I'm Back! (Not like any of you care or anything!)

As you can tell by the title, I have come back from the dead! (not really) And to make a long story short, school, homework, science fairs, running out of nerf guns to mod, so one and so forth. As for some more serious updates, I will have a mod guide for the buzz bee panther up soon. I have also quit toontown (so sad, but I really can't stand that game anymore), for some reasons such as the "wonderful" community, the "non-hypocritical" players, the hackers, the customer support, all my reasons have been said before. I don't care anymore. So screw that crappy game. Now, what do you guys suggest I do with this blog? I really have no ideas, and I only have one or two guns left to post mod guides about. So I need suggestions, and I will gladly take any I get. I can make gaming stuff, art, anything! Just give me your opinions in the comments below! And I will TRY to post regularly, but it might not always be nerf.

Toontown SOS shopping event

Tonight, at 5:00 Toontown Time, I will be hosting my first ever toontown event. Which will be SOS shopping. We will stay for any of the following cards. Barnacle Bessie, Franz Neckvein, Professor Pete, Flippy, Daffy Don, Madame Chuckle, Lil Oldman, Stinky Ned, Nancy Gas, Clerk Clara, and Moe Zart.
It will be hosted at 5:00 Toontown time, and will be in zany acres. Please meet in the VP lobby. I will be on my newest toon, Fobby. He is an orange mouse, is a level 2 telemarketer ( Don't remind me that his suit sucks ). has 76 laff ( i think ), and is a toon-up-less toon. He has maxed 3 gag tracks, which are throw, squirt, and lure. I hope to see some of you there, and i know not many will come. but i don't care.

Explanation. Lack of posts and no videos on the youtube.

Ok. These 2 questions are easy to answer. The no posts is that there is nothing for me to post about. The videos, a couple things. Crap internet, rendering, etc. enough said.

Introducing: The Nite-Luger! (1.0, more to come in the future)

Not much to say about it. It has a longshot front gun spring addition, a custom plunger rod (cpvc with darts and hot glue to fill it.), a size reduction, a custom trigger, and the dart holders are now near the bottom of the handle. Overall its shooting about 50-60 ft. I may make a few more of these soon for a friend.

Nerf Dart Tag Swarmfire Mod Guide

I know what you guys are thinking, FINALLY!!!!! A MOD GUIDE!!!!!!!! I have an explanation for the lack of posts. I really dont have any blasters to review or mod, and I've just been lazy. But I'm going to try and make a post every day i can, starting with this one. I have a few thing i want to post about, so get ready for epic mods.

Swarmfire Mod To do list:

AR removal

Spring Replacement

seal improvement

Plunger padding

To start, we obviously want to remove the batteries and the covers. There are three different screw sizes. The extra long ones go in the front of the yellow casing. smallest screws go on the rest of the yellow cover and then on the right end of the actual swarmfire. The 2 middle sized screws goon the left side of the actual swarmfire. 

Wow. Surprisingly simple.

In order to open the white gearbox, you will need to unscrew it, (there are three screws, only one of them is different, which is the smallest) then, using a flat-head screwdriver, press down on the plastic tabs holding it together. We will need to take out the plunger tube and turret.

Not that simple now am I!!!

 With The plunger tube free, your going to want to add E-tape under the o-ring. I added a maverick spring under the main one, (you can add other springs, i may actually use a different one.

The added maverick spring under the main one.

All the dart posts removed

 To remove the dart posts, I used a dremel with a utility bit, and cleaned it up a little with said bit.

no more annoying and pointless ARs.

To remove the AR on the actually plunger tube. I hammered and dremeled it out, then cleaned up the whole a little bit. As a quick note, you may find it difficult to reassemble the gear box. For plunger padding, i used felt, but i forgot to take a picture of it. Woops!

That's all! Also, this mod guide will work for the speedswarm. Obviously just less ARs to remove.

Toontown. A game that is addicting, sort of.

Yeah. I have built a sort of addiction to a certain MMORPG that is very underrated and forgotten.

Say hello!

Yup. That...... I won't let posts about it flood my blog, so instead, I've made a youtube channel and toontown stuff will be there. I will also make videos about mods, pokemon, art stuff, etc.

FobbyModWorks DeviantArt Account!

I will be making all kinds of drawings and/or clay figures. Here are some examples of my handy-work.

Before I get comments about this, this was completely off of my memory.

