The toys you guys picked to show... most have already been seen. Cool Dino though.
I thought it was surprising that this little gem didn't make it into the featured items list: http://www.cooltoyreview.com/TF2008/Hasbro/misc/image4.asp
You can find out what is known about this incredibly versatile gear by checking posts at www.lazer-tactical-action-game.com - I am not a stock owner in Hasbro or anything, it's just that I and a bunch of my friends scattered throughout the country love to run lazer tag games, and I think this gear needs a booster to its marketing if we ever want to see the truly epic battles and tournaments we dream of taking place. Do me (and yourselves) a favor and try it out when it hits shelves (or you can snag a preview set) - I think you'll be surprised at the incredible amount of work that has gone into both this and the LTTO line from a few years ago when compared to other laser combat offerings on the shelves.
