Look, those classic blasters are awesome. They were truly great in their day. But with 50 foot ranges easily achievable from inexpensive unmodded blasters these days, they are effectively antiques. Good in their own right, fun to play with, but old and outdated just the same. There's nothing wrong with that. It's just ... progress. I wouldn't take the new version of the Barricade to a Nerf War nowadays, either. Due to the whole switching it's motors on and off.
