chueto yeah me too Minnesota goodwills are so-so most of the goodwills i can bike to don't have blasters or waterguns I'm lucky if i find anything nerf related
chueto yea I my town sucks for nerf only place to but them is Canadian tire but they have bad selection and barely anything and I have maybe one thrift store I don't know but not many places to get nerf
Captain Xavier I would be so irritatingly mad, cause I'm wanting to start getting into both nerf and modding nerf guns, and project #1 would be a gun blade like walcom did(which that was the base blaster) however the one I'm wanting to make the most is THE SABRE from xenoblade chronicles because it's also a gunblade
Is it bad that i spotted a Lego Star Wars box off to the side of the goodwill bin in your car and have enough set numbers memorized that I knew that it was a 2005 Clone Turbo Tank?
I have that balck revolver thing at 6:07. It came with a sharper image dart set target thing I got for christmas. both the target and the blaster itself are absolutely dreadful. I think if you featured it on "can it take a k26" it would be one of those blasters that has such a god awful dart fit that all the air just goes AROUND the dart and doesn't even launch
q.j 500 I know right if I did that I will be grounded for a life time.( Not really a "life time" but I was grounded for something (don't remember) for 2 whole months and every day I have to write I will not (something also don't remember) 50 times every day and if I forget one a whole week will be added to the ground thing.(note I was only grounded once in my life and my parents are pretty cool and I guess what I did was horrible and I probably deserve it)
The trick is you have to go often. When I lived in a town with only one sad and tragic Goodwill (back before I had a channel) I went every day during my lunch hour and maybe once a week I would find something.
Captain Xavier sometimes I feel the same my goodwill I never find anything but I do find really good things from a local thrift shop. Check out my thrifting videos and you will see what I mean.
The few times I've been to a Goodwill, They have never had nerf blasters.Did get a broken Airsoft AK out of one though, and am in the process of making it look as... "Rebel" (Read that as "Extremely Janky") as possible and fixing. It was already broken anyway, so even if I can't fix it, it'll be an interesting prop.
The "Skittle catapult" is a toy fly launcher. My brother and I had fun with those, timing when and at what angle to launch the flies. good physics prediction practice.
Hey dude, so I found one of those hand crossbows (the orange one you found) and was working on modifying it myself for a friend. I found that a half inch PVC tube friction fit pretty well into the dart tube, after cutting out the X-shaped dart stop that it already has. I cut the PVC at the back end to give a path for the string. It fires ok, but obviously the darts will fall out if it is tipped forward. I'm curious if you are able to come up with a better build from it. Great vids btw, keep it up!
You call goodwill #4 thin pickings? My local GW literally never has a maverick. Best thing was the boomco air machine gun I forgot the name of, its so old. It was that flagship gun for boomco
I was wondering why you didn't film while inside the goodwill outlet, but then I realized that you did not want your subscribers to feel violated. Thank you for your sacrifice in protecting us, and keep being awesome
The catapult originaly had a chicken projectile. I believe it was packaged as a chicken trebuchet. I also think there was a counterpart called the cat-apult.
I continued the not getting that Vulcan thing few days ago after my mom wouldn’t let me get it. Edit: a tip always be careful when you find a mag in goodwill because I also found an 18 dart mag but it had sticky white stuff on it. You said about a small town goodwill that restocks a gun a week, I got lucky to find around 10. Usually it is like 2 random, jammed buzz bee guns.
Next time you see a Tommy Twenty, please check the flywheels. If they're concave foam, you're in business. Those flywheels outperform anything else on the market. They grip *anything*. The stock motors are also pretty impressive.
that tiny yellow gun around the 13 minute mark is called a baby launcher. it originally shot little babies about 1/2 of an inch long and I'm sure you can find one on eBay or amazon somewhere
Hey Captain, I own a lightstorm and funny enough i was gonna ask you if you know or have a pic of the ammo. I was told a modified BOOMco dart would work But its not quite perfect.
Captain Xavier The 'why' is probably jealousy, lol. Not all of us live in such close proximity to a metropolitan area; I have a 3 hour drive to a decent thrift shop, and it's over 300 miles to the closest GoodWill.
