Hey all, has anyone else seen the commercial for this banzai color stream thing? It has these colored tubes that you load into the gun. and it can fire red, blue, green, or yellow water.

If you've seen them in stores tell me.

Saw them at Target a while ago. Wonder if those guns are even air pressured or piston, they look like they're piston powered.

Surprised that hasbro didn't come up with the gimmick first...

Un-be-lievable.

Seriously! I have never seen such utter crap from marketing people ever. Its people with ideas like this that probably have some say in Hasbro's Super Soaker R&D. PLEASE don't tell me you guys are looking at getting one. TWO WORDS: FOOD COLOURING if you want coloured water put some food colouring in the water tank. flip if your desperate put some coloured raro (cordial) in there and the water will even taste good to! Theres only one thing to say about this lamn joke. Average, (pause) Average to Poor.

The gun; 20%
Skill; 30%
Aggression; 50%

Umm.... its air pressure based. Not piston. And apparently, the stain dosent come out. Some lady posting a review on Amazon.com said so.

It doesn't look half bad actually, I might buy one, but not for the color.

Oh, btw I saw them at target, too.

I hate those. I had a fight yesterday, (one in which my cps3000 broke, may I add), where I got hit with soem red water. All I can say is, that stuff better come out of my shirt!!!

My brother bought one while we were in FL last week. It's lacking in range, but the stream is bigger than some of the stuff Hasbro has been selling...

Ugh... i'd never use the colored water simply because i'd rather people ...enjoy water fights with me, and not leave stained... that'd just lloook bad. I mean, if the stream is thicker than that which Hasbro is selling, maybe i'll look into getting one for my collection, however thinking about it, the stuff hasbro is selling is terrible anyway. I think my money would be better spent on ebay. I'll just wait til one of my friends gets one and try it out because thinking about it, that's really all i want to do, because that's all this is... a NOVELTY.

edit: fixed typos.
