You even get targets to practice on, making it fantastic value on the whole.
If your youngest struggles with normal Nerf toys, the Nerf Elite Jr.
Rookie Pack is here to help.
Even though this is the most expensive option, the Nerf Elite Jr.
Rookie Pack is also the best of the bunch by a comfortable distance.
It’s one of thebest Nerf blastersoverall, particularly for young warriors.
Nerf Elite Jr. For starters, it can hold more darts than any other product in the range.
Throw in a stock and revolving barrel that rotates with each shot for maximum cool factor.
That makes it even better so far as bang for buck is concerned.
What about looks, then?
Indeed, it has more in common with the likes of theNerf N-Series Agilitythan anything else.
Performance
So anyway, I started blastin'… and had a great time.
In my experience, the Rambler is more satisfying to use than other Nerf Elite Jr. toys.
With that in mind, I suspect it’ll go downverywell with the intended audience.
Being “easier to prime” isn’t just marketing fluff, either.
Just like other toys in the range, the Rookie Packiseasier to use than normal Nerf blasters.
I appreciate that this is anecdotal, but they seemed to be fans of it.
The range won’t impress as much as theNerf N-Series Pinpoint, sure.
But it’s not bad by any stretch of the imagination.
This results in better value for money than I would have expected considering the low price point.
Should you buy the Nerf Elite Jr.
Rookie Pack despite it being more expensive than other toys in the range.
Would I suggest getting it if you’re buying for older children?
No - I think there are better blasters available on the whole.
However, the Rookie Pack knocks things out of the park when it comes to younger Nerf warriors.
Buy it if… you’re able to find better options for anyone above that threshold.
