HUMANS VS ZOMBIES – NERF BLASTERS, FOAM, OTHER BLASTERS OH MY!

Just a quick shot from the Humans Vs. Zombies game at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, thanks to Random Fun Events , where folks from the Chicagoland Dart Society and Wisconsin Parkour also made grand appearances as fantastic mods and kickin’ Original Zombies, respectively.  It was the first time I’ve played HvZ proper, and it was definitely a good time meeting everyone, flinging some foam, and seeing some wicked stunts.  I’ll have a more proper writeup soon, once I’m done going through the grand ol’ POV footage 🙂

Not at NYCC? Bring some of it home, N-Strike Barricade Bumblebee style!

Fresh from the inbox –

“HasbroToyShop.com wanted to give the Foam From Above fan community a heads-up on a limited opportunity to obtain the Nerf N-Strike Barricade RV-10 Special Edition Transformers Bumblebee blaster, which appeared at New York Comic Con earlier this month. Hasbro will be posting this item to www.HasbroToyShop.com for sale on the morning of October 19th, after 10am EST and we wanted to provide you with as much notice as possible!  Please keep in mind, remaining inventory is limited since the item was a hot commodity at the convention, but we’re glad we are able to make these remaining blasters available online.”





So to sum up:  Go to the hasbro toy shop starting tomorrow, and keep an eye out on the Nerf Facebook
page to see when the news goes live there, and you too can own your own Nerf N-Strike Bumblebee Edition barricade! Pair it up if you own the Optimus Prime Barricade, or mix and match if you own either the original, Sonic, or Gear Up editions!  Great collectors, intended for kids, loved by completionists.  Transform, and Roll Out!

Nerf alive with the Chicagoland Dart Tag Society!

Thanks to Nerf, I had a clear Deploy and a Longstrike to give away to some folks, and the CLDTS had some shirts from the Nerf Nation giveaway to… well… give away!  As usual we had games of CTF, Zombies, freeze tag, elimination, and the like.  Good times, good weather, good nerf!

If you’re in the Chicagoland Area, make sure to check them out:  they play about every two weeks, give or take successive events also held in Wisconsin.  Make sure to check posts at: http://cldts.blogspot.com!
