Update 10/18: Hey look at least one exists in the wild! SirPetals shared his Mando rifle on reddit but I have no idea how he got his so soon. Does this mean the delivery timetable is moved up? www.reddit.com/r/Nerf/comments/qagex6/something_something_supply_issues_my_arse/
Go ask him how he expects to use it in a PaintBall game, LOL.

Hey funny hat man, thanks for the video and all the info, I did preorder the Aliens blaster, I really hope they come through on that one. Too bad about the Mandalorian APB, that would be the perfect touch to a full on cosplay Mando outfit... sorry you're a mad hatter today, I hope you get Hasbro's attention and they can make something positive happen. Good luck and thanks again for all the info.
If there's one thing I've learned from video games is never pre-order from a company line that hasn't proven they can deliver on their promises. Just because it has a familiar name/brand to it doesn't mean they won't muck it up and make you beta test for them. Some of this can probably be chalked up to the plague disrupting supply lines, but this sounds like it's a manufacturing error/hiccup. I'll be glad to see the smile on people's faces when they receive these blasters, but I'm glad I didn't order them.
My guess is the thing they ran into difficulty with was something with the chips for the sound effects, as that's the most significant difference between versions. They may be running into issues with sourcing enough of them.
I'm not sure about any of this. While the two "LMTD" blasters do look really cool, I feel like the way their release has been handled isn't the best and it's kind of detracted from the main attraction. Thanks for the video Brett, very informative! 🧡💙💜
@@beretnarf this would actually be the best Netflix documentary Someone give it a cool name "They said it was delayed so instead of waiting we came for them"
I have pre-ordered the Pulse Rifle and hounestly the new of the mado one getting delayed doesn't surprise me, The Balck Series Mandolorian Dark Saber was originally was set to release in June of this year then got pushed back to October and it's still not available to purchase. This also has been happening with there 6inch figures.
Amazon's pre-order is telling me January 3rd for delivery... I feel the same about the pulse rifle. Hard to commit to it a year in advance when there's no real sign they'll deliver.
if people drop preorders does this mean there will be nerf lmtd items floating around to grab? I really hope for the cheaper version to come here to US since I missed the premium version
Just a heads up but this blaster has been out in Australia for about a week now. Although posting times have slowed down so I won't recieve mine until the following week.
@@beretnarf I just recieved my blaster and a few things to note. It is the most awkward grip I have ever held. You nearly gotta snap your wrist to hold it. And secondly, it is incredibly light. Lighter than most nerf blasters I've ever held. Is it worth it in my opinion. Absolutely not, but I still enjoy the novelty of owning it although that depends if that gamestop version has the exact same functions or not.
Put in a pre order for the 84.99 dollars Canadian Mando blaster add, that you displayed in your video, looks cool and could not pass up the price. Hope it shows up in four months like they stated in the add, but good to see your video, about all the delays, so won’t hold my breath. Thanks for your video.
Had pre-ordered Mando's rifle last year on amazon last year had the same notification pop up a week or two ago. Also pre-ordered the Aliens Pulse Rifle right off the Hasbro site at launch. Since Hasbro is local company near me (literally within 20 min drive from their corporate and design/RND offices) and have had family work for them I fully expect order delays until they release mass market. Especially how things are going with shipping and manufacturing, I don't think they'll ship out the Mando blaster till second quarter (mid April - early June) of next year.
Just for the record, here in Australia I picked mine up on Monday this week from Zing (Australian Gamestop) - they have heaps of them (there were 4 on the shelf) - The blaster is really nice, and the packaging is top stuff as well. Hope that info helps...
Lights and sounds and maybe a more simple paint scheme, basically the same idea as the cheaper mando blaster. It might not happen but this has of course peaked the possibility.
Hey Brett got a message from EB Games here in Australia from which I ordered my Mando rifle saying I can come and pick it up, so I guess we didn't get delayed here in Oz.
Im looking to get it for Christmas (the 125$ one) because its an investment but idc how far it shoots i just want the breach loading one that will go up in value when they dont produce it anymore
Ok I know some are miffed because they may have wasted money on the more expensive version. But for the average consumer (that being me) this makes it waaaayy more available. So in my case I’m okay with this.
I thought similarly but then remembered that the DZPmk1.1 came out later and was basically the exact same price but with a fixed stock. Nexus yeah, if that came out first the MK1/1.1 would've been a tough sell.
