Super Soaker Central forums

Today in a local grocery store they were selling some old stock.

I found they have 5 Max D5000 and 6 Max D3000 soakers left for sale.

The Max D5000 for about 15$ and the Max D3000 for 11$.

Should i buy one or is it not worth the money?

The Max-D 5000 is a pretty good blaster considering its pressurized reservoir and for its size. I have two, and one is modded and I always use it because its light and easy to use. $15 sounds about the same I paid for mine. Sounds like a good price

$11 is too much for a 3000, if you want one, I'd suggest finding twin packs that sell at Target (at least in my area they do) for $10. For the 5000, it's probably a good idea to get it as said.

i wouldn't, simply cuz you can get them cheaper. I'm willing to sell you my three very good condition mxds at 8.00 ea plus shipping. Even if you don't buy them from me, $15 is a waste. Look elsewhere, my friend, look elsewhere.

Uhhh, since the Max-D 5000 is a reissue and discontinued soaker, its probably not worth it to look somewhere else, especially since its a pressurized reservoir. If he wanted a better blaster, he'd look at the Arctic Blast or something else.

This is just me, but i do think that it would be worth it to look elsewhere. I suppose i should've posted this with my first post, but here: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index...entPage=search

i don't mean to be... ah, that's the word: contradictory, i suppose i should defer to you as you're obviously a more respected member of the community than i am, i've only got.. maybe 20 posts or so, i'm not sure. I'm just putting in my 2¢, so no offense intended if i seem agressive.

I believe Target has MD5K dual packs for $15 or $20 - quite a good deal, if you want a light water gun with great range. Go for it, I'd say.

I also think the MD5K has a slightly stronger trigger spring...at least in my experience, the trigger system is a bit more reliable than that of the MD3K.
