Coolest. Thing. Ever.

I honestly had no idea they made these. I saw them on display at the Target toy sale, but didn't get a chance to make a purchase. Ah, to be 10 again..

Looking at these, I'm reminded of the all night Zone 3 sessions I used to frequent in my youth. It leads me to wonder how the Halo hardware compares to the commercial laser tag systems like they use at the modern Zone 3 equivalents like LaserCorps and DarkZone, as it would be pretty cool to have a LaserCorps style skirmish using the Halo gear. I somehow doubt they're going to have the range required, though, and probably don't have any concept of a central scoring system.

Wikipedia seems to have a nice writeup of all the different manufacturers of lasertag equipment, but it doesn't mention very many consumer kits. No matter, at least they look cool.
