[@pickboy77]

Mongoose Jake loves BuzzBee for some reason beyond me. I personally haven’t been wild about any BuzzBee I’ve ever gotten. The sniper rifle in the action set, and the double fire shotgun have been fun to use with my kids I guess. I just feel like BuzzBee looks and feels cheap. For similar prices you can get far superior options made by xshot and dart zone, heck I even prefer nerf to BuzzBee…that’s saying a lot! Lol.

[@Spartan412]

@@pickboy77 Yeah, he sure does, grew up with the brand. However, thankfully he has shown that he isn't a flat-out sellout upon SLAMMING BuzzBee for giving him a great working Thundershot revolver with a catch, but then selling even worse internals with the on-shelves public release versions. (Spoiler: the retail Thundershot has NO catch, just the trigger holding back the plunger rod leading to poor performance and undoubtedly short lifespan).

I'm afraid the regular costumer will get confused with the multiple factories under the Adventure Force "brand". If a costumer gets a Aeon Pro, he'll probably be really satisfied with the purchase. But, if he ever has the unfortunate idea of picking one of this crappy ones by accident, he will probably never buy a Adventure Force blaster again. In a time that DZ is trying their best to step up their game, I feel like the indirect association with the likes of Buzz Bee might bring them down. Nerf is still the household name for any foam blaster, so DZ still as a long way to go,they don't need any crappy blasters dragging them down. Also, great video as always! Glad to see you are picking of some steam again!

[@boid9761]

@It’sFreeRealEstate Hasbro learned this the hard way with Ultra. Perhaps they should just leave Dart Zone as is and return to where they're good at just like what Hasbro did. I mean I love Dart Zone as much as the next guy, but the Pro MKIII is just absurd. I can forgive the MK2 and MK1, but for something that already exists in the modding space to be 100+, I have no words. But they've earned the right to overprice blasters so there's that

[@dragons_hook]

Buzzbee used to be good. Back when it did air pump blasters. The big blast, barbarian, maniac, air max 6/10, and blastzooka. The boss, barron, and tyrant were pretty good for the "mega sized" darts, and the tyrant had a 20 shot magazine.

[@BaddDukk]

It is too bad for Dart Zone and Zuru that their blasters sit alongside this garbage under the same name. Some kid picks this up, it's junk, and their parent will maybe never by another Adventure Force blaster.

Honestly, if this blaster was made with higher production quality I'd say this could be a legitimately great blaster. Higher capacity than a Villainator with a sorta smaller form factor, or at least a thinner one. Chains like this have potential with how they can be more space efficient than drums or mags, but they just have to be made by an actually competent company lol.
