So, Elliott, do you think the Gear Up Rapidstrike has enough potential for us to mod? Oh, absolutely. I'll bet all the original mod kits and springs work just fine in those too. Like Flat said, the internals are probably identical. I'm really diggin' the look of these new AccuStrike blasters like the AS-AlphaTrooper and the StratoHawk, the TalonStrike, and the Strife-CQ (if that's what they wind up being called). Looks like there's some new blood in the Art Department at Hasbro.

I'll admit, I was quite gloomy about the prospects for any really good new blasters in 2018. But now I'm quite excited. Not only are we going to see the Infinus and the Promethius this year, we're getting some outstanding re-releases with improved color schemes. I better start saving my pennies and dimes 😁
