Nerf Swarmfire Update

There have been a few very interesting developments in the Dart Tag line while I was away, so in the next few days I'm going to try and clear everything up- first with a timeline of the Swarmfire.

The new Dart Tag line was first rumoured with this video from Kevinericon back in November, with the unofficial name of the Dart Tag 20



Next the Dart Tag 20 popped up on eBay, with this product picture

In late November, Urban Taggers got hold of one and in early December confirmed this blaster to be called the Swarmfire

Urban Taggers once again got some exclusive information, with this image from an instruction manual, showing the Swarmfire and a mystery new dart tag blaster.

Then came the instruction manual in full!!!



And finally, a week ago, the Swarmfire official box art was released. Now all that's left is the official Nerf release. Stay tuned!!!

We're Back

Just got back from Singapore during to night- and I'm sorry to say I'm empty handed. After being promised Nerf in abundance, I only found Nerf in one store, and that only had Recons, Deploys, Barricades and Nite Finder. No Tactical Vests to be seen. Sorry to disappoint.

On the otherhand, Nerf launched into 2011 with a bang- and the official release of two of the new Dart Tag guns!!!

"Take your DART TAG game to the next level! This air-powered blaster lets you unleash a rapid-fire stream of 16 darts at your opponents to give you high-scoring performance. The integrated clip holds all 16 darts for super-fast loading and the pump-action handle lets you control the rate of fire. When your opponent is in sight, grab your QUICK 16 blaster and send your DART TAG darts flying — they’ll even whistle as they fly. Blast your way to victory!"



"Take your DART TAG game to the next level! This air-powered blaster lets you return fire fast with high-speed reloads! The integrated clip holds six darts and lets you load super-fast. When your opponent is in sight, grab your blaster and send your DART TAG darts flying — they’ll even whistle as they fly. Blast your way to victory!'

So it's official!!! The new Dart Tag blasters are among the most anticipated in Nerf history- and there coming fast.

Nerf Dart Tag Update

A new image of the unreleased Nerf Dart Tag Swarmfire...as well as another unreleased Nerf Dart Tag gun that resembles the Raider.

"Dart Tag line is going to be very different than the N-strike line. When N-Strike went for military and modular and standard clip fed, dart tag thrives on making the most different blasters. Therefore the new dart tag blasters look like clip-fed, but the clip is built-in, so no fast reload, but firing mechanism actually works like clip system."

Official info from Nerf!!! It's the first time Dart Tag has ever really interested me, as N-Strike is so awesome, but I'll keep my eye out for when the Swarmfire or the other mystery blaster hits the shelves!!
