NerfLMTD Halo Needler Dart-Firing Blaster, Light-Up Needles, 10-Dart Rotating Drum, 10 Elite Darts, Game Card with in-Game Content

The media could not be loaded. So it's a perfect collection piece fits in great even comes with its own stand and it looks awesome when lit up, I would love to have more like it for my collection. That said it's not built for performance it's slow fire rate and trigger delay are not ideal for tournaments or nerf events it dose hit a little harder than most collection pieces, think rival power but with the fire rate of a stampede. Perfect for comicon or pax. a bit heavy and takes 6 AA batteries in the bottom panel, but having a display mode 👌 👏 well done nerf . It turns off automatically after 2 hours, so if you forget no worries. Great gift idea for the halo fan in your life was worth every penny.

If there were two cornerstones of my life growing up, it was Nerf blasters and Halo. One of my longtime childhood fantasies was a Nerf Needler. Of all the crazy sci-fi weapons we wished we could have as a foam firing toys, the infamous bringer of 'pink mist' was my pick. Ultimately it never happened during that time (BOOM Co's Needler was fun, but definitely didn't nail the looks), and eventually I grew out of the hobby scene in general. Yet, when I found out Hasbro was going to make a game-accurate, functioning replica of the Needler, I was chomping at the bit to get it. I think they knocked it out of the park.The blaster itself looks fantastic. It's almost identical in appearance to the Needler from Halo: Reach through Infinite. Almost all of the fine details are visible. The blaster itself is weighty and feels very sturdy. What's nice is that all the protruding elements of the gun, like the fins on the bottom and the needles themselves are made of a flexible material so they won't break if you bump into them or drop the blaster. The lighting effects are also great looking. The LEDs are bright and the blaster has a neat feature of sequentially turning off the needles as you fire off darts, mimicking the game's behavior. You 'reload' the needles by flipping open and shut the cylinder door on the left side of the blaster.It also shoots surprisingly well, better than I'd expect for a blaster that seemingly values looks over performance. It's a fully automatic electric plunger with a 10-dart cylinder, similar to the old Dart Tag Speedswarm. This was a pleasant surprise considering most new Nerf blasters have totally ditched this type of firing mechanism for flywheels. I'm not going to bother range testing it, but it fires hard and darts fly out to ranges that I'd expect of most new 'Elite' type blasters. It isn't the most consistent or accurate though, but that's to be expected of a blaster firing Elite darts out of barrels this short. Heavier darts and I'd say you can stay on target pretty well with this thing.I do have some minor gripes though. Even though the colors are dead on, I wish they gave the gun a more metallic sheen like it has in game. It's also an ergonomic nightmare. The grip is horrid and it's a pain to reload thanks to the giant muzzle that covers most of the cylinder. That said, it's worth noting that this blaster basically eschews all practically in favor of being as accurate to the game model as realistically possible. It's not something you're going to want to play a round of HvZ with (or whatever people play these days). It's also a bit expensive, but I guess if you really want this thing then the price shouldn't be too big of an issue.Overall I'm really happy with this Needler. It's definitely a childhood dream come true and I'm glad it's as good as it is.

An unbelievably beautiful and accurate looking Needler from Halo! The way it lights up is stunning, and they even include a stand for the weapon to sit on!I'm not completely sure about which Halo game this is most based on, but after looking at images of the Needlers across the Halo games, I'd wager its based most on the Halo Infinite design.Also, I would guess that once this sells out and is no longer produced, it'll likely go up in value, so put that into consideration when thinking about getting this so you don't miss out! (Take my advice with a grain of salt, but other similar replicas do go up in price over time)

I can't stop looking at this thing, and I have a couple of notes regarding that it's more like an exhibition piece than an actual nerf gun for gunplay, cause the shooting isn't so precise and fast, reloading takes more time than the actual shooting (although it being my first nerf gun I'm not sure that's a valid point but I'll still put that in there) after all it is still a cool addition for an exhibition piece so yeah, seeing it like that is amazing, best one I could find, I mean, just look at this thing, it doesn't even look like a nerf gun at plain sight, for me that's an amazing thing Nerf could have done, cause having this thing in the desk looks obsoletely amazing.Another thing is the use of AA batteries in 2022 D: I'd love this thing to have a rechargeable battery attached, that can even be connected to power for the exhibit mode to be always on and not wasting AA batterie life, It's literally the only negative I see, but I guess that would skyrocket the gun's price so I won't be picky about that and still leave 5 stars just because of how well done it is. Amazing product, amazing gift for a gamer like myself and amazing time to arrive, it arrived like a week before! just in time for Christmas! loved it!!I'd also love to see a nerf version of Halo reach's Needle rifle (take notes Nerf ;) I'd throw my money for that thing)

Super cool as a display item and a NERF blaster! I purchased it as a Halo fan for my gaming display and it looks great, especially with the light-up only function. It’s also a surprisingly powerful blaster too. Very happy.

The media could not be loaded. As a long time Halo Fan, I’m am blown beyond expectations for this Needler. The size, the bright pink light, everything about it is awesome. Great collector for any Halo Fan or game collector

Really cool! It shoots great, the overall design is so accurate and isnt too heavy. It was the perfect gift!

Bought this for a Halloween costume for my son. We got so many compliments when out trick or treating. Looks cool. Works well. Love it!!!
