I was looking around a TRU near me, when I came across these:

NF-like pistol

Posted Image
Barricade?

Posted Image
Mav-Barricade?

Posted Image
Shows the whole line on the back of the box. Didn't see the Dual Destroyer, but it looks to be a mini Power Strike 48. Address says 9-401 Magnetic Drive, Toronto, Canada M3J 3H9

These were near the Air Zone blasters and SupaSplats. Aside from the NF-like pistol, all appear to be flywheels.

Found this video on Youtube; there are two other advertisements online as well.

Following the website on the box (www.launchnattack.com) led to a 403 Forbidden page.

Thoughts?

EDIT: searched a bit farther, and came across this info page for the upcoming Fall Toy Preview:

Also in an issue of Toyworld Magazine:

Finally, TRU has them listed on its website, and as being made by Citiwell International. However, their site appears to be under construction at this time.

Update: the website is up, and it says the Dual Destroyer is not being sold in the US at this time. Figures, the cool looking one isn't here.

Also, it says TRU and Kmart are distributors.

...Strange. I saw one these at a thrift store early this summer, not-so-new in box. I passed on it because it was marked, $14.99. I haven't seen it since until this post.

Have you seen any Duel Destroyers up north? That one appears to be the one to actually check out.

Dang, these look interesting.
Not like the elites at all, but still kinda interesting
One of em looks like a barricade, the other looks like a nitefinder (in a way) and the last one just seems like a remake of one of the airzone guns.
I wonder if they have any mod potential?

The smallest one was almost $60 at the TRU near me. Anyone else see these jacked up prices?

Mine were nowhere that high. Bob speculated that they're testing price points, though.