I walk out of a goodwill with 5 mavericks. My dad " Don't you already have one of those? You don't need another one." Me:" I can think of five good uses for a maverick right now." " When isn't there a use for a maverick?"
How did you not grab the Zuru X-shot vigilante, that Blaster is hilariously awesome. Double Barrel, breach loading, over under, pump blaster. Such ridiculousness must be rewarded. Also, you're a horrible Monster for leaving so much nerf stuff :3
The little yellow and red catapult originally launched little plastic chickens that look like the rubber chickens that sqeek. I have one but it broke because I dry fired it about 10 thousand times because I found the sound of it oddly satisfing.
Captain Xavier Any chance you'd take a THRIFTING commission? :P Seriously, though... I *am* super jealous of your wealth of thrift stores; I have a 3 hour drive to get to the closest thrift store that does anything more than clothes, housewares, and furniture. :(
The odd off brand black looking things are from a shooting "game" where you try to hit little floating styrofoam balls or hit a plastic target by sharper image.
So at the outlet, that orange crossbow I have one and all I did was cut out the middle cross section and use tape to build up under the clip and it shoots darts like 120 feet.
Why not keep a set of Post-It notes with large numbers so that you can put them up incrementally on the storage tote after each visit? Or a whiteboard?
This makes me want to go Hunting before the winter. I may need to get another bin for mine. Also to mod all of mine......theres a list. To save time i just mod them and prime them for future paint jobs
I have one of those blast bazookas, its red and gray though, my dog ate the rocket sadly, demolished rockets work relatively well though. I also have the one ice bionicle
Should have picked up the light storm, has a very large tank, also the the zuru bow a few shelves under the stack of rebelle bows is super easy to mod to get almost nic level performance.
The Goodwills up here in Maine are barren wastelands as far as nerf thrifting goes ☹ although I was lucky enough to find a pair of pink crushes for $1 each recently
The catapult thing is actually a little launcher. That one flung little rubber chickens. I had one that shot little pigs that was blue until the catapult launched itself off at my friend
Fun fact: this is my first episode and I went to a goodwill as soon as I watched it and I found......a rapidstrike(and the rapidstrike was super expensive for some stupid reason)and a zombiestrike brainsaw and I actually got the brainsaw because I wanted it for a chainsaw gauntlet
where do you live where there are so many good wills? i only have two near me and they never have one blaster. the only blasters and stuff i find are for the same price that target sells them for
HOW DO YOU HAVE SO MANY GOOD GUNS I HAVE LIKE 2 NERFS IN MY LOCAL THRIFT STORES EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE! I found a thunder bow and a old dart tag one but jeez my best found was a nerf mega accustrike thunder hawk.
not a monster at all. i wish we had such good finds here in portland oregon. i may go to several goodwills before finding a maverick. sometimes i get lucky and one will have three or four and unlike you i happily clean them out. ive only been nerf thrifting for maybe six months and have about 50 recycled blasters to play around with and try to mod. i dont feel as bad if i break or destroy a thrifted blaste
Not sure if you will see this as it's going on 2+ years after the upload date, but the little yellow catapult device actually flung little rubber chickens. I got one for the gag gift that a friend and I give each year for Christmas as we are both quite the Bah Humbugs around the holidays and refuse real gifts. I believe the brand of mine was ... Accoutrements Rubber Chicken Chucker. ~~edit: I read the vid info after reading this, derp.
You always talk about how outlets are bad and people fight over stuff but people were helping me get the nerf darts and I found a clear 18 stick mag a 25 round drum and 4 good nerf guns
I'm so jealous that you have such good goodwills nears you
chueto yeah me too Minnesota goodwills are so-so most of the goodwills i can bike to don't have blasters or waterguns I'm lucky if i find anything nerf related
Giga's Moonie yah I live in Minnesota to I only find 1 blaster every month
Giga's Moonie I don't even have goodwills, just one Salvation Army thrift shop and another generic thrift shop
chueto yea I my town sucks for nerf only place to but them is Canadian tire but they have bad selection and barely anything and I have maybe one thrift store I don't know but not many places to get nerf
chueto same...
