This first generation of NERF Star Wars toys will likely lay the groundwork for more advanced toys modeled after large blasters in all future Star Wars films. However, there’s plenty to appreciate in this group of toys, ideal for killing time while waiting in line in December.

Outfitted with a removable barrel extension as well as a folding stock, this two-foot long Stormtrooper Blaster comes with three darts and fires one long dart at a time. Appropriate for ages five and up, this blaster design was modeled after the Star Wars Rebels animated series. (MSRP: $25)

Orignal Trilogy Nerf Lightsabers

Rated for children ages four and up, the NERF lightsabers are a simple toy designed to replicate sabers carried by Luke, Yoda and Darth Vader. Be aware that reviews indicate the Nerf material breaks easily. If you are looking for a faux lightsaber that will take more of a beating, take a look at extendable, plastic lightsaber toys, like the The Force Awakens Kylo Ren Lightsaber. (MSRP: $15)

Shoot like a Stormtrooper: 5 Best Star Wars NERF Toys

Quite possibly the ultimate in cubicle office warfare or teenage shenanigans, the Nerf Rival Zeus is a new motorized blaster that fires foam rounds at roughly 100-feet per second.

Available in both red and blue, the design is someone reminiscent of a blaster that could be found in Bioware’s Mass Effect; both the lettering on the side as well as the paint job.

Complete with a flip up sight as well as a safety trigger lock, Nerf included tactical rails on the sides of the gun to support additional magazines of foam rounds. Each magazine holds 12 yellow foam balls and can be popped out of the Rival Zeus with a single trigger release. It’s also an ambidextrous design, so it doesn’t matter if you are left or right handed when popping in a new magazine.

Firing the Nerf Rival Zeus can be accomplished by popping off single foam rounds at a time or holding down the acceleration trigger to unload the entire 12-round clip. With a 6-pound weight, there’s a certain heft to this Nerf Blaster, especially when the 6 C batteries are loaded into the vertical chamber along the top of the toy. Interestingly, the battery chamber has to be locked in with a screwdriver to prevent sliding back out.

Of course, since this is a new Nerf product, it’s going to be tough to pre-order at the moment. Toys R Us has pre-order pages up for both the red and blue models, but both are currently sold out with a delivery date of August 22, 2015. However, you should be able to find the Nerf Rival Zeus in stores after launch as well as on the main Nerf Store in the coming weeks.
