Agreed. Your earlier Mav example was spot on, Spudly. There were Mavs and StrongArms on the shelf for most of a year before the Mav finally went exclusively online, then faded away. I'll bet you see a similar pattern with the StrongArm. They'll be on shelves for part of 2017, then the remaining StrongArms will be sold online, then poof, second hand on eBay. It's just the way of 21st century big box marketing. Well, until there aren't any brick & mortars anymore, right.

Now let me backpedal for just a moment gentlemen, if you please. I'd still buy a StrongArm if it was under $7 with free shipping. There were several at that price right before X-max. But as long as the Disruptor is $12.99, there's no reason to pay premium prices for a StrongArm. Agreed, the Disruptor is a "better StrongArm". But if I could get a brand new SA for 5 bucks with free shipping ? Yeah, no brainer, I'd get two.

Until then, I'm a Disruptor convert.
