A Little Soaker Shopping - ^
I had particular reasons for going soaker shopping today, but won't bring those up until I verify a few more things (yup, vague, I know, but if it works out, I believe you guys will be interested. :goofy)
At any rate, picked up a Water Warriors Xenon, a 4-pack o' Kwik Grips and a Stinger from Walmart as well as a Hydra Pak, 5th Dimension, and a new Piranha from Toys'R'Us.
I plan on doing a full review for the Xenon, but am still debating regarding the new Piranha (with a better set of well-differentiated nozzles compared to the original. Thanks, Big Bee!) The Kwik Grips and 5th Dimension are trigger-pump-type little water guns that deserve pics, but don't feel like opening to do a full review as most here would likely just pass them by and I mainly got for personal collection purposes.

Examine or get? Don't tell me I've gotten a Super Soaker product before you!ChrisReid wrote:I went out to examine Mount Tiki-Soki. They had a whole mountain of them at TRU.
Mt. Tiki Soki's are funny things. Sure, they're meant for kids who like running through sprinklers, but the fact the thing using a pressure-based trigger on a CPS-bladder makes things more interesting to me from a technical point (though the mechanism is probably pretty simple, it may be an interesting thing to toy with a bit).

Actually, at the TRU I went to, they still have CPS4100s on sale. Perhaps not as 'yore' as some of the more potent products before, but still a bigger beast than what is available if only choosing from the new releases this year.
On the bright side, new CPS-based soakers are back on the market. I just hope things continue to improve after the CPS-drought in the past couple of years.

How much were the CPS 4100s, out of interest?

Last time I saw 4100's in my area was at TRU during post holiday sales. Strangely enough, they were still listed at $20. Certainly other stores would still have some, as Isoaker indicated. BTW, this was the same time I picked up all the leftover 2100 and 2700's as well.

I don't recall the exact price, but I'd guestimate they were selling for ~$29.99 Cdn. The 2005 Piranhas sold for $14.99!

That is very interesting. A few days go, I went to a Toys R Us ( living in Ohio, it only had some of the new blasters) and Wal-Mart (with only stinky blasters, not Stink Blasters, but not very good blasters). The list of what they had was as follows: Wal Mart had Liquidator, Vaporizer, WW Gremlin, Arctic Shock. Toys R Us had Flash Flood, Arctic Shock, Piranha, WW Gremlin, The 3 Shield Blasters (as I call them ) and one more that I forget it's name. I'd sure like to visit Canada, if that's what they sell.

Today I went with my buddy to buy a water gun because he didnt have one. So I brought money just in case.
We went to zellers (canada) and they had:
Max D 3000 ($15)
Flash Floods ($30)
Arctic Shocks ($22)
APD ($40)
A bunch of six flags guns ($5 - $25)
Liquidator ($15)
Vaporizer ($7)
Shield Blaster ($25)
Water Warriors Xenon ($22)
And a lot more.
He picked up a vaporizer and I picked up a liquidator and we fought today... it was definitely worth it :p

People come dressed in all clothes to my games... but when they are done the come out wearing a towel with their clothes soaked.
The motto of the story... If your not on on my team and your staring at the nozzle on my gun.... your probably already soaked.
