R.I.P. Buzz Bee Toys Inc. – Long Live Buzz Bee Toys
Note: While I try to be as factual as possible, much of this post is based on presumptions and some speculation. I was and am not privy to the exact details behind the acquisition of Buzz Bee Toys by Alex Brands nor am I presently aware of how they plan to work together in the short and longer terms. Granted, considering the deal is barely a month old, chances are they are also figuring things out as well. Continue reading R.I.P. Buzz Bee Toys Inc. – Long Live Buzz Bee Toys

Roads ahead – Water Warriors water blaster developments
With the release of the Water Warriors Waterlord in Walmart, Canada, we are at the re-birth of seeing elastic-based water blasters returning to the consumer market.

Water Warriors brand Evolution Tree updated for 2015
Recently updated the Water Warriors brand Evolution Tree on iSoaker.com. Looking at how iSoaker.com was built, there are many support pages that need to be manually updated each year as new water guns are added to a particular series. I’ve experimented with some content management systems, but haven’t been satisfied with any (not to mention most end up with so many updates and steep server requirements, it gets costly (time and money) to keep them running.

Return of “Hydro Power”
As some have already seen, the review of the Water Warriors Waterlord is now posted on iSoaker.com. The Waterlord is the first rubber diaphragm-based water blaster to be produced by Buzz Bee Toys Inc. since the injunction imposed on them back in 2010. For various reasons, the Waterlord appears as if it will be only available at Walmart Canada in 2015, but with luck, it will appear on shelves in the US for 2016.

Water Gun / Water Blaster Buying Guide for 2015

Aimed at those looking for advice on how to get the best water blasting for the buck, this guide strives to balance objective performance statistics together with cost and user preferences. What is the best water gun for one is not necessarily the best blaster for another.
Of course, while every water gun has its use somewhere, the water blaster models we try to recommend are ones that are more flexible on the field.
In the end, individual preferences may have you choose one of the models not recommended, but it is always better to know your options to improve your ability to make the best choice for YOU!
