There isn't any more info to add from the catalog, nothing important at all, just some Airjet Power ads and some Switch Shots ads. I'll upload it when I get around to doing the 2000 page. I've already contributed a lot of ads from various years, it'd be nice if others could try and find some as well. I realize that the quickstrike was release roughly in 1994, I was just pointing out an advertisement mistake.

Now I know you are not interested in the Mega Blitz argument but I do want to ask what your opinion as to why the RipChord box back displays the Triple Torch, NitroQuad and Gatlin' Storm but not the RotoTrack? Surely Hasbro must have realized the mistake since the Gatlin' Storm was dropped from Mega Blitz in early 1999. Also note that the Mega Blitz logo's background is a yellow splat and similar yellow splats are the background of the above mentioned 3 blasters? This directly conflicts with the advertisement you hold as proof.

As for the Ratchet Blast, with the exception of the Rangeshot none of the other boxes show the Ratchet Blast on the back only the lock 'n load, mono blast, expand a blast and range shot. While there isn't room to showcase all of the blasters of a series, all of the blasters to a series for vintage should at least appear once on the back of the boxs if they are promoting the series. I seriously doubt that the rangeshot would showcase the ratchet blast if it has not appeared in the others, the big bad bow even lists all the others except the Ratchet Blast. Will update if i do find a rangeshot box, both front and back


 * expand a blast: lock 'n load, rangeshot, monoblast
 * mono blast: rangeshot, expand a blast, lock 'n load
 * lock 'n load: rangeshot, expand a blast
 * big bad bow: lock 'n load, rangeshot, expand a blast, monoblast