Did that kid just take that gun outta your hand, from that tiny crossbow goodwill
Brak does I'm almost positive he did lol
Yup. *shrugs*
Captain Xavier I would be so irritatingly mad, cause I'm wanting to start getting into both nerf and modding nerf guns, and project #1 would be a gun blade like walcom did(which that was the base blaster) however the one I'm wanting to make the most is THE SABRE from xenoblade chronicles because it's also a gunblade
Brak does If I was in that situation,I would take the gun back and do my best Golem impersonation
Robin Dechert
He'd take right back, though.
Is it bad that i spotted a Lego Star Wars box off to the side of the goodwill bin in your car and have enough set numbers memorized that I knew that it was a 2005 Clone Turbo Tank?
+Lucas Hagg yes... :P
Lol
That's awesome
No, I wish I could do that :D
Hard doubt.
I have that balck revolver thing at 6:07. It came with a sharper image dart set target thing I got for christmas.
both the target and the blaster itself are absolutely dreadful. I think if you featured it on "can it take a k26" it would be one of those blasters that has such a god awful dart fit that all the air just goes AROUND the dart and doesn't even launch
This video makes me depressed about my local Goodwills, none of them have this much Nerf goodness
I feel you man, my Goodwills are like Hanzo mains too...
Same
Ikr all i find friking mavricks
@Pro Masian, go to Cottage Grove, MN. Or Woodbury, MN’s goodwill. Both if you want. Just a suggestion.
Yesterday I found a Magnus a disrupter, fire fly, strong arm, original Maverick rev-6, sidestrike.. in excellent condition
I'm sad because where I live we don't have goodwills;-;
:(
daven Green Check OfferUp. It's a great way to get particular blasters in your area.
i cant even find a thrifth store where i live (mexico)
**runs to computer** NEAREST THRIFT STORES
I have awsome goodwills
3:15 rude kid
q.j 500 I know right if I did that I will be grounded for a life time.( Not really a "life time" but I was grounded for something (don't remember) for 2 whole months and every day I have to write I will not (something also don't remember) 50 times every day and if I forget one a whole week will be added to the ground thing.(note I was only grounded once in my life and my parents are pretty cool and I guess what I did was horrible and I probably deserve it)
i would have smacked his hand
Kid was raised terribly
namesq05 05 yup
namesq05 05 I would at least ask
AWESOME haul! That Lego shield is super awesome! I've enjoyed all of your goodwill vids but this one the most because of the in- store footage
So many blasters. . . why can't I live by Goodwill's like this. . . Kudos on another awesome haul regardless. Always fun to see what you'll pull.
My goodwills have almost no Nerf guns. All I found was a raider and I already have a rampage :(
The trick is you have to go often. When I lived in a town with only one sad and tragic Goodwill (back before I had a channel) I went every day during my lunch hour and maybe once a week I would find something.
melissa berg Also check out OfferUp. I use it to get so many cheap blasters.
Captain Xavier sometimes I feel the same my goodwill I never find anything but I do find really good things from a local thrift shop. Check out my thrifting videos and you will see what I mean.
Captain Xavier because of you at goodwill I found a modulus a rapidstrike two thunder bows a rotofury and some others
melissa berg you lucky i don't have goodwills here
I feel old. I saw that Marauder in stores. I was ALIVE when N-Force was around
And try to film in the goodwills more I personally like it
agreed
why
6:43 that side prime thing is amazing. I have one, it fires the ray squad darts from Amazon the amazingly.
What is it called?
Ryan Smith I don’t know but it is in the sports section of my Walmart. It includes a target.
@@connorbowersox9050 alright thanks

YES THE GOOD WILL HUNTS ARE BACK
Diego Blattler m
I got so excited when I saw the Cedric the Bull shield in he thumbnail. Speaking of which, did you ever buy any Knights Kingdom I sets?
I got a few, but not nearly enough. I was in college during that era and missed several excellent castle series. Very annoyed about that!
Captain Xavier That sounds upsetting. My condolences to you, Captain.
Gotta say, I LOVE the new goodwill format.
