And while the Metal XS series looks like a tremendous improvement over Series 1, I do feel a bit cheated that the current Battle Strikers are incompatible with both Metal XS, and Series 2. That said I only own five of them, and wasn't strongly fond of any of them.

Speaking of arbiter here is a video he made http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIcTZ-oPt-w he has all of series 1 I believe. If you search battle strikers on youtube i think his is the 2nd down. Kinda ironic.

We're aware Series 2 will not perform as well as Metal XS. As I stated several times, it is a transitional step and was created for some markets that demanded it. We anticipate mostly everyone will move on to Metal XS.

Not sure I understand the Gobots comparison.



That's why i asked haha. I knew he was super into it so I wanted to know if he was mad now that we're moving to metal as well.

He was at first untill he saw them. They spin longer and the attack rings just look better. He was furious at first though.

is there a dish arena for the battle strikers? I thought maybe I saw something about it but was not sure.

I think you've already answered this question, but I just wanted to make sure again. Are all other parts of series 2 and Metal XS (aside from the weapon) identical and interchangeable?

Have you ever considered releasing interchangeable parts in only one series? So for example releasing a tip in only series 2, but it does have practical applications in Metal XS.
