Yes, this is true, but I doubt this was the case years ago with the older blasters. I can see them adopting something like that around the time N-Strike was planned, since the blasters had to be "bigger" and "cooler"; not to mention, many N-Strike blasters had some very technical achievements that had to be created.

For the "vintage" stuff, I say we keep the years as they are, unless we find good evidence that they were released in a different year.