DeviantArt here: http://fobbymodworks.deviantart.com/

An easy mod that is only dangerous because of tools capable of the decapitation of your fingers

But seriously, this mod is REALLY EASY. All you need is an 80 dollar handheld drill and saw that has the potential to saw off your fingers. ITS COMPLETELY SAFE!!!!!! It gets about 40-50 ft. It's basically just cpvc inside of a reactor that is glued in place. Its a very nice secondary blaster to use with my loadout, but I don't plan on using it very often.

Explanations: No New Nerf Posts, Pokemon Stuff, Possible Sales.

Ok. I havent made a post in forever, and I feel it needs to be explained. First of all, I dont have any blasters to mod, and I dont think I will be doing any nerf stuff for a long time, mainly because of something else that will be explained later. I doubt I will get any of the new nerf guns, mainly because I might get bored with all the newer blasters. I'm not quitting nerf, but I might be making homemades sometime in the future.

As for Pokemon stuff, I can make posts involving deck ideas, but I may be selling a large majority of my cards that are older for anyone who's interested. I will make a video showing all my rares, ultra rares, and reverses that are for trade.

And in terms of sales, I might be selling many pokemon cards, a few nerf blasters, and a few video game related things, I may do commissions for nerf mods, and if I do you guys will be the first people to know.

That's all for today, I know I didnt make any exciting posts, but for now there's not much for me to post about.

Fun Fobby Decks: Hydreigon

I need to put this note in advance. I'm sorry that I didn't post a decklist on Wednesday, I was busy that day, I tried and made the decklist, but I ran out of time and couldn't make a decklist. So to make up for it, I will make a decklist tomorrow as well. Also, there were some problems with this post because of some technical difficulties.


I'm a huge fan of hydreigon as a pokemon, but the card is also pretty playable as a "Just for fun" kind of deck. Let's look at Him.
Hydreigon NVI 79/ NXD l03:   150hp, 3 retreat ,fighting weakness, physic resistance.

Hydreigon NVI 79/ NXD l03:   150hp, 3 retreat ,fighting weakness, physic resistance. 

(Poke-Body) Dark Aura: All energy attached to this pokemon are  Energy instead of their usual type.

 Berserker Blade: 60; Does 40 damage to 2 of your opponents Benched Pokemon. (Don't apply weakness and resistance for Benched Pokemon.)














The first thing you notice about Hydreigon is the massive 150hp, which is even out of range of some EX cards, making him a good tanking pokemon, combine that with the physic resistance. and you got a very powerful pokemon that can take alot of hits from pokemon like mewtwo. The other good thing is that he is a splash-able tank because he has a poke-body, Dark Aura, that allows all energy attached to him to be dark instead of their regular type, which makes him a very good attacker, and combine that with the fact that he works with DCE, and you get a very nice main attacker that is capable of taking hits and dishing out damage. The only problem I can think of that he has is being a stage 2. Being a stage 2 isn't that great, with all the hard-hitting Exes in the current format, he can still be knocked out in 1 hit from Zekrom and Reshiram EX, luckily, they aren't being played as much, but the next set will bring more powerful pokemon EX that can KO Hydreigon in 1 hit, such as Rayquaza, Ho-oH, and Terrakion (NO NOT MORE TERRAKION). Enough rambling, let's look at the decklist.

Regular Version: Meh...

Hydreigon with Eelektrik

1 Shaymin UL


T/S/S: 29




3 Professor Juniper

2 N


3 Pokemon Communication
3 Pokemon Catcher
2 Crushing Hammer
2 Enhanced Hammer
2 Switch
1 Ultra Ball
2 Dual Ball
2 Rare Candy
4 Dark Patch
2 Random Receiver


Energy: 12


4 Darkness Energy
6 Grass Energy
2 DCE

The Strategy is Simple: use Eelektrik and Dark Patch to accelerate your Hydreigon and Darkrai, while taking advantage of Darkrai's ability to give yourself free retreat. Mewtwo EX is to counter Mewtwo EX. And Shaymin is  here to take care of Terrakion. Also use cards like Sableye to reuse your hammers (also known as Hammertime!) and to reuse Dark Patch as well. Overall, this is a solid deck with a nice strategy, but I still need to test with it, I still really like the strategy, however. 

Nerf Hyperfire Mod Guide

The Nerf HyperFire, also known as the bad oversized maverick: before mods. When modded this blast will reach respectable ranges (50ft.).

The first thing you (obviously) want to do is take it apart, which isn't hard, but you have to take off the cocking mech first.

In order to mod it you'll want to take out the turret and plunger tube.

In the turret, remove the five screws holding it together.

The finished turret mod.

 The plunger, regreased and seal improved.

And that's all you need to do to improve you nerf hyperifire

Oh my gosh...... I MADE A POST ON SCHEDULE!!!! I DID IT!!!!!!!

