This technically IS NOT overpriced, but it is sort of confusing.

The N-Strike Alpha Trooper retalied for an average of 20 USD.

The N-Strike Elite Alpha Trooper retails for 20 USD.

Both are available at Target.

The N-Strike AT includes 18 streamlines, an 18 dart drum,box,instructions and blaster.

The EAT includes 12 elites, 12 dart clip, box,instructions and blaster.

It's NOT overpriced but it's interesting. The EAT performs incredibly so there's a sort of balance. But you still get 6 more darts and a higher capacity storage with the AT.

Maybe it evens out because elite darts in my opinion are more high in value performancewise.

This is overpriced if you think about it because Nerf/Hasbro for some reason haven't supplied them GLOBALLY  so now the value for them has skyrocketed:

The Elite Pinpoint sight is overpriced, no doubt. According to this wikia the Elite & N-Strike pinpoint sights retail for 29.90 Singapore dollars which is 23.91 USD. And in stores they were 8 USD.

There is no known reason why Nerf/Hasbro has not stocked Pinpoint sights elsewhere so they won't be so highly priced. The best sight in Nerf is valuable but does not need to be this price and lowly available for these prices.

This is not unfairly overpriced but you could get better for the same price:

The Double Strike in my opinion is slightly overpriced. It's $10 for a hammer mechanism, 2 darts and garbadge ranges.

For example, The Triad EX-3 comes with an uncomfortable blaster, good ranges, 3 elite darts (same value as zombie strike darts), and you can hold 3 darts. It is 7-8 USD and you get more.

The Firestrike is 10 USD, comes with 3 elite darts and performs amazing. Though it is a pain to reload after every single shot.

I was going to include the Centurion but mehhh no one cares about it.
