Spotted a 2009 Nerf Recon box sitting right next to the newer 2011 Nerf Recon box.
The pre-teen kid on the left has transformed into the beefy college dude on the right.
I guess this photo nicely encapsulates the shift in Nerf's target customer demographics! :)
Haha I got a good laugh out of this.
ReplyDeleteWould it be too much to ask if you could link to our blog on your sidebar? jsimods.blogspot.com
And keep up everything you do man, I've been coming here from the start when I got on the nerf scene.
JSI Modding,

ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
DeleteToys R Us Forum Mall. :)
Is the new and old recon the same?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
DeleteYes, both are mechanically the same, just with different box art.
KK thanks 4 answering so quick!
ReplyDeleteAwhhhh....even the box is a work of art!!!n probably a collector's item too(if ur a fan of the model that is)...
ReplyDeleteHmmm, maybe Hasbro decided to slightly improve the new ones, like smoother priming, etc
ReplyDeleteThe guns also grow so fast! Just like the child!
ReplyDeleteis it true that a recon made in 2011 is better than a recon made in 2009, in terms of range, weight, etc?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
DeleteFrom the units that i've tested, the quality and mechanics of both batches are the same.
I was wondering if you have any more aplha troopers so that i can buy one of them off of you
ReplyDeletenerf boy,
DeleteI have none and they are not available at dept stores in Singapore anymore, so i guess you'll just have to order them from overseas or online stores.
