I stopped buying new Nerf stuff years ago. When I first started I think I got a Stryfe for $25 CAD, which was not bad back then. Then with the Canadian dollar going down and the price of blasters going up, it was just too expensive to buy new. $300 for a Prometheus is just not worth it nowadays. The thing is that several years ago when the USD and CAD were about even, things weren't so bad, but when the CAD went down, a lot of things skyrocketed in price, and now you need more money to buy things but you still make the same amount as before. The Icon Stampede is $100 CAD, and if you wouldn't spend $70 on one, I wouldn't spend $100.

Thankfully, thrifting is a thing.
