A couple days ago, I saw a bunch of old Tech Targets at Target. I have 2 questions:

1. Is this happening anywhere else?

2. Should I buy one?

Sorry if there is some sudden rerelease that I didn't read about or if this is nothing new.

Old Tech Targets?

Dude...

That is definitely something that I would invest in if I were you. Many argue that they're better than First Edition Nite Finders. I don't think they're as comfortable as NF's, but that's just my opinion.

If you want a great pistol, by all means, get one. Or five.

Okay, so five would be rediculous (considering they cost a fortune because of that stupid target) but the guns themselves are certainly worth a decent amount on the forums. I just doubt that you could make a profit off of them because the price of the set with the target is so great, and I don't know anyone willing to pay that much for a spring pistol.

But for personal use, get them while you can.

Definately a great spring powered pistol. I would get a couple.

I've seen them around here, at Wal-marts and Targets.

Here are a couple places that still sell them.

JCPenney's

eToys

I can list a ton more. They are still pretty expensive for a frickin' side arm. Nonetheless, they are awesome. The JCPenney's one looks like the best deal out there. You get two for $20.

They have the old style Tech Target here at TRU for $25. This is the one that fires megas and not the scout one...

[Backyard Nerfer]

The ones at Target are$15

I know what he's talking about:

It's a repainted old school shell Tech target, but shoots micros. The colors are darker maroon and green I think. I haven't picked one up myself yet to compare the internals so I would be hesitant to say it's the same thing.

I have seen an old-style Tech Target gun at my target. It is exactly the same as my cousin's TTG, which I modded to shoot micros for him. He thinks I'm a god now. It's pretty awesome, but mine has an enormous upward drift. As in, I pegged someone in the forehead when I was aiming for his lower stomach, which is about 2 1/2- 3' of upward drift. This is not the only time it has happened; every shot has a big upward drift. Anyone else have this problem?


Also, on the subject of Target, I looked on the website, and I very nearly soiled my pants. They are selling Big Bad Bows. And also (curiously enough) a Titan independent of the Unity Power System, bizarrely dubbed the Big Bad Titan. And yellow color schemed guns, such as the NF, Maverick, and Firefly.


Oh Target, how we love thee.

[Backyard Nerfer]

Dude, they've been selling BBBs and Titans at my local Target for a couple weeks now.

[Omega]

I haven't been to my Target for a couple of weeks.

In retrospect, it's kind of stupid for me to geek out about it, but I just thought it was worth spazzing over at the time.

My first nerf guns were the tech target pistols....... ahhhh good times. Anyway I painted one a few weeks ago and totally screwed it up. Sometimes the plunger gets stuck, plus it's a sucky paint job. Oh well, it was my first paint job, and I have another so it's no big deal. Anyway, my Target had a few, but they sold out in about 2 weeks. Just to let ya know.

When I was at TRU the other day, they still had a few old style TTGs for sale, but they were on clearance and there were only like 3 of them. As for those who don't like those targets, I shot my target with a stefan out of my x-bow and it left a nice dent. Too bad it still works...
