My neighbor was getting rid of their teenager’s toys and they gave me a free working Rapidstrike with 3 drum mags, a free Rival XV-700, and a free Nerf Vortex Pyragon with this big ole drum mag. They are all spotless. I had actually never seen the Pyragon before, it shoots disks of all things. It’s pretty neat.

that’s awesome! a few years ago, my neighbor was going away to college and gave me a bunch of his old dart tag blasters in great condition, including a quick-16, micro blaster, strikefire, hyperfire, and swarmfire. They’re really cool blasters and I’m very thankful for them.

Just so you know, the max stryker is currrently on sale at the exact same price as the nexus pro so it is a great time to choose either one you want without price being a factor! also have much love for the magnumx2. I started my channel with that blaster and a black friday sale on them last year is what propelled me into the hobby. Bought 10 of em for my whole family at that time and for $100 plus a couple boxes of ammo our family had a new tradition.

I would definitely recommend regularly monitoring sites like Amazon, Walmart, and Target if your on a budget. They have random deals (Target tends to change $ on Sundays). You can even add all the blasters you're interested in to your Cart or Save For Later area and check daily for $ changes. Walmart recently had the Nerf Rival Perses for $40. Amazon currently has the Dart Zone Pro-Series MK-2 for $54.99. I was able to get a Dart Zone Max Tomcat from Target for only $7.49 the other day. 🤯

@@flyingchicken40 The not so good deals may be mostly a function of Walmart and Amazon providing price updates so frequently as well as they often have free shipping or store pick up. Again, some great deals I've purchased from Blaster Barn so I'm not throwing shade. For example your NIB Rough Cut at $17, that's been available for $6 at Walmart recently and under $10 at Amazon. The Flip Fury at $15, this blaster has been below $10 at Amazon for most of the last 3 months. The Desolator at $30 is an ok deal but I've purchased it recently at Amazon for $21 with free shipping. The Peres at $60 was a solid deal until Amazon ran both the blue and red at $50. Hope this input was helpful. Thank you.

The dart zone tomahawk and the adventure force matrix fire are also very good blaster options for fairly low prices, the tomahawk offers similar ability to the villainator but with 60 rounds and as a semi automatic flywheeler. The matrix fire is only about $35 and is probably the cheapest full auto flywheeler that's actively on shelves, also holds 40 rounds in a hopper firing full length darts with good performance, it also has some 3d printable parts to convert it to magazines without any modifications at all

Speaking from experience, do not get a moddable blaster like a longshot or retaliator expecting it to be a budget option. By the time you get it to 200 fps, you've likely spent more effort and money (on aftermarket parts) than buying and assembling a kit for a community design.