SO MANY UPDATES

Long story short, I wont be able to do pack openings and I will make a mod guide tomorrow if it kills me.

Random Deck Idea: Force A' Nature

The Reference should be obvious for you gamers, but if it isn't, look up Team Fortress 2. Anyway, onto the deck. If you know anything about the new(ish) box that came out a while ago the deck obviously uses a genie (wait, just one? Well the title is Force A' Nature, not Forces of Nature.) The Deck is a Tornadus deck, running both the regular and EX versions, sadly I have no real way to test it, because I don't have the ex and I only have one of the regular version, so that kind of stinks, but I bet you guys probably just want to see the deck list, so here it is.

Pokemon =8

X2 Tornadus EX
X4 Tornadus
X2 Mewtwo EX
X2 Shaymin

T/S/S =38

X4 Professor Juniper
X4 PONT
X3 N
X2 Sage's Training

X2 Pokemon Communication
X4 Pokemon Catcher
X4 Junk Arm
X2 Random Receiver
X4 Dual Ball
X2 Switch
X3 Evolite

X4 Skyarrow Bridge

Energy =14
X4 DCE
X6 (any energy)

Overall, it's an, "interesting" idea. Tell me your opinion in the comments.

Lots of page views lately, plus more stuff I'm looking for.

I know I've probable been killing you guys with the whole lack of nerf stuff, but I really haven't made or found anything to mod or review. The integration is almost done, but I need to do a little more work before I will make a post about it. I've hit over 200 pageviews, which for me is a pretty big accomplishment. I want to thank you guys for helping me reach that amount of pageviews, so to celebrate, I'm going to take a poll. I will either do a blaster mod every other week, or I will do a pack opening every other week. You will have a week to vote. Thanks a ton and have a great summer guys!

Update on stuff that I"m looking for:

Zekrom (any)
Eelektrik NVI
N (FA)
Victini (FA)
Mewtwo EX (either)
Hydreigon (shiny)
Tornadus EX (either)

Trade email: FobbyModWorks@gmail.com

Pokemon Card Binder plus other stuff for trade and pictures of my deck

All the stuff here is for trade if your interested (except for my deck and those magmorter. They have sentimental value). I also have a tin filled with energy and trainer cards if you need any. I have cards from never sets that I am willing to trade if you want them. I am looking for:

Why I haven't been posting + Deck

OK, school is finally over, so I now actually have time to make posts. I have been working on to custom maverick mods for a friend of mine, and those are being a real pain, so I will probably make a post about those whenever I finally finish them. As for my deck, it's a pretty standard ZekEel variant, but I'm still missing some cards, (catcher, a few eels, mewtwo, zekrom) but other than that, it's pretty much finished (keep in mind, I just said that this isn't complete.

As I said, my deck is not complete, if anyone has any cards I'm looking for I may make a post about stuff I have for trade.

Even more updates; Secret Project

I know it's been a few days since my last post, I've been very busy with modding stuff. That vintage blaster FINALLY CAME!!!!! But I modded it right away and I'm currently working on integrating it into something else, which you guys will see soon. I've actually been working on 3 secret projects. One of them is a homemade, the other is said integration, and the last is more of a paintjob than a mod. That's about it, I'm hopin to finish the integration sometime this week.

Pokemon Dark Explorers

Take THAT Zekrom!!!!!

Ok. I know it's been like 3 days since my last post. I really need to try and get up to date. So, long story short, the latest Pokemon card set just came out, which is dark explorers. This set obviously focus's on darkness Pokemon (it has dark in the name!), and there are actually some useful darkness Pokemon, like Darkrai, Krookodile, and Zoroark. I picked up 5 packs of the new set, and 1 next destinies pack (looking for Mewtwo). Out of the next destinies pack, I pulled a Shaymin ex, out of the dark explorers packs, I got an Entei ex, and a Raikou ex! And, I got the new Cleffa, Plusle! Anyway, I got good cards, and I'll probably make a post about my Raikou deck soon, which will be very epic.
     
                 As for Entei, I saw a cool deck idea on a forums (I forget which one however), but it's basically Entei + Volcarona. It focus on burning with Entei then using grand flame ro accelerate other Entei. It seems like a good deck, but I sadly don't have any Volcarona to test this deck with, and I only have the one Entei, but this decks seems like a good idea that could see some play.
Anyway, that's about it, there isn't much to the deck.

That's all for today, I'll cover other decks soon.

Well....... This is interesting.

