New Things at Toys R Us, and 20% Sale on BoomCo

Yup, it looks like we're finally going to get some discounts on Mattel's new line of blasters. TRU is offering 20% on the entire line this week. For some reason, TRU doesn't have these blasters marked up higher than other stores (like they usually do with Nerf blasters), so take advantage while you can!

Also of note are two items listed on the website for shipping (but aren't on any shelves yet). The first is a new Air Zone revolver, made by Prime Time Toys. The Renegade uses the new Xtreme darts (a great substitute for Elite darts, especially when the 200-pack is on sale) and claims ranges of 70 ft.

The other new item is a new entry in the Nxt Generation line of archery and hunting toys. The Gatlin Bow appears to be the next step after the Maxxforce Compound Bow, with eight darts on a turret for faster rate of fire. I would assume this uses a regular turret that rotates on the draw - Hasbro has control of the patent for "Smart AR", and Buzz Bee has a patent on file for an internal rotation mechanism for shifting the air channel (used in the Air Tek 8).
