Nerf Elite Blaster Rack

the item was packaged great. and it arrived on time. it was difficult to put together at first you have to snap the peace's together with a good amount of force but with the parts being weak I was afraid of breaking them. we tried hanging it on the wall but there is really no way of hanging it. but once we got it hung up by nailing some nails throw the plastic and into the wall it sagged once my son put his nerf guns in the rack on the bottom it so flimsy that the bottom came apart and fell through. i would not recommend hanging this item on the wall but it is doing well on the floor. my son loves it and it almost fits all of his nerf guns in it but he dose have more then 20. i also would recommend this to anyone who is looking to organizes there nerf guns.

You’re gonna ask yourself if this is worth the price about 80 times but let me just save you the trouble of contemplating, it’s definitely worth it. It doesn’t hold every different kind of Nerf gun the best but it lit my kid up to stack them all in there and now I think his room looks sufficiently clean for once... no more Nerf darts all across my whole damn house, they’re neatly packed in the Blaster Rack drawer. The shelves made a nice space for all the pistols and clips. The hanging racks on the sides hold the Nerf bows and darts and the rack even accommodated up to our SAW Nerf rifle that’s about 3 ft long, which my son needs help firing :DAnywho, don’t think about it... just get it and enjoy it

I am not going to lie to you, this was irritating to have to assemble. Despite having picture instructions and snap-together parts, I found the instructions both misleading and confusing. The parts list shows individual parts of the product identifiable by letter and picture of the part. Unfortunately the parts have no corresponding letters to match and the pictures do not match the visual parts; in particular, “A” and C.” If this was not bad enough, the first instruction tells you that part A and part C are different because one has a slot that the other does not. Don’t believe them, this is a bold faced lie. Part “A” IS an exact copy of Part C. The flimsy plastic wobbled and squirmed while trying to insert the tabs of all the panels and bars. So, irritating there too. This would be okay if the poorly thought-out parts were sturdier, but then that would make too much sense, and that would make things too easy (right Hasbro?). I’m sorry, I am writing this with the feeling fresh in my mind. Anyway, I finally managed to make sense of the 5-panel drawer, the polyester/nylon net backing (equipped with tiny elastic looping at it’s 4 corners), and the Nerf tactical rail... tracks. Okay, so I do not exactly know what to call it, but there are 6 tracts of inserts that are very hard to take off once snapped into place. Too bad there was NO WARNING about that. I made the best of the placement of mine. Once installed you can slip on any tactical rail attachment part. Namely: fore-grips, optic sights (scopes), laser sights, flash lights, and bayonets. It also comes with 6 tactical rail hangers, none of which have the divot to match with the corresponding tactical rail groove, because the tracts lack that locking mechanism. This is not a problem since it uses gravity to keep the attachments facing up (or down if you want), and it would be an annoyance to have to deal with anyway and it is very much preferred that this feature was missing. There were only 5 divider panels and 7 slots to put the dividers. These orange dividers separates the longer rifle-type blasters while keeping them neatly organized at an upright vertical position. I suppose they offered only 5 dividers, assuming you will not need the full seven because you have big blasters to put in your rack (whatever, Hasbro). The shelves on the right side allow some creativity to occupy the three levels of spaces. The lower-most space fits the drawer. In the drawer you can fit ammo drum(s), ammo belts, ammo, etc. I was able to fit 2 Nerf magazines side by side, provided it is not the 12-Rival Round magazines, which can only fit diagonally from corner to corner. The 18-dart magazines have trouble fitting on the bottom of the drawer, seemingly due to the bump that they have on the back of them. I was able to fit the 18-dart mags side by side at the very top of the drawer though, for whatever reason, perhaps because of the way the side panels were reinforced with plastic, but the trade-off was that the drawer was hard to open since the magazines were blocking the drawer’s finger-hole opening handle. If this sounds trivial or nit-picky at this point, it’s because it is. But in my defense, this is very expensive for pieces of floppy plastic, and while it is true that you can probably create your own, I still think Hasbro could have simply designed it with a built-in external handle and it would have saved us the trouble. In the end, my workshop seems less messy, more organized (see pics) and I noticed that there is more room to move. Perhaps this was a much better investment now that I have everything assembled? In conclusion, this Nerf Elite Blaster Rack was a pain to put together, and does not hold a ton of blasters, but it does enough to show off your trophy Nerf blaster arsenal in your room without needing to mount them on your wall. It can hold darts, rival rounds, and magazines in a drawer, and provide shelves to stack other items in (maybe light ones). It has a bar to hang things on if need be, tactical rail tracts, and hooks to hang attachment things on the sides. It lacks the sturdiness of a wooden or metal rack, but since it is carrying plastic toys, I think it does an okay job of it. Hasbro has long neglected selling organizational items to help their returning customers organize their Nerf products, and it is very refreshing to see this area finally addressed by Hasbro. I would still like to see better thought-out instructions and design upgrades in the future, but I must say that for the first attempt at a product like this (not including the Perpetual Play Group’s Nerf Elite Footlocker), the Nerf team assigned to this product did a fairly good job. I am feeling much more generous now, so I think I will be generous with a star rating of 4. Hopefully the Nerf design team also thinks about a blaster holding rack that can utilize different attachment points to secure their Nerf products (like tactical rail, shoulder-stock, and front barrel attachment points).

I’ve put together more garbage from Wayfarer, Amazon, Walmart and every other place your wife can spend until her heart content.I dread Christmas morning because of the incessant garbage I am constantly constructing.This particular piece of absolute garbage is special. I have been to IKEA, 4 times. I have 3 kids and every Milwaukee tool they make. I have installed everything from car audio systems to intelligent AI GOS navigation systems for construction equipment. I can literally automate anything.That being said, this overpriced, undersized, poorly designed piece of garbage takes the cake for bad decisions.I loath it. If you are the type of person who enjoys a challenge, buy it. If you love disappointment and things that take you to the brink of insanity, try to assemble it.Underwhelming. One of the most difficult things I’ve ever assembled.Not worth the argument you will have with your wife over why she spent money on it. I’d been better served to give it to a marital counselor. This thing will make you want to go on vacation when you finally figure out how to make the flimsy POS snap together.Bottom line, if you have interest in this it’s because you’ve already spent hundreds on Nerf guns. Don’t buy this hit garbage. But a toy box or nice shelf or build something in your garage.You could build wooden shelves with less effort than snapping this thing together.If I didn’t have full intentions of thowing in a non-fire out of spite, I’d return it.I’ll build an efficacy of this thing and burn it, that’s how much I loathe it.
