Well, the Piranha I ordered from Amazon has now arrived at my Shop The States address. The Blazer arrived before that a few days ago. I sent off the order form for a shipping quotes on them to the UK and I should get the shipping options back to me soon. They are pretty quick at responding.
Anyway, I can't wait to receive them, after all this time of wanting them soon I will finally have them.
I'll push up some more stats when they come, and I'll soon see whether the Piranha I'm getting is the 2005 or 2006 one, you never know really.
Now that I will be getting them soon I'm expecting them to be good, and from the reviews they sound up to my standard, and I'd probably say from what I've read the Blazer is probably the best gun of their range at the moment, unless the Scorpion can prove that wrong, which I will be getting in a trade soon when they come out.
If you ask me, since I have made the decision of not buying any more newer Super Soakers from Hasbro (unless they change), if the Water Warriors guns I'm getting are good, then expect me to be buying more Blazer's and Piranha's from Amazon this year! :p
Anyway, that's all for now, I'll post more when they arrive, depending on the shipping method I choose.

You're getting a great gun in the Pirahna. It's one of the few near-perfect soakers I've handled. Congrats on your great buying experience.

Thanks.
Well, the orders have been shipped from Shop The States today and they will be on their way here to the UK soon. This came at a price though, which I think is where Shop The States make their profit partly. The Airmail shipping option I chose cost me $63.65, a lot I know, but what other way can I get these guns, eh? No other easy way really, although I have to take my hat off to Shop The States, with their fast and friendly service I thank them for making all this happen, and I also thank the person on these forums who found this Shop The States place out.
My guns from when they were just shipped just over an hour ago should be arriving at my door between 4-12 days, and it looks like they are going to come in the Easter Holidays when I'm off school! Hooray!
Looks like that's it for now, I'm just going to have to wait, although that's going to be hard!

I ordered a Blazer from Amazon yesterday evening. It should arive in 3-5 days. Looking forward to it. Shipping was like $7.50; not too bad.

I was really luck and found a stockpile of 2006 Blazers at an obscure KB Toy Works about an hour from where I live. It was only $25.00 and i couldn's resist! :crazy:
It's worked pretty well so far. I'm using it as a standard issue-class for my team (in the same category as a CPS 2100 and CPS 1200). It doesn't have the seaspray shock value of a 2100 but the moderate-large stream is very refined-feeling. The only problem I really have is that the gigantic reserve tank is a tad misleading and it seems like it runs out of water much quicker than you expect. All in all, it's not bad though! ^_^

How much range does yours get? I had heard they get 40 feet (and iSoaker says they do) and wondered if your did. Also, did you see any other WW guns at the store?
And yeah, it probably should have a bit more water in the tank. But the large selection of nozzles should be an advantage.

Well, my Blazer just arrived.
Yes! I paid for 3-5 day shipping and it arrived in ONE DAY!
I hope to post a review tomorrow. This Blazer is VERY blue.

Yes! My Blazer and Piranha came today, I just found out now I got home from school!
I'm happy to say that my Piranha is the 2005 version, although I'm going to opt to keep it boxed, I'm just going to take some NIB pictures.
As for the Blazer, WOW! I can't wait to open this thing once I have taken pictures of it NIB! Beast!
I'll report more later!

There is a store that is about 15 - 30 minutes away and they are selling Water Warriors Wasp, Blazer, Lightning , Crickets , Argons , Splat Blaster's, and Yellow Jackets. Did not even buy one though. I also saw an XL water blaster from Six Flags that has 3 interchangable water tanks and the blaster reminded me of those Kwik grip blasters. I also saw another Six Flag gun it's name was the Six Flags Turbo twist.
