What's with all the fish themed avatars around this place ? Am I missing something 🤔

ToysR'Us is going out of business MFH, so keep an eye out for clearance sales, both online and in stores. You might land a great deal on something like a HyperFire or a RapidStrike. Maybe.

Depending on where you live, the thrift shop might also be an option. But you gotta go frequently and resign yourself to the fact that you'll be getting somebody else's lemon. Bring some darts along and test before buying. Nevertheless, buyer beware.

But here's some food for thought. The following large-ish blasters are all on the shelf at TRU for $40 or less: RaptorStrike, Hail-Fire, Mediator, Rampage, and Tri-Strike. There are a few others, but I can't recommend them in good conscience. I personally don't like 'em, but people swear by the Retaliator too.

Of all the ones I just mentioned, I personally like the Rampage the best. It has the biggest clip, most darts, and is compatible with many N-Strike stocks. Plus it has great ergonomics and decent performance. It's also fairly easy to upgrade, when and if you ever get to that point.

Good luck,
