hey everyone brett here and sometimes i wear a beret and we're trying something
a little bit different today because it's a time of celebration my channels almost reach
69 000 subscribers which will be the nicest of milestones and it's officially summer well okay
it's been summer for a little bit of time but for toy companies it's officially summer because now
that august is here all the new summer releases have come and i think i was looking the other
direction when suddenly boom i look back and whoa everything is hitting the shelves now it's kind
of overwhelming to be completely honest that's kind of what i wanted to talk about today i put
up a little youtube survey on my community section and i said summer 2021 blasters have dropped and
everyone's talking about them honestly it's hard to keep up i'm behind on other blasters but do you
think any of these are worth me talking about and the clear winner of that was the dart zone
max striker and the tomahawk with the busby tetra shot and the thunder shot at the very end but of
course i left a category for other because this is not all the blaster options and people were
letting me know in the comments as well what they had preferences towards when it comes to reviewing
blasters i find that i do like to talk about a lot of blasters but my channel is very diverse
in that sometimes it's blast reviews and sometimes it's something completely different going out and
buying every single blaster is a pipe dream that will no longer make sense i'm going to
show you why in just a second this is not meant to be you know calling people out for saying hey
how dare you tell me to go out and look at that blaster do you know how much this would impact me
no no not that at all i just wanted to give you some insight if you haven't done the math just
of recent times or what it feels like for a small creator like myself who has the you know option
to make blaster reviews all the time if they so choose i will initially then shout out people like
brad from american foam dr flux and then of course some larger creators like walcom track and coop
who do reviews like this but specifically american foam and dr flux have been hitting
it out of the park with all these which makes me feel like i don't need to do any major reviews on
these blasters i would like to go into some of the numbers initially i was also going to get myself a
little bit of wine but this matches my beautiful green hawaiian shirt green sludge o'clock
cursed so i tried to put a small list together of what i think are all the new summer releases
i'm going to exclude hyper because it's been around for about two months now i think you
can regularly find hyper online in stores so we're not going to include that one i'm probably going
to miss a few others i'm not going to include uh community blasters and homemade stuff like
that on this list i'm mostly just looking for retail blasters first off elite 2.0 we've got
the flip 8 the flip 16 and the flip 32 all right admittedly the flip 32 i don't know if you can
find it yet but there's a lot of threes on this list because next up is the nerf dragon power line
the fire shot the sky blaze bow the ember strike and then we've got roadblocks okay more than three
on this one but the initial offering on amazon was three you've got the three micro shots and
then the other ones whatever i think there's a seven roblox blaster so far cool then we've got
rival the last hold out for rival the helix from the curved shots line that's available
now i think you can regularly find that one then you've got ultra the ultra select i you do know i
did pick up an ultra select so there's that that's where i decided to compromise on my finances
the ultra focus though is another recent addition that kind of came out of nowhere that's an online
exclusive i think on amazon it's an amp with a stock and a 10 round magazine that only takes well
only comes with pinpoint darts from fortnite we've got the burst ar there might be some more coming
but this i think is the one that's available right now and then guard zone you've got the matrix fire
the monolith and the conquest pro those have been around for a little bit longer and i actually do
have those already but then of course you've got the max striker and the tomahawk from busby the
thunder shot and the tetra shot of course but also the trigger fire and the equalizer pack are some
other new releases i've seen of recent times i'm not going to include these financially but
it's worth mentioning the worker swift is a new worker blaster don't know exactly how long that's
been out but i think you can get those now that would be a pretty penny if you included that here
d-dart's also got some new releases starting to show up their pro tempest i think is already out
i'm not sure about the other ones yet ryan's world blasters now we're not including that definitely
not so yeah again sorry might have missed some stuff there but just including what i said
those are what 26 blasters great how much does that cost altogether 750 bucks before tax
great now for some people you're probably like oh i just spent that much on a commission
that's great or maybe you are you know heavily invested in community blasters 3d printing like
the links or other stuff you know that's hot right now and that's like two to three of those nice
blasters again totally understandable no matter how you slice it that's a lot to commit to if
you want to get all the new blasters and i think everyone who enters this hobby space at some point
is like oh i would love to collect all the blasters possible it's become no longer a
dream for any reasonable person there are some people who have the resources and have the time
and have this as more of a full-time profession that might be able to do that but for the average
consumer it does not make sense to go out and get all of these blasters just to get them and for me
i find myself in a weird position where it's like i do want to see all these blasters i've had half
of them like in a cart online or just browse them in the store and been like yeah i could i mean
it's only 30 bucks right it's not that big a deal but then it's like we start adding up and suddenly
you've spent a couple hundred bucks and you don't know where to put them my small space here is
already close to bursting with all the blasters i have but all the new releases are always so
enticing and i know i'm not the only one with this problem especially when we get wrapped up in all
our new releases even though it would make more sense financially to wait a little bit in time
we don't want to wait hey you know what else is coming soon a lot of blasters i didn't mention
because i'm not fully aware of them more fortnite stuff mega xl from nerf that's actually something
i might want to pay attention to and save my money for boom dozer double crusher big rig dart
zone pro mark 3 that's something we might want to save some money for admittedly i might be getting
some other dart zone blasters for free because they have kindly reached out to me so i am very
thankful for that but that doesn't mean i'm going to stop spending money on other blasters that i am
myself curious about it's quite overwhelming this is not the first time where you have a huge influx
of new blasters and when everyone's only talking about the new stuff it can be hard not to get a
little bit of fomo shoot like i guess i need to go and get this blaster because i'm not gonna be like
in it if i don't have one do your own research absolutely reviews are free people make reviews
so you can watch them and get an impression first that way you don't have to spend your money i do
find it useful to watch multiple reviews so i can get different angles on different things and then
go and make that decision you don't need the newest stuff to be relevant it's fine if you
want to wait look for it in a thrift store or never get it who cares you don't have to get
all the new stuff don't let other people bully you into buying stuff just because they say it's good
you can avoid good blasters the average consumer doesn't need over 100 blasters in their collection
only the crazy people like us will do that so it's a bit of a drug be careful be careful out
there all that being said it's never been a better time to be in the hobby because there
are so many new and compelling options and they might be worth your money but spend it on what
you want to spend it on don't let other people force you to get something you don't want to get
and that's what i'm going to tell myself as well because if i only go and pursue blasters
how am i going to make wikihow videos it's been a year anyhow let me know what you think if you
do think any of these blasters are really worth my investment you want me to talk about them i'd love
to hear from you again don't force me because i may not get to it sometimes things go on sale
and then they really become compelling to buy and if i spend all my money on new blasters how
will i have money left over for nerf strike on roblox see that's a conflict of interest
that i just can't afford thank you everyone so much for watching subscribe for next time when i
complain about all the fall 2021 blaster releases being too expensive and i'll see you next time
you
