If you have questions on anything ranging from when will the new Halo blasters from Nerf/Hasbro hit shelves to what to expect out of the new clown blaster theme from Far Out Toys, this is the place to look!





NOT SOLD OUT? - Dart Zone Pro MK 1.1

First concerns first: As we broke to you last night on Instagram, top leadership at Prime Toys assures us that the Dart Zone Pro Mk1.1 IS NOT sold out at the time of this writing.

I would also recommend clicking the notification button on the target.com listing to get alert when their system get it listed as in stock.

Several users across different platforms have reported back that they got a "canned" or generic e-mail back that confirmed they were in line for a coupon for the darts, but the e-mail also confirms that the blasters are not sold out and that target.com is working on things. I'm hoping to see a video from Prime Time Toys they mentioned to confirm what we learned on the show floor today.
