I agree with you Reffie, N-Strike is a legacy nameplate that has been reinvented several times as part of keeping the brand dynasty relevant. Lookit, that's what many successful companies do.

But I'm not sure it's significant that Hasbro has deemphasized the N-Strike logo on recent products. Now that their biggest distributor has gone belly-up, they might be rethinking whether having sub-series is a good idea, or whether it's better to leverage the overall "Nerf" brand name. It'll be a shame if they do.

But the reality is, the series is only dead until some marketing guy at Hasbro convinces the Director of Sales that his "N-Stike GammaBlast" idea can revive the N-Strike line.