The mando blaster looked cool but decided it is way to expensive for a single shot blaster so didn't pre order. Then when I saw the Aliens riffle I was thinking, thats a better bang for your buck and contemplated a pre order. THEN the mando rifle was delayed and the GameStop budget version was leaked. So now I'm thinking do I wait for a GameStop Alien blaster or risk a pre-order, or just walk away from the whole thing. Im thinking I'll walk away.
I don't know how many nerfers are also fans of Magic: The Gathering, but this whole thing seems eerily similar to the blunder hasbro made (and _continues to make_ ) with their Secret Lair products for MtG.
I’m kinda a Star Wars fan too 😉 Interestingly enough, I preordered my Mando blaster and got the confirmation email but I never received any update (like the email you referenced about the delay). 🤔
@@beretnarf - Hasbro Pulse. I checked the status of my order yesterday after watching your video. It currently says, “This pre-order item will be available to ship on approx 12/30/2021”.
I pre order mine in March if this year on GameStop and I’m really mad that it keeps on getting delayed. Also just saw that SirPetals got his and I just want the baster and be done with this.
Yeah I did not expect the day to start out with someone posting one in hand! One of my chief complaints/concerns was that Hasbro hadn't shown any physical, functional models aside from what's displayed for the preorder. At least this puts some of those fears to rest.
We have been in a pandemic for over a year. There is zero reason to complain and act confused about delays. Its happening to every industry, and will continue to happen as long as the shipping docks are full. It sucks but it’s life and there are actual, very valid reasons for why things are being delayed.
There’s always reason to complain! But seriously yes I’m sure the pandemic has had some impact on this blaster release as well as others. Yet they can’t even acknowledge that’s the cause of delay? My bigger complaints/concerns here are the continuing preorders and that surprise lower priced mando blaster. Makes it hard to get excited for the Nerf LMTD blasters.
I got mine in Australia. The range is good. Not consistent. The quality isn't amazing. And the breach door is a bit flimsy. My barrel is bent probably effects accuracy. Comes with grey elite darts. They fly accross the room pretty fast. Sounds effects of breach closing is the best thing about it. The gun shot sound is lame. The scope is not usable at all. Cannot see clearly through it. Very blury, completely useless. And fixed in place. Good for cosplay and that's about it. It is freakishly long. Nothing is removable.
The cheaper Mando rifle appears to lack the electronics of the full price version. I didn't pre-order because it appears that Smyths will be selling the premium version, even if I did decide I wanted it. If there was a cheaper Pulse Rifle, they'd remove the sounds and ammo counter. Unless a listing for that turns up too, I'll still pre-order the premium Pulse Rifle because I want those features. Oh, and don't forget that we're getting a LMTD Destiny blaster and potentially a Halo one. There's a reveal at Pulse Con in less than a week. If only we could get more 'break action' blasters that load in the front like the Mando blaster. Hasbro insists on giving them awkward backwards loading
Well, since Gears of War has had a few variations of their gun with the ChainSawBeyonet at GameStop, I wouldn't be surprised to see those ReReleased as Blasters. Possibly avaen the Assassin's Creed things.
LMTD might get really interesting, if they get iconic guns from more things. Maybe a Predatir ShoulderCannon, or BatMan '89's Joker's pistol. They are working with GhostBusters, so a LMTD GhostBuster ProtonBack and NeutrinoWand would be really cool.
I personally dont know if i would order one of these because it seems nerf has jumped in way over there head and are quickly trying to cover it up. So its like what are we gonna do when, after a long long time, they tell us they cant meet the demand numbers and not everyone gets the blaster they preordered. Or, hopefully this doesn't, they start accepting money and there is another problem, and people get ripped off. There is a lot of hazy stuff going on and it makes it hard to trust we'll get what we payed for.
Also I cant be the only one who realized how messed up and corrupted our world is. I just hope hasbro doesn't give into the desease of corporate greed and corruption and keeps up on their promise. Beret i hope u get ur blaster and i cant wait for the video. Love ur videos keep it up
This is a supply chain issue. Polices put in place by the current regimes are impacting shipping for everything. Toys are the last priority. I know that we like to make fun of Hasbro but this time its not their own fault.
I don't doubt that this is something they would've rather avoided but circumstances around the blaster and very limited updates can make customers (like me) uncertain about future offerings.
