Originally they were trying to compete in the lower end of the market. They basically took some successful blasters, budgetized them and threw in a bunch of extra darts. These latest three don't seem to fit into that at all. Nor do they relate to each other. Plus, they ditched the animal names for some reason. If someone showed me pictures of the Flyte and the Hammerstorm, I would never guess that they were from the same line. Let alone the Alpha Strike line save for the color scheme.

It's also kinda strange that the ONLY Elite blaster is the Shellstrike and that's already been released. Is Elite being phased out?

Also, I miss Doomlands. I can't believe that line ended with the Holdout of all things.
