Well the largest purchase (at the same time) I've made that is related to nerf is these babies:







I find that if I see something cheap, I'll buy it even if I don't need it.

[xNFx 37]

Where'd you pick those 2k's up?

My largest purchase, isn't really that large. My dad's kinda strict on me buying nerf guns, yet I have 20.

Anyways, I think it would be a NF, Recon, and a BBB at the same Target.

I bought the 2k's at Kohl's.

Same here, with the strictness (Is that a word?) of my parents with buying guns, and I have roughly the same amount as you do. Usually, the case is that they get all upset that I'm buying another gun for a little bit, but then they just get over it and forget about it.

My largest purchase...I'm not sure what that would be. I haven't bought more than one gun at a time.

(Noobspeak) i one time bot sooooo many ls i got bulk priceing!!!!!!!!! ROCKORZ (Noobspeak)


But no, I did get 6 NFs, 1 LS, and a double pack of magstrikes.

[Lynx]

I think the most I've spent was on a CrossFire and a tagger pack and the 2nd most was a 2k and a sspb

I have seen 5 kids (aged 7-13 + parents) buy 4 Recons and 4 Longshots and a couple packs of streamlines. Basically, I sold about (4 x 20 = 80 + 4 x 30 = 200 + 15-ish...) 200+ dollars worth of Nerf stuff. I told them about how the clips work, how the Recon is brand new, and that the Recon is modular (after defining modular). I then saw 5 kids + parents with a massive NERF arsenal rush out the door with $200 out of their pockets...

PEOPLE: BUY ALL THE AT2K's YOU CAN! MY KOHL'S RAN OUT, AND THEY ARE NOT GETTING ANYMORE SHIPMENTS!!!!! A month ago or something I went to my local Kohl's, and they did not have any AT2K's. So I asked an employee to check in the stock room, and they said they did'nt have anymore, so I asked if they were obtaining anymore shipments, so they got out the assistant manager, and he said they were not purchasing any more shipments. SO BUY THEM WHILE YOU CAN!
EDIT: Well, my information may be false, so I will check when I get March allowance of $40.
EDIT X2: The largest nerf purchase I have ever had is when I got a $50 target giftcard, and I bought a Magstrike, Crossfire, and a BBB.

My biggest nerf purchase was when i got a bbb and a ls in the same day. It was cool though the bbb came with a free nf.

[jwasko]

Actually, I think my biggest purchases were at Kohls...getting AT2ks. I bought 2-3 (or 4?) of them once, along with a pair of Nite Finders.

What? They were, like, 40% off plus another 15% off!

Edit: Or...there was the time I got three AT3k twin packs a couple months back...I think it was buy two get one free, at KB Toys, for $25 each.

I just can't resist!

While we're comparing our manhood, I've dropped a few hundred on NERF guns before. I once bought ten Magstrikes when they were on sale at $21 a piece. The most I spent on AT2K's was when I bought ten of them (from Kohls.com when they were $8 a piece with free shipping on orders over $75). And I once bought a guy's whole collection (including eight SM1500's SCORE!) for $250. Badger may be one of the few who can top that.

[analogkid]

I...umm...bought two nightfinders once...

[PointBlank]

So roughly how much money did you spend on all?

[badger]

I actually have 3 that were pretty massive.

The first one was almost two years ago from ebay. I seller there was auctioning off about 40 guns spread over many auctions on consignment for someone. I paid about $500 of the money I got from a lawsuit settlement to get most of them. Many of them were collector's pieces like the Bungee Blast. I paid much lower than value on many of them because they were mislabeled.

The second one was for $200 when I bought Sicklefin from Baghead. The gun that inspired me to start modding hd to be mine.

The last one was recently when I bought two of the Ertl Ball Shotgun, 2 Rapid Fire Shotguns, the NxtGen Outdoors Crossbow, and every other gun made by Ertl. That purchase was about $200 as well. I also bought 4 Trigger Fires and the Catch Fire from Target for $50 including the S&H.

Yes seoul, I can most likely top that. Good thing I have a good paying job and got both a settlement and cashed out my old government pension in the past two years.

You sued someone?!? Were you on judge judy?

[venom213]

That picture makes me want to punch a baby, really bad. Mostly because I have been hunting for Air Techs for a while, with no success. I have rarely bought more than one gun at a time. In December and January I bought a total of 9 guns. Only one of which was bought at full price, new. The most at one time is 2. One day I bought a Tek 6 and a NF. Another day I bought a LnL and a SS2. Both of the days the total price was about $3.

Semi-off topic, but since we're on the subject of large purchases I might as well post this

I was at a KB Toys the other day and saw a postcard-sized form near the Nerf items: it seems that Hasbro is willing to pay you for purchasing it's products from 2/1/08 to 3/23/08. Not all Hasbro brands are included, but Nerf and Spiderman (SMDTGs may fall under that) are.

If you recently made purchases, don't worry as long as you kept the receipts: you just have to send the filled-out form and receipts to Hasbro.

...Too bad I spent $40 on Nerf on 1/26/08, and just spent a ton on DVDs and a non-Hasbro blaster.

[mystefansdontflystraight]

I got a ERTL rapid fire shotgun, and a LS for christmas, and then went out 2 days later and bought a Single tek/4b pack.
Lots, but nothin compared to badger or seoul.

[boblordofdarkness]

ive gotten an LS and a magstrike the same day, but at different stores.

[frost vectron]

The real question is:

How many dollars worth of FBR did Forsaken Angel buy?

Or how many dollars worth of PETG did OMC buy? I would think those would be the largest nerf-related purchases to date.

In a sense, but they also made their money back (as far as we know) on these purchases, so that would negate the actual purchase. Anyone that purchased guns and supplies hasn't made any money back, unless they are reselling them. FA_24 and OMC's purchases were for the purpose of sale.

Trust me, I don't mean to discount that they have the biggest purchases as I'm still in shock that I've ever spent so much money on this hobby, but that detail needs to made clear.

If it wasn't for Maryann, I'd definitely have no life.

I recall Angel saying something about $5000 for two huge rolls. You'll have to clarify that with him though.

[sputnik]

Verbatim.

Alright, I got the stuff and man is it one overwhelming shit ton of Red FBR!

That's how much.

[StephenColbert]

Today I bought 6 airtech 2000's, 2 tech tens, and one secret strike AS-1.

[Dayko]

The most I have ever spent on Nerf in one day is when I bought my ERTL Pump Shotgun.

That's a great point. I personally haven't made any large purchases, just a few bits and pieces here and there. Your collection is amazing, by the way!