@@beretnarf absolutely. I dont think pre-orders are a good option for anything honestly, especially not now with issues like they are. I think this will last for several more years at least and then we may see things like this get better. I think even Hasbro may not know what the updates are. And thats really bad PR.
I think it would be ten times suckier if they announced the orange version AFTER taking your money, just as a sidenote. But yeah getting preorders delayed sucks; that's a lesson I've learned from videogames. While a delay is better than a unfinished product (which I've also learned is what you can get from companies which commit to release dates and don't allow delays) delaying the release until AFTER Christmas is a massive sad. Fun fact: Hasbro acquired Kenner in the early 90s, and in that acquisition they gained the Star Wars contract as well. However, they were really dumb about it. Kenner still had their original contract which was signed in desperation by Lucasfilm while they struggled to put the original movie together, and under it Kenner only needed to give $10,000 a year to Lucasfilm to maintain it; meaning they could sell millions of dollars worth of toys in a year and Lucasfilm were only owed $10,000 of that, though in a year in which they sold no Star Wars toys they still needed to give $10,000 to Lucasfilm in order to maintain the contract. When Hasbro acquired Kenner, they didn't look into the Star Wars contract they had acquired with Kenner, and it lapsed. This was VERY exciting for Lucasfilm, because it meant they could renegotiate for the prequels. Also as an aside, I friggin love your Mad Max Fury Road poster.
Are they going to make the same with the Aliens Pulse Rifle? If they do, That wouldn't be that bad of an idea since it could be cool to see the pulse rifle on shelves. But definitely with a big change, don't make it only a Canadian exclusive, that would be the other thing to ask. Also, the only pre-order I did in life was Halo 4 back in 2012, and the only drawback was that I had to go to school that day, fortunately, my parents went to pick it up while in class, although I would've liked to skip class for only that day, and no matter that some fans still hate Halo 4, I'll still keeping it as a cool moment in my early days of High School when I played split-screen coop with my friends before and after my afternoon shift, and how 2012 wasn't a time where COVID 19 wasn't even a thing.
@@beretnarfI got it from have-a-blast toys. They required a deposit, and since I didn't find it anywhere else, I got it there. Kinda miffed that they made one half the price, but we don't know when or if it'll hit the states.
Hey Beret, For all the things to be upset with Hasbro for, delays on making a Mando Blaster during a Plague, doesn't seem like the right time. Wait until MY Aliens Blaster is delayed, then git mad, git very, very Mad. MMMKay ?
This is always the right time to complain! But seriously yes I’m sure the pandemic has had some impact on this blaster release as well as others. Yet they can’t even acknowledge that’s the cause of delay? My bigger complaints/concerns here are the continuing preorders and that surprise lower priced mando blaster. Makes it hard to get excited for the Nerf LMTD blasters.
@@beretnarf True it’s always fun to complain. It does seem kinda weird that Out of Darts can start to produce parts for a new blaster in weeks, but a billion dollar company like Hasbro takes years to make a blaster.
Would be cool if someone integrated a Than scar into a front fork so my caliburn could look more like the Mando blaster, but not interested in overpriced low performance toys
As a person who obvisously loves star wars to the point where he pre ordered a 125 dollar toy just to "have it". I am really disapointed in the delays :(
I dont want mine..wenever it comes..and im canceling the aliens one if i can..cheaper versions destroy the limited aura..hasbro sucks im going full Dart Zone
I pre-ordered the aliens blaster myself and am definitely prepared for a delay 😬, but I'm glad I couldn't commit to the Mando rifle last year because I like how the orange one looks more than the fancy one. As far as a cheaper aliens blaster, I feel like that is far less likely. The cheaper Mando rifle makes some degree of sense since The Mandalorian is such a hot series rn and they want to maximize their profits by offering a budget version. But delayed pre-orders seem to be a theme for Nerf LMTD since the Travis Scott AR was supposed to ship Oct 2020 but didn't arrive until late Dec 2020, at least the Mando rifle paint scheme actually looks like it's renders 😂
As far as I'm aware the Travis Scott blaster was a slightly different issue not necessarily Hasbro's fault? Still feels close to home regardless... Maybe there won't be a cheaper Aliens blaster but I'm game to find out. Because if not then I may regret not preordering the LMTD one and I don't want to regret NOT preordering.
@@beretnarf I definitely don't blame you for being skeptical for the second time. This is my first time really pre-ordering a major purchase like this and I know if I'm burned by this next October I'll be hesitant for future offerings
Preordered it and was so excited about it I decided to be the Mandalorian for Halloween now I got the costume without a weapon I’m a disgrace to my religion :’(

