Sporkboy, what Lanard kid are you talking about?

You can see the Lanard kid in theTube Rocket Thread.

EDIT: Indeed the ability to improve on someone’s design just enough to avoid being sued pales in comparison to actually being able to create something new and serviceable.

That is an interesting note about the Eagle Eye, I have a friend that had one a few years back and she admitted that it was her favorite. I got her a NF and I think it’s her new favorite. I think that stock Nite Finders might find there way into my workplace as most people would erotically massage well modded weapons.

So therefore, they didn't mind showing it to two people, but it was made very clear that we could not take pictures. Hell, I'm kinda surprised they let us talk about it.

Talio.

They don't want you to tell people :next day we find Talio dead on his floor with a dart through his eye, and Hersh is missing:

How did you guys get in there, did they invite you, or did you just walk in, and did you show them any guns that were modded, if so, what was their reaction?

[THIRST]

They had an appointment 3 weeks in advance, so everything was all set up...

Wait, whos the Lanard kid, all I see is an all to happy kid about to have a foam rocket launched up his ass.

[Jangadance]

Apparently, this boy finds great pleasure in recieving foam phalli inserted into his rear, as you can see in this Poof advertisement from the Lanard website. (Poof and Lanard are under the same distributor...)

Concerning the lanard stuff. As i stated in a different thread they bought my eagle eye off of me, and their address states that they are out of california.

I emailed the guy who bought it and told him that i really liked his product and that we were rooting for lanard. The response was just, "i am glad you like our product, we plan to make some really neat blasters in the future". I think that hints a few new guns in the future (probably a copy of my gun). I emailed the dude back, but i got no response.


About these new nerf guns, i am kinda confused over the whole thing, are they all at one dock or what. And t he DVD dealy, i dotn know i think this is waay to confusing.

And OMC and talio, do you think you guys could draw a pic of the guns in paint so we could understand it better?

Thanks

[Nerfer16]

Yeah, I cant wait to see some pic's or drawings!

[Talio]

I don't know if we can or not. We were basically told not to take pictures, so therefore for reasons of uncertainty, I'm going to say no. Sorry guys, falls no that far away.

Hey, about that Titan gun thing. What does it fire? Darts, arrows, or balls? Or are they going to do the same thing that they did with the SM5000, with attachments for each kind of ammo?

[Dan Wask]

Vortex, is completely different from hasbro chief.

[Talio]

Wrong....Hasbro owns vortex.

[Jangadance]

Also: Hasbro owns j00.

Holy wow, that's awsome!

[Vassili]

This large bazooka doesn't sound too useless, if it's a comfortable gun we could mount a smaller pump on the gun and maybe make the airtank a tad smaller. It would take some work, however.

[VoLT]

The bazooka does sound sorta useless, but I'm just judging this on the other bazookas I've used. The rocket usually shoots so slowly that your enemy can literally take a step away and dodge it. But, who knows, maybe it can fire as fast as a NiteFinder (doubt it, though)... The foot pumping thing sounds pretty screwed up though, and regardless of how good the gun actually is, people probably wouldn't use it unmodded (and that thing could be hard as hell to mod).
The Hornet sounds cool, but I don't really care for the pistol. Too many pistols lately for my liking, and I really don't have any rapid fire weapons...
What I'm really excited about is the PowerClip. I've been contemplating stealing my friend's , but now I might as well just wait since you have to pull up the clip manually on his. Lame...
Oh, and hi.

[Talio]

The more I think about the pistol, the more I realize that it does in fact have possiblities. To start with, I believe that you will see it integrated into crossbows pretty quickly. I know that Hersh and myself both got this idea almost right away. The idea is that you could attach it to the bottom like Grooves gun, and just move the gun forward to cock it. It's not a bad idea. I wouldn't use it probably, but I can see the usefulness in it. Question is of course, do you want to pay 40 bucks for it.

[Formerly Sane]

Okay, time for some belated questions to OMC or Talio:
1. Does the pistol have an entire piece of plastic ontop like a stock LnL?

2. About how big is the Blastfire-like gun? Does it look anything like the Mad Hornet, or have about the same design? It seems like nerf has been secretely rereleasing older guns (ie. Airtech series, TTG, NF)

3.

They already have plans for '05 which we weren't allowed to see yet, but the lead designer has come up with some great stuff so far, so the future outlook is very good

So did the lead designer tell you vaugely some of his plans, or show drawings of guns to come after this fall?

Yes, I'm kind of wondering about this too. Did you guys get to test out the titan gun? If so, how far did it shoot its ammo?

5. Does the lead designer just have concepts of the exteriors of the blaster, or does he/she work on the internals and functionality of them?

6. Is there an email directly to the Nerf team and not to customer service? It would be nice to give them our input, or if you don't want us to bother them (I believe you might have said that somewhere in this thread) we could tells you our concepts and every two or three weeks, email Nerf with the "good" ones.

No pictures because the toys are technically being unvieled at the toy faire in New York within a matter of months

When exactly is the toy fair?

Really sorry if any of these have already been answered previously in the topic
