Partial Hasbro Update!

Seems Hasbro.com has added to their listings.
So far, they've added the Secret Strike, and revealed a new color scheme for the Liquidator.

From what I'm seeing, the secret strike is just the Max Infusion Overload minus the aquapack. In other words, crap. The backpack was the only thing that made that blaster even worth looking at, and they got rid of it. What stupid ideas will Hasbro think of next?
Do not underestimate the power of stupidity in large groups

The backpack still connects, and the pricing seems like it'll probably be about the same. In 2006, you could not get the backpack without getting the overload. Basically, the only differences between the secret strike and overload so far seems to be only the reservoir size and nozzles.Monsoon wrote:From what I'm seeing, the secret strike is just the Max Infusion Overload minus the aquapack.

At the very least, ever since the good soakers were out, the quality of the more recent ones has been slowly moving up. If not, they at least introduced something else somewhat useful, such as the Max-I interchangable backpacks (though I definately agree that the capacity they add might as well be part of the gun) or the quick fill cap.

Maybe you're right, as the Soaker Tag and EES series were by far the worst. But last year was all gimmicks, and it was just luck that a Flash Flood with a drilled nozzle was halfway-good.C-A_99 wrote:At the very least, ever since the good soakers were out, the quality of the more recent ones has been slowly moving up.

Now they've taken last year's soakers, made them boxier and put the grip along the entire back, except for the Oozinator and HydroBlitz.