Forsure. And I bet there's a valid reason for the delay but with no extra insight and another version on the horizon, people can only speculate.
Hasbro hasn't been delivering on promises since Elite range claims ;P
My guess is the thing they ran into difficulty with was something with the chips for the sound effects, as that's the most significant difference between versions. They may be running into issues with sourcing enough of them.

If you purchase the mandolorian blast from Amazon you can order it from they and get it in the next 2 to 5 days.
I must agree with you Brett, the aliens blaster is awesome and the alien movies are amazing
The sad part is that the pre-ordered limited edition blasters are probably sitting in cargo containers on a ship stuck in SF bay....
So the plan is simple: we raid the ship.

The Best Buy Canada Mando rifle is most likely a Canadian exclusive (just like the Mando pistol).

If they make the aliens blaster for $30-$50 less without the ammo tracker and sounds I'll jump on that.

I got fed up waiting and made my own 😃 Now I'm making a pulse file too 😃
This is the way.
The way I see it I'll either wait for a sale or for it to end up in a goodwill somewhere although it's a "limited edition" launch
Ok I know some are miffed because they may have wasted money on the more expensive version. But for the average consumer (that being me) this makes it waaaayy more available. So in my case I’m okay with this.

@@beretnarfI got it from have-a-blast toys. They required a deposit, and since I didn't find it anywhere else, I got it there. Kinda miffed that they made one half the price, but we don't know when or if it'll hit the states.
As a wise mann once said
"Never preorder anything"
Hey Beret,
For all the things to be upset with Hasbro for, delays on making a Mando Blaster during a Plague, doesn't seem like the right time.
Wait until MY Aliens Blaster is delayed, then git mad, git very, very Mad. MMMKay ?
This is always the right time to complain! But seriously yes I’m sure the pandemic has had some impact on this blaster release as well as others. Yet they can’t even acknowledge that’s the cause of delay? My bigger complaints/concerns here are the continuing preorders and that surprise lower priced mando blaster. Makes it hard to get excited for the Nerf LMTD blasters.
@@beretnarf True it’s always fun to complain.
It does seem kinda weird that Out of Darts can start to produce parts for a new blaster in weeks, but a billion dollar company like Hasbro takes years to make a blaster.
It’s kinda sketchy that thy would do this
I love star wars and i might buy this.... if it wasnt over 100 euro....
I think you're just paying for the better and more cool paint job... More realistic to the prop.
Would be cool if someone integrated a Than scar into a front fork so my caliburn could look more like the Mando blaster, but not interested in overpriced low performance toys
As a person who obvisously loves star wars to the point where he pre ordered a 125 dollar toy just to "have it". I am really disapointed in the delays :(
I dont want mine..wenever it comes..and im canceling the aliens one if i can..cheaper versions destroy the limited aura..hasbro sucks im going full Dart Zone
You gotta be kidding me
I pre-ordered the aliens blaster myself and am definitely prepared for a delay 😬, but I'm glad I couldn't commit to the Mando rifle last year because I like how the orange one looks more than the fancy one.
As far as a cheaper aliens blaster, I feel like that is far less likely. The cheaper Mando rifle makes some degree of sense since The Mandalorian is such a hot series rn and they want to maximize their profits by offering a budget version.
But delayed pre-orders seem to be a theme for Nerf LMTD since the Travis Scott AR was supposed to ship Oct 2020 but didn't arrive until late Dec 2020, at least the Mando rifle paint scheme actually looks like it's renders 😂
As far as I'm aware the Travis Scott blaster was a slightly different issue not necessarily Hasbro's fault? Still feels close to home regardless...
Maybe there won't be a cheaper Aliens blaster but I'm game to find out. Because if not then I may regret not preordering the LMTD one and I don't want to regret NOT preordering.
@@beretnarf I definitely don't blame you for being skeptical for the second time. This is my first time really pre-ordering a major purchase like this and I know if I'm burned by this next October I'll be hesitant for future offerings
I want someone to turn this into a nerf mg42
Ok
I was expecting "I'm Seth, just Seth." ruclips.net/video/3HrIqFq8PlY/видео.html
Preordered it and was so excited about it I decided to be the Mandalorian for Halloween now I got the costume without a weapon I’m a disgrace to my religion :’(
