I can do a few photos at a time, and for now here's some of the good stuff.  Most notably, the only new blaster on hand was the Snapfire 8.  8 shots, Dart tag line, and a trigger pull primes the blaster, rotates the turret, and there is a bottom dial on the handle to determine range http://foamfromabove.blogspot.com/2012/02/hasbro-nerf-showroom-2012.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (VasTheStampede)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19005233.post-5736816040931180379Sun, 12 Feb 2012 02:51:00 +00002012-02-11T20:53:06.500-06:00new nerf 2012nerftoy fairrayvenfireflylight it uphasbroelitepraxislumitronfirehailThe Toy Spy's gotten a first look at the Hasbro Showroom before the festivities begin tomorrow; if you want to have a look (including Nerf related goodness) make sure to check out his gallery!  Scroll down to see the Nerf images.
