Doesn't look too bad, no tracking (of course) but it is probably more reliable and significantly cheaper than the mindstorms creations. The deactivation remote is a nice touch too.

I seee it now. Modding it to be hand held. Nice find. Wonder how much clip/ammo it holds.

I'm thinking disks, not particularly effective as a handheld. But disks fired from a stable platform could be very effective.

My question is if it will be released in the US?

Not to rain on your parade but it’s been out for quite some time. I picked one up a few months ago and thought it would be cool if I could get it to fire darts. Sadly the firing system does is not air/plunger based and not powerful enough for balls. I may try and salvage the motion and remote if I can make one of my guns support a motor. And yes I did try it with the mb but you still need time for the rollers to rev up before firing which creates to much of a lag in shots.

Ah, that's unfortunate. I was kind of hoping wiring a solenoid into it and making a home-made scattergun. I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron, but that's a tad outta my league.
