Nerf N-Force Stonewall Shield and Sword

These are very durable--practically indestructible, and a lot of fun. The only drawback is that I didn't realize from the picture that the sword is not the length as other Nerf swords. I should've realized it because they look the same length in the picture. Anyway, not really a problem, but I figured I'd mention it.

I have bought a bunch of Nerf force items i.e. the warrior axe, 2 swords and now this and i have to say I have to say I did expect more from the shield. the last 3 nerf items I bought far exceed expectation and maybe set the shield up to disappoint. It is durable but it feels less robust and it only has Velcro straps no handle so it is hard to use for anyone especially a preteen or younger. I don't regret the buy because my son loved it but he doesn't seem to play with it as much as the other nerfs or as long just because it is harder to hold.

The Nerf battle weapons are some of the best foam weaposn ever made. I have the full set and think they are all great. I teach martial arts and we use these for special events and games. The kids love them and make for some epic battles.The sword with the shield is a little stumpy and more like a knife. But all the other weapons are fantastic.

Much to much over priced

Got this for my nephew and he loves it! He is 7, the dagger is a little small but he still likes it. The shield was the real winner for him. In my opinion it could be made better, more sturdy. If you look at the picture, the dark areas are all hard plastic, the other areas are easily moved foam. He really liked it though and that is what is important.

I bought this for my 5 year old son's birthday. The box it comes in is huge and packaged very well. The sword is much smaller then the other shadow lines, but I honestly thing he likes it better. The sword looks very durable and has a very comfortable handle. He wailed on me with it and it doesn't sting nearly as bad as the shadow or marauder. The shield could stand to be about 20% larger then it is. If you are buying this for a teen I think they would be very disappointed with it's dimensions. What the pictures on amazon fail to show you is that the back part of the shield has a good amount of plastic on it. I'm not sure if this is necessary to keep it's shape or provide some reinforcement, but I wonder about the durability of it's parts. There is only one "handle" and it's a velcro strap attached to the middle plastic circle part of the shield. It looked okay on my son, but when I put it on I found it very difficult to control and keep the shield from sliding up and down my arm. It would have been nice for them to include a handle for a person to grab on the back...like a real shield. As it stands now, the shield hangs on ones forearm, but only as tight as the velcro holds....safety first I guess. I'm not sure if they kept a handle or sleeve off of this for packaging issues or to prevent people getting the shield stuck on their arm. If they did put a handle on the shield near the side it stands to reason that a left handed user would be forced to use it on their dominant arm. It sits as good as any cheap plastic shield you might find at the store, I guess I was just hoping for more. I don't think it's value is worth $25.

I bought this and the nerf hatchet for my step son for Christmas. It is holding up great in spite of a five year old spending hours so far stabbing and hacking at me. Whole lot of fun and makes me feel like a kid again sword fighting with him.

My 8 year old son loves the shield. It is a good size, light weight and feels very sturdy. I wish I could have purchased just the shield. The "sword" is very short - more like a dagger especially when compared to other nerf swords. I would have given it 5 stars if the sword were longer. If you love the nerf battle gear as much as our household, this is a must for your arsenal.
