens me the most is that Hasbro chose to make a line that specificly targets girls, like they are isolated from boys. They, for some reason, are making a totally new line aimed only at girls. There is evidence of this in the commercials, paint jobs, and names of the blasters. The commercials feature only girls, no boys in sight (which ties in with the n-strike and n-strike elite commercials featuring only boys), the paint jobs are mainly white and pink, which are called "girl colors", and the names... does a "Heartbreaker Bow" really sound like a name of a toy for both genders? How about "Power Pair"?

Nerf could of just put girls in their commercials, and that might of been a permanent fix. "Retaliator" doesn't sound that gender- specific. Neither does "Revonix360" They sound cool. The colors for the elite blasters are usually blue, white and orange, which aren't gender-specific. Blue is traditionally a "boy color" but I know plenty of girls who like the color blue. Putting girls in the commercials would of solved the whole problem. Instead, Hasbro took the most subtle(not) way they could: Make an underpowered, gender-specific and totally new line.

I'm not against Rebelle, or Hasbro. I like Hasbro just fine, and as a said in another thread, I don't give a f*ck about Rebelle. So, that's my 2 cents.

Back on topic, You can do whatever you want: you could get a Blazin' Bow and the Crossfire Bow, or the Heartbreaker Bow and the Guardian Crossbow, or any combination of the products. You are the one who chooses what you do.

Also, Throws-Many-Darts, I agree with you totally.
