Thank you for contacting Hasbro.

The Super Soaker CPS line you are looking for has been out of the marketplace for
some time. It would only be available through the secondary market, ie: online
auctions, consignment shops, yard sales, antique stores, etc.

You may find some helpful information in monthly publications, such as, "Hot Toys",
Lee's Action Figure News & Toy Review", Tomart's Action Figure Digest", ToyFare: The
Toy Magazine" and "White's Guide to Collecting". They provide in-depth articles
exploring specific toy franchises, as well as profiles and advance looks at
forthcoming action figures.
If you are looking for a game, you may wish to try the Association of Game and
Puzzle Collectors at http://www.agca.com.

In addition, many publications provide extensive price guides to gauge the value of
your collection or to illustrate the price range you should expect to pay for new
and classic toys and games.

You can also use a search engine such as Yahoo or Google for further research.

We wish you the best of luck with your search.
I emailed Hasbro a bit ago about the CPS line. That's the response they gave me. I don't care though, I've got big plans. :)

Everyone's worst fears have been confirmed. This really sucks bigtime. They didn't say CPS was dead though. They just said that the old CPS' are dicontinued. There could be more on the way. *doubts it* :(

I asked them about all CPS but mentioned that the 98 line was the best one. I don't know what they meant exactly, they may have meant that the 98 line is gone or all CPS is.

maybe good ol' lonnie got jealous of bruce d'andrade's invention and told them to phase out CPS...

You can pretty much ignore the times on that, I rarely ever have Xfire on when I play. I should, though.

And now of course prices are going to soar...
That was abrupt-ok, im thinking, going to build up a CPS arsonal. then, I learn the line's been discontinued? The water guns for 2004 have died-all thats coming out are basically 10 ounce squirt guns :angry: :angry: :angry:

Well,

They made some CPSs in the year 2002 (or 2003), so you can expect some more in the near future.

Besides, the CPS 4100 and 2100 weren't that bad (especially the 2100), so hopefully we can look for more CPS blasters next year.

Then again, Hasbro did not mention that in its e-mail, so I'm not sure.