The "Skittle catapult" is a toy fly launcher. My brother and I had fun with those, timing when and at what angle to launch the flies. good physics prediction practice.
I like how you edit out you grabbing the guns, honestly saves a lot of time
The kid at 3:16 has no chill
That kid is a bad human being
O
I used to have a catapult just like that and no joke, i would fire tiny rubber chickens.
Hey dude, so I found one of those hand crossbows (the orange one you found) and was working on modifying it myself for a friend. I found that a half inch PVC tube friction fit pretty well into the dart tube, after cutting out the X-shaped dart stop that it already has. I cut the PVC at the back end to give a path for the string. It fires ok, but obviously the darts will fall out if it is tipped forward.
I'm curious if you are able to come up with a better build from it.
Great vids btw, keep it up!
I set it up to fire Mega...seemed easier...
You call goodwill #4 thin pickings? My local GW literally never has a maverick. Best thing was the boomco air machine gun I forgot the name of, its so old. It was that flagship gun for boomco
That little black blaster from goodwill #3 is pretty good, it takes brassing quite well
That is some great finds! You guys are lucky to find some of those blasters that cheep which are very hard to find or get in my country. Great video.
I was wondering why you didn't film while inside the goodwill outlet, but then I realized that you did not want your subscribers to feel violated. Thank you for your sacrifice in protecting us, and keep being awesome
Finally the goodwill has come back
The catapult originaly had a chicken projectile. I believe it was packaged as a chicken trebuchet. I also think there was a counterpart called the cat-apult.
the tiny yellow catapult thing was a freebie in TOXIC magazines back in the day, it shot goo or fake bugs/spiders, both included with it
I continued the not getting that Vulcan thing few days ago after my mom wouldn’t let me get it.
Edit: a tip always be careful when you find a mag in goodwill because I also found an 18 dart mag but it had sticky white stuff on it. You said about a small town goodwill that restocks a gun a week, I got lucky to find around 10. Usually it is like 2 random, jammed buzz bee guns.
The Knights Kingdom Shield intrigued me most. About how big is that in scale, in case I wanna search for one to larp with?
+Scarlett Bandit small for an adult but it makes a perfect buckler
Next time you see a Tommy Twenty, please check the flywheels. If they're concave foam, you're in business. Those flywheels outperform anything else on the market. They grip *anything*. The stock motors are also pretty impressive.
That half-Vulcan took me by surprise. Got a good laugh out of me, though.
I love the vulcan
Its cool
that tiny yellow gun around the 13 minute mark is called a baby launcher. it originally shot little babies about 1/2 of an inch long and I'm sure you can find one on eBay or amazon somewhere
Hey Captain, I own a lightstorm and funny enough i was gonna ask you if you know or have a pic of the ammo. I was told a modified BOOMco dart would work But its not quite perfect.
Huh. I don't but the Curator did a video on them and he shows the ammo
Captain Xavier AWESOME!! Ill check it out. Thanks again!
I dont know why I enjoy watching these so much but if you post it though I will watch it.
Yeah, it baffles me. These videos get 10 to 20 times more views than any of my other videos...no idea why...
Captain Xavier The 'why' is probably jealousy, lol. Not all of us live in such close proximity to a metropolitan area; I have a 3 hour drive to a decent thrift shop, and it's over 300 miles to the closest GoodWill.
I walk out of a goodwill with 5 mavericks. My dad " Don't you already have one of those? You don't need another one." Me:" I can think of five good uses for a maverick right now." " When isn't there a use for a maverick?"
I tend to go with, "Need has nothing to do with it..."
How did you not grab the Zuru X-shot vigilante, that Blaster is hilariously awesome. Double Barrel, breach loading, over under, pump blaster. Such ridiculousness must be rewarded. Also, you're a horrible Monster for leaving so much nerf stuff :3
Because the little kid grabbed it. :(
That little catapult thing used to launch tiny Perry the platypus figure type things...I think it came in a comic book or something...
Omg did the kid take the gun away from him
Never clicked on a captain Xavier video so fast
I finally went into a Goodwill outlet world, I now understand, I feel dirty.
