I am the mom of two boys. Raising boys comes with many perks, and then there’s the other stuff; blowing out the knees of brand new jeans, mouth breathing, pee on the seat – stuff of that nature. To date though, there is only one thing about boy-momming that has really thrown me – the boys toys isle. I wander, I pick something up, I whisper to myself “I don’t get it?”, and put it back. I find Christmas shopping for my sons difficult!
NERF is a classic. The tried, tested and true concept of the good ol’ NERF blaster is sure to target a smile Christmas morning. I always say – if you remember your brother having one growing up – it’s probably a great toy.
But let me tell you NERF has evolved! Check out the newest addition to the NERF RIVAL collection: the NEMESIS MXVII – 10K
The NEMESIS is NERF’S biggest addition to the RIVAL collection, and here are just a few of the fancy terms used to describe it:
– high capacity
– hopper feed
– fully motorized
– precision battling
– ultimate accuracy
The NEMESIS fires over 100ft per second! This “hopper style blaster” means you aren’t always reloading. Simply fill the big chamber on the top of the blaster and blast away! It is a large toy (ages 14+) but fairly simple to operate. If your kids are fans of paintball they will especially like the NEMESIS, as it operates similar to a paint ball gun!
Now take it easy, this one only fires foam balls. And I get it, if you don’t agree with your boys battling each other, search up NERF target ideas on Pinterest!
The NEMESIS MXVII – 10K comes in red and blue and retails for $119.97 at Toys R Us. (Oh, and it also requires 6 D batteries, Santa.)
Check out our other NERF gift idea and giveaway coming soon!
Oh this would be so much fun for those with siblings MUHAHAHA!
I could see me and hubby having fun with this..lol.. I know I would have fun shooting at him lol
The mouth breathing comment made me laugh out loud. So it’s not just my family.
Yikes, that’s a lot of balls firing at over 100ft per second!!!
I got this gun for my stepson last year! I love the cross bow ones they have now!
My hubby and grandson would so love this , shooting each other and playing cops and robbers 🙂
These things are powerful!! wait till mama gets a hold of one of these lol
6 Ds?! Wow! But man, that would be fun 🙂
My grandson always puts the Nerf on his list. So much fun.
That looks like fun….as long as I do not have to pick up all those little balls.
I like cruising down the ‘boys’ aisle (I really hate how they have been separated) better than the sickly pink aisle!
The NEMESIS MXVII – 10K would be awesome too. Look at all the balls you have to shoot. Wow.
The Nerf N-strike Rhino-fire Dart Game looks rad and powerful!!
This look so fun! I remember having one when I was a kid!
I totally would ambush my family with this 😛
Wow, there’s an awful lot of fire power in these 🙂
Oh man we would have so much fun with this thing in our house… Hahahah
The NEMESIS would be so much fun when camping!
This does look like lots of fun, but I wonder who they would aim at???
My kids would have so much fun with this – not sure who would end up giving in first!
Lol my daughter would love it
Any Nerf that had the possibility of taking out a member of our family works well in our house.
I’ve got some nieces and nephews that would love playing war games with these
Never mind the kids getting this one…I think it would be hard to get hubby and I to stop playing with it 🙂
The 100 packs of the bullets would be a great gift or stocking stuffer for a little boy. 🙂 I know there will be some in my grandson stocking to keep the Nerf wars going. 🙂
The Nemesis is the newest nerf product on my son’s wish list. I am sure he would have many hours of fun with this.
This gun looks super fun!
No way – not in my house I would be picking up those balls all day long :)!
NERF is definitely a classic toy.
Ooooo this would be MINE!!!
This would be such a blast to play with!!!
I like the idea of not reloading, but this would be so many little foam balls all over!
This looks amazing! Our family would have wayyy too much fun with this! 😀
Made it to the Toy Store yesterday and this is the number 1 item on my son’s list this year. He loves his nerf guns so this would be a great addition to his arsenal.
I really like the Nerf N-strike Rhino-fire Dart Game . Hours of fun playing with Nerf!
my boys would love this, we love Nerf, thanks for the review.
the boys would love this!
Id like to have this for my cat to chase the balls
I like foam balls as opposed to paint balls 😉
That is the ULTIMATE nerf gun.
This NERF Nemesis would make a cool gift!
This would be a lot of family fun!
Wow now that is a Nerf gun, my oldest would love this as well as my nephew
nerf at a whole new level
This is on my 12 year olds wish list.
This would be a blast to have with the kids
Wow, my son would LOVE the Nemesis!
I could just see hubby and our grandson having a lot of fun with this
I think all four of us here each want one of our own!
That looks awesome! I could win so many nerf wars with it
I love Nerf products! They sure have some amazing toys out! My cousins sons would just love these! They look like so much fun! Hmm, I think even I would enjoy this too
Such awesome Nerf guns! Love the designs on them!
My boys would LOVE this. There would be many battles in my home with these guns.
This looks like tons of fun and I love that it holds so many balls but the 6 D batteries is definitely a down side.
Wow! Balls with a nerf. That’s cool! I would give this one a try for sure!
