Fishpond.com.au- Best for blasters?

Recently, Fishpond.com.au has had a major overhaul of all it's Nerf products. Many new blasters have been added, and all the prices have dropped significantly. I must say that the majority of the blasters are cheaper in store, but many blasters are not available in Australian stores. So does this mean Australia's blaster availability if going to get better?

Firstly, the service at Fishpond.com.au is excellent. Everything was tracked via an easy to use system, postage was free, and item I ordered was yet to be spotted in Australian stores. The item was delivered around the date it said it would, and despite the post-Christmas sale, the date it arrived certainly wasn't bad. I found that the box even had the packagers name written on it. It made the service seem very personalised, and like you order wasn't one of the couple hundred they would have inevitably packed that day.

Also, many previously unobtainable blasters are easy to get on Fishpond, with even some brand new BBBs on popping up from time to time. I also found that there is a fantastic amount sales, so if you really want something, just add it to your wish list and then wait for your item to come on sale. It's an easy way to always save some money on  your orders, and with common Free Postage offers, often your item can be obtained for a lot cheaper.

So, does Fishpond stack up for Australian Nerfers as a place to obtain blasters? In my opinion, it does, but it you can readily get a blaster in a store close by to you, then it wouldn't be worth paying extra for the convenience of it being delivered to you, a week after you ordered it. So, technically it is a good site, but use it sparingly and to your advantage!