I know I said that I would go to that dark explorers prerelease, but something came up and I didn't get to go, therefore preventing me from making a post about it (obviously), There are some reviews I am going to TRY to post (if I dedicate myself to something, I usually fail) therefore, I am going to TRY to post about the stuff I want to post about. I seriously hope that vintage blaster comes soon. Anyway, Look forward to possible posts!

Nerf Vortex Lumitron Review

The Lumitron. The newest addition to the range of long-range disc blasters (no pun intended) This blaster is basically the praxis without a stock and a clip that charges glow in the dark discs. The ranges are about 60+ ft. This is a very good blaster but it is sadly, like all the other vortex blasters, difficult to mod. It can jam, but it doesn't jam very often. there are tons of locks in the blaster. You can't cock the blaster without a clip in the blaster, you can't fire the blaster without a disc in it, and it can actually be cocked multiple times if no disc is loaded. Overall, I think the Lumitron is a good blaster, but I'm not a fan of vortex guns in general.

New Blog for Pokemon Stuff, Fobby Strategies!

Explanations; Why I haven't been posting, and I got a Dremel!

First of all, I've been sick for about a day or 2, and I had to set-up my armory, and I actually went to my home depot and picked up the dremel stylus, and it's just the coolest thing ever for mods. I'll make a post about that soon. I have a review that will be up today, I cant really do that mod guide I had planned, mainly because I have to paint it, and I still have that pokemon dark explorers prerelease to go to tomorrow. I think that covers everything that's been going on, I actually have a vintage blaster on it's way to me that I will review as soon as I get it.

My New Armory Set-up

Duh-Duh!

So..... Yah! There are a few things here that I didn't show yet (Rayven, Jolt, Tech Target, Lumitron), but this is my current armory set up. What do you guys think? let me know in the comments below!

Polls

I've recently added a new polls gadget to my blog. I will try to update as soon as I can when the poll ends.

New Layout

So.... Yah.
What do you guys think? I will add some kind of banner or something soon.

Nerf Dart Tag SwarmFire Review

You guys seem to really like my nerf gun reviews, so here is another dart tag gun, the SwarmFire!

Also known as, the wide-mouthed bass!

 The SwarmFire is a full-auto, battery powered blaster that gets about 30-35ft. stock. The SwarmFire can't jam and has a high rate of fire, about 3-4 darts per second. The SwarmFire features a removable shoulder stock, which is a really comfortable stock. With the stock on it is the EXACT size of a Longshot, without it it's a little bit bigger than an Alpha Trooper. It takes 6 C batteries (not included) and holds 20 darts. Overall, there's really nothing bad about this blaster. I think it would be a great addition to any loadout.

The SwarmFire without it's stock.

A front view of the SwarmFire

Size Comparison of the SwarmFire and Alpha Trooper

 To sum up this review, BUY THIS BLASTER.
Also, I'm using a different camera. What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments.

News; Nerf gun reviews, Pokemon Dark Explorers Prerelease, and a mod guide.

This week, I'm going to make a goal to make a post about all of the above listed things. The Dark Explorers Prerelease that I'm going to is this weekend, so I will try and make a post about that on Saturday. I have 3 nerf guns that will each be getting a review throughout the week, I have a mod guide coming soon, and I have a little surprise that will be coming this week as well.

New Page

The page will be filled with lots of pokemon pack openings and video game related stuff later today.

Out of curiosity......

Would any of you guys like pokemon related posts? If so let me know in the comments below.

1st week, nearly 100 pageviews?

Wow. I was not expecting to get this many page views in such a short time. I just want to say that if any of you enjoy my posts and look forward to what I post next, then I really appreciate that people look forward to reviews or mod guides, or just random nerf stuff that I make, then I think you are going to like the secret project coming up. I'm still not going to reveal what said secret project is, mainly because I have more nerf guns than I made posts about, so be looking forward to that. Anyway, that's about it, There will be more posts coming soon.

Nerf Magstrike mod guide

The Nerf Magstrike is a pretty good blaster stock, but with proper mods it can be a very useful and powerful blaster. This mod guide will show you how to do those mods.

The internals of the Magstrike

The piece on the right is a lock that you'll find under that green plate. You will actually want to put the piece on the left back in.

There is a small air release hole on the front of the plunger thingy (On a side note, there were to holes carved in the front of my magstrike, probably because this was pre-owned).

You also will have to remove those white covers over the bladder.

I've noticed that the tooth thing that advances the clip came loose in mine. I just glued it back in.

 The finished internals.
Overall, the magstrike seems to be getting better ranges, mine is older and has never been in the best condition possible, but now it's shooting about 50ft. Another mod you can do is add some duct tape to the side of the clip so that it wont fall back down.
