Official launch of new Nerf UK site kicks off with nationwide Rapidstrike CS-18 tour!

Nerf in the UK gets ready to ramp up the fun with nationwide tour!
This is a press release I was sent last night, and it's going to be fun for Nerf fans in the UK! Check the video below:

As I found out at the London Toy Fair 2013, the plans for each territory to create it's own relevant presence for it's fans. Right now, it's all about the US based Nerf site to produce videos and content for fans who may not even understand or find appealing. The initiative should be rolling out with more territory specific sites this year. This tour should be happening in the States too.
 
So! What is Nerf: The Vault all about? The Nerf Vault is an interactive shooting gallery in a mysterious branded shipping crate, that will be touring festivals and city centres across the summer, allowing fans to get hands on with the latest blasters from the N-Strike Elite range, as well as step inside the unit for a first look and feel of a top secret new Nerf blaster.
 
The bespoke build incorporates sound, light and music for the ultimate Nerf experience – and visitors will be the first consumers in the UK to try the new blaster before it hits stores.  The tour coincides with the launch of a new UK Nerf website – www.nerfelite.co.uk.


This sounds pretty awesome, and I'm excited by The Vault - it's a perfect chance for fans to get their hands on blasters, and give exposure to new fans about the hobby :) The locations and times at each venue are below:

    6. They've announced the Rapidstrike, the Centurion and the Rebelle and Zombiestrike lines... so what's in the crate? I assumed it was a Rapidstrike, but it says the blaster in the crate is top secret. So unless they think it's still top secret even with it's name splashed all over the same site... there is something else here.
      So what, I ask you, nerf fans... is in the Vault?
      I'm hoping for a second new Elite blaster for this year that they have somehow kept off Baidu. But then it's probably more likely they are using top secret in a... 'figurative' sense and it's the blaster in the Vault.

      1. The blaster in the vault is the top secret September blaster that NO ONE knows about, nerf does this every year.

      2. I would agree, except that they have said blaster on the same page...
