1.0 out of 5 stars NERFPOOP, October 25, 2008

This review is from: Nerf Nerfoop (Backboard Styles Vary) (Toy)

This toy comes with 6 pieces, total. The first line of the instructions is "1. Push the hoop bracket through the hole from the back." The picture is of what you can assume (although it's never stated) is the "hoop bracket". You are supposed to put this bracket through the hole in the back of...what? They forgot a word. What was the word they forgot? It's a really, really hard word, so stay with me here...THE BACKBOARD. I guess they ran out of funding for ink. The boardroom meeting must've been brutal. "NO! We simply cannot afford to add the word 'backboard' in the instructions! I mean, LOOK AT THE PRICE OF INK!!!" The instructions get worse from there.

This product is made by Hasbro, a name that warms the childlike cockles of my heart. It's a name I heard first while rolling around in deep pile carpet and watching Speed Racer and playing with Mr. Potato Head (Hasbro) and G.I. Joe (Hasbro). They should know better.

Nerf has managed to destroy what was once a simple, fun, and durable concept. I strongly suggest consumers purchase a cheap knock-off with the old-school metal hoop mount.

I used to have a "Nerf Hoop" in my room as a kid. I remember it being fun just to see the hoop hanging on my door. I also have a handful of good memories shooting around and playing horse with my friends/family on my beloved Nerf Hooop.

Fast forward to me being 33 years old and buying a Nerf Hoop for my daughter's room. First of all, the product is totally "different" now. And when I say "different" I mean "pathetic".

The other reviewers' comments about the instructions being nonsensical are completely valid. How hard should it be to put a Nerf Hoop together??? Well apparently it's like reinventing the wheel now. The pieces don't fit flush together, the materials are extremely cheap and brittle, and the backboard is ridiculous. What was wrong with the old hoop I used to have in my room???

Please do NOT buy this toy. Buy a different brand until Nerf gets this product changed. Honestly, this toy (if you manage to even set it up) will not last 1 solid day of use.

If you insist on buying the Nerf Hoop like i did out of nostalgia... you have been WARNED. This toy now stinks.
