Cheap Nerf Darts from Newisland.

Here today, I’m going to be taking a look at another, alternative option for cheap Nerf darts. They seem to be popping up quite frequently online, but whenever they show up on Amazon (and with Prime Shipping), they get my attention. So imagine how I felt when Newisland contacted me about testing out their new foam dart refill pack. They sent me a free press sample, the “Newisland 200pcs Foam Darts, with Blue Round Head and Orange Suction Refills Pack.” And this is my review!

What’s in the Box?!

200 darts. What else? This refill dart pack comes packed to the brim with cool Newisland foam darts. There are 60 suction cup darts and 140 Elite type darts. They are packaged in rows of 10 darts. The rows of darts are wrapped in plastic and neatly packed in the box. Opening the plastic was pretty easy, so no complaints there. At least they aren’t individually wrapped, because I’ve seen that before!

Are cheap Nerf darts quality Nerf darts?

Newisland Foam Darts Aesthetics.:

So once you fully unpack the Newisland dart refills pack from the box, you might notice that they look a little familiar. The suction darts are the same color as the old streamline darts from the N-Strike days.That’s a cool switch from the standard Elite blue and I like the color choice, if even just for the sake of nostalgia. The other darts, referred to as “blue round heads” are highly reminiscent of standard Nerf Elite Darts.

Cheap Nerf Darts – Foam Quality Assurance?

Now usually when you order cheap Nerf darts from the internet, you might be in for quite a mixed bag. I’ve seen such varying degrees of construction, ranging from slight imperfections to downright unusable. And that’s all in the same order of darts. Not here. The Newisland foam darts are surprisingly high quality for third party darts. Out of 200 darts, there was only 1 that had any serious issues with quality. That dart was cut too short, like a bad circumcision. The funny part is, the dart still functioned in springers and front-loaders, just not flywheel blasters.

Cheap Nerf Darts – Performance?

Now here is the tricky part. I actually saw a slight drop in performance while using the Newisland foam darts. With the Elite type darts, it was a drop of about 10 feet. That’s not too bad. But with the suction cup streamline darts, I saw a pretty substantial drop in range. So in my mind, the blue darts can be acceptable for use in any kind of setting, from Nerf Wars to target practice. The suction darts, on the other hand, are better left for indoor play. The suction cup on the end of the dart is very good at sticking, so there’s lot of fun to be had around the house with those.
