Thank you to everyone that commented on where to find my son the Nerf N Strike Vulcan. Al of these stores that seem to have it now must have just recently stocked there shelfs because there were none available as I searched. I DID END UP FINDING IT AT THE WALMART LOCATED IN PROVIDENCE, AND I BELEIVE ONE OF THE WORKERS MADE A BIG MISTAKE BECAUSE THERE WERE TWO LEFT AND THEY WERE LOCATED IN THE CLEARANCE AISLE FOR $35.00, SO I AM SO GLAD THAT I GOT IT. JUST A LITTLE INFO FOR THE PEOPLE LIKE ME THAT CALL THE STORES AHEAD TO ASK IF THEY HAVE A PARTICULAR ITEM, SO I DON’T WASTE A TRIP FOR NOTHING..WELL DON’T BELEIVE THEM BECAUSE I FINALLY REALIZED THAT THEY DON’T EVEN BOTHER TO LOOK AND TELL YOU RIGHT AWAY THAT THEY ARE ALL OUT OF STOCK, AND IF YOU GO THERE THAT VERY SAME DAY, SURPRISE SURPRISE THEY HAVE TONS. Well thanks again to everyone that helped me get this one top item on my son’s list and I wish you all a very happy healthy holiday!!!!
I found this AWESOME gift shop Marys Cozy Crafts, it is at 1131 park ave. in Cranston… They have such great gifts, and they are very inexpensive..I finished all of my Christmas shopping there.. Just stop by like I did, and check it out for yourself…It was so cool…Beautiful stuff..
i went to toyrus, they had the VULCAN at 1:30…if none on shelf they were also in the top rafters
Danielle - I was in Toys R Us in Swansea MA last night and they had a few of the Nerf N Strike Vulcan game for Wii.
I was at Toys R Us in Warwick yesterday 12/16 and they had tons of Nerf Vulcans. Good Luck!!

Before I go anywhere to shop for an item I check Amazon.com or ebay. My twin grand-daughters wanted this special doll that was $39.99 so that meant I would have to buy 2. I went onto Amazon and they were on sale for $14.99. If I speant $50.00 I would get free shipping so I bought 2 doll outfits. Now that’s what I call a deal. No shipping & no tax.
I am desperatly trying to find the Nerf N Strike Vulcan, I have searched every Walmart and Toys R us with in 50 miles to me and I have come up empty everytime, It seems to be sold out EVERYWHERE, if anyone knows where I might be able to find this item please let me know, This is the one top thing on my sons list for Christmas besides a puppy that my husband and I have already purchased, just looking to complete his Christmas, Any help would be greatly appreciated.