The calily pistol thing is a baby launcher I believe, out of darts did a video on one.
The little yellow and red catapult originally launched little plastic chickens that look like the rubber chickens that sqeek. I have one but it broke because I dry fired it about 10 thousand times because I found the sound of it oddly satisfing.
Xavier? Could you spare a random blaster with stock attachment? I'm new to 3D printing but if you need something tell me!
Captain the goodwill runs are ALWAYS awesome to see
Captain Xavier Any chance you'd take a THRIFTING commission? :P
Seriously, though... I *am* super jealous of your wealth of thrift stores; I have a 3 hour drive to get to the closest thrift store that does anything more than clothes, housewares, and furniture. :(

Nice
Late comment, but at 2:21 is it just me or is there a really neat looking Lightsaber hilt on the second to bottom shelf?
Hi captain,
The ammo for that catapult pistol is tiny little toy pigs. I kid you not. If you do an amazon search for pig catapult it should come up.
Please read the description before commenting...
Captain Xavier my apologies captain. I got a bit excited that I actually recognised it.
Why not keep a set of Post-It notes with large numbers so that you can put them up incrementally on the storage tote after each visit? Or a whiteboard?
+totophi because that is not as funny as losing track?
This makes me want to go Hunting before the winter. I may need to get another bin for mine. Also to mod all of mine......theres a list. To save time i just mod them and prime them for future paint jobs
what state do u live in captain? i wanna head over and steal a rayven from u... MUAHAHAHAHA
psssst My mailing address is in the description of every video...kinda gives the city away...
Sledge Striker no get your own
Ive been wanting a maverick
The long swords are hard to find in good condition. Very lucky
The gun at 13:06 is a thing they sold at cracker barrel. It would shoot little rubber people. There was one that shot little rubber nuns i think
The catapult was a Chicken chucker. I got one as a white elephant gift years ago. Fun gag gift.
you should have gotten the vulcan, they can be worth TONS now.
+Secret Agent Randy Beans It had no ammo belt, no ammo box and no tripod and I already have a dozen of them...
Oh. But you can find the belts online, and you dont really need the ammo box or tripod
I found a Vulcan at a goodwill and those things are normally so expensive so he should have copped it. Mine came with no belt but I ordered one
freaking...LEGO BIONICLE GLATORIAN!! I love those! my first ever bionicle sets were mata nui and...the fire guy. I forgot his name forgive me.
If your storage is full sell some stuff on eBay
Generally I either just return it to Goodwill or give stuff away at Nerf wars or at Mod parties or to fans who are in my area and ask to meet up.
Ok thanks for the reply
Captain Xavier you could do weekly nerf giveaways where the fans pay shipping!
Captain Xavier what area are you in?
Captain Xavier can i have that rapid strike 😂😂😂
The tiny catapult launched even tinier rubber cats. I got one in a comic when I was a kid.
Chaylo are you going to go to the third epic nerf war next year
Probably not. Too far away and I cannot afford the travel. :(
Noooooo I really wanted you to come but unfortunately not well have fun thrifting and I increase you finding luck ten fold :)
I like the goodwill runs a lot!
The only things I ever find at my local thrift stores is the occasional maverick and once a night finder. Never anything good or significant.
I have one of those weird black guns. It's from a novelty hover target thing, and it doesn't shoot Nerf darts.
I'm most curious what nefarious plans you have for that Sharpfire.
+Sgoobrmeht I gave it to a fan who sent me a brpken one to fix. Replacing it was easier...
I have one of those blast bazookas, its red and gray though, my dog ate the rocket sadly, demolished rockets work relatively well though. I also have the one ice bionicle
I used to have a pirate one of those catapault guns, it shot little pirate figures.
Tiny catapult is from a game like pig flinging or something where you shoot plastic pigs or other things at plastic structures
Should have picked up the light storm, has a very large tank, also the the zuru bow a few shelves under the stack of rebelle bows is super easy to mod to get almost nic level performance.
