The return of an icon!

This past week there's been tons of talk surrounding Nerf's new "elite" blasters, and their de-tuning for certain countries, one of which being Australia, and also about a video of a leaked version of the unofficially announced Vortex Pyragon (re-uploaded by Basic Nerf here). But that news didn't have me anywhere near as interested as this morning's return of the extremely popular Australian blog Urban Taggers after a month of hammering from Hasbro's lawyers about their sources of early release blasters and information. It seems Hasbro has failed after blog owner Pocket pointed out that all of his sources were readily accessible by anyone with the internet access.

What Hasbro has done is absolutely horrible, and has done nothing more than tarnish their own name. I for one, have definitely reconsidered future purchases of Hasbro products, and also whether or not I want my own blog to be supporting a company who would do this to a fellow blog owner. After all this, I wouldn't be surprised if Pocket decided to no longer post anything to do with Nerf on his blog which no doubt will have a notable negative impact upon Nerf's image and sales.

The full story, recounted by Pocket is available for all to see on his blog in this post and is by far, a must read. I am astounded by the poor show of a company that was named one of Ethisphere's most ethical companies and this whole deal has me wondering whether Street Tag Warfare will continue to post anything to do with Nerf or not.
