a lot of previous blasters have no references at all besides the upcoming nerf book.

reminder: hasbro does like to release blasters quietly, the alpha trooper was not announced until people found it in stores. very likely it was released in 2009 december. besides the pre n-strike blasters were pretty much released the year they were copyrighted.