*Notification for Captain X*
How about yes
We don't have goodwills and other thrift stores in the Philippines we only have toy stores that have brand new blasters but very expensive ☹️😭
Sad. :(
The Goodwills up here in Maine are barren wastelands as far as nerf thrifting goes ☹ although I was lucky enough to find a pair of pink crushes for $1 each recently
This is like one of the ways to get some Vintage nerf guns which is really good in my opinion
The catapult thing is actually a little launcher. That one flung little rubber chickens. I had one that shot little pigs that was blue until the catapult launched itself off at my friend
When you are in Australia and the best thing you found in these types of shops was a fire strike which you have four of that barely worked
Fun fact: this is my first episode and I went to a goodwill as soon as I watched it and I found......a rapidstrike(and the rapidstrike was super expensive for some stupid reason)and a zombiestrike brainsaw and I actually got the brainsaw because I wanted it for a chainsaw gauntlet
3:08 that was one of my first ever blasters!! It sucked but I loved it.
So captain how well do you think that shield will hold up if you were to use it in a war? Im thinking of getting the viking one.
+Dr. Ravendale it is really tough foam. I think it would hold up well.
2 days ago i went to Goodwill and got a barrel break for 50 cents.
Nice!
where do you live where there are so many good wills? i only have two near me and they never have one blaster. the only blasters and stuff i find are for the same price that target sells them for
MY mailing address is in the description of all my videos...it kinda gives a hint as to my location. ;) I live in Tacoma, Washington.
thanks for telling me
HOW DO YOU HAVE SO MANY GOOD GUNS I HAVE LIKE 2 NERFS IN MY LOCAL THRIFT STORES EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE! I found a thunder bow and a old dart tag one but jeez my best found was a nerf mega accustrike thunder hawk.
There are several factors:
1. Going to LOTS of thrift stores
2. Going in a HIGH population area
not a monster at all. i wish we had such good finds here in portland oregon. i may go to several goodwills before finding a maverick. sometimes i get lucky and one will have three or four and unlike you i happily clean them out. ive only been nerf thrifting for maybe six months and have about 50 recycled blasters to play around with and try to mod. i dont feel as bad if i break or destroy a thrifted blaste
The catapult is a "Chicken Chucker," made to launch tiny rubber chickens.
Not sure if you will see this as it's going on 2+ years after the upload date, but the little yellow catapult device actually flung little rubber chickens. I got one for the gag gift that a friend and I give each year for Christmas as we are both quite the Bah Humbugs around the holidays and refuse real gifts. I believe the brand of mine was ... Accoutrements Rubber Chicken Chucker. ~~edit: I read the vid info after reading this, derp.
Derp... indeed... ;P
Seriously captain how do you always find nerf blasters from the air tech series the best blasters my goodwill gets are firefly's
I love The Good Will Nerf Hunts Make More!!!!!!!😁👍🏼❤️❤️👍🏼😁😁😀
The one you said was ridiculously powerful, it was white and had an orange thing on the side to cok it
For the outro you should have built one of the lego sets XD
ooooh...good idea!
how far do you drive on these goodwill hunts? how many do you usually visit? do you just make a day of it?
There are 10 Goodwills in about a 10 mile radius of my house. Yes, I make a day of it. But only once every few months.
3:53 that black blaster goes to a shooting game FYI.
Have you ever considered gathering goodwill loot and then taking the spoils to flea markets for $$
Captain, that black blaster at the bottom of the shelf in Goodwill 3 is terrible it barely shoots 5 feet.
...yeah...I know...that is why I did not buy it...
Captain Xavier yeah I found one at good will thinking it would be sort of like a maverick, but it obviously wasn't
Just the way you say "thing" I love
You always talk about how outlets are bad and people fight over stuff but people were helping me get the nerf darts and I found a clear 18 stick mag a 25 round drum and 4 good nerf guns
It is almost like I am playing it up for comedic value... ;)
8:55 those bows have massive plunger tubes, bigger than a Longshot someone got one over 170 fps
Those black revolvers are from a target set
4:30 No......What year is it. (I don't know if you get that reference)
Is it just me or are the guardian crossbows kinda dope when re painted
Very cool
Don't want over 9000 mavericks overflowing your arsenal, I'll take em.
