I'll concede, the new Stampede is the RapidStrike, or maybe the Elite HyperFire. Better, stronger, faster. Or all of the above. Amiright ?

But lookit  Spud, I've been reduced to buying aftermarket Titan missiles made in Wisconsin from pool noodles. They're well made, but both my Titans have pinhole leaks, so they can't be reliably depended on.

We need, umm no, we demand a mega missile flinging Elite class shoulder fired blaster. Literally, Hasbro let Buzz Bee steal the banner for the flagship missile blaster right from under their noses. Gaze in my crystal ball for a moment ...

Hasbro exec: What the heck is an XBZ ??? Yes Man: Oh, some sort of cheap blaster that fires missiles. Not Nerf missiles, crappy yellow missiles. Hasbro exec : Are they any good ? Yes Man : Couldn't be, they're yellow. Hasbro exec : Okay then, make a hundred thousand orange Nerf Missiles. Kids are gonna love 'em !

T'was apathy that brought down the giant. Anybody remember Global Crossings, NeXT, Atari, DeLorian, AOL, Snap ? Wait, my bad, that last one is trading at $13.67 despite the fact they've never made a profit. We're speculating that they'll turn a profit in 2028. You just need a forward thinking profit model. Like hey, my great-grandchildren should make a fortune on this. Maybe. Booyah !
