LeonTempest, absolutely everything you just asked can be answered sufficiently by reading the Hasbro releases thread, except the last questions.

To the first of them, we don't know. To the second one, we only have a name...

Is it possible to have a colored MW that isnt painted? Why/Why not?
Metal dye only works with certain blends of metals, and is a lot more expensive to do than simply painting, as it would involve changing the process(and likely compound formula) of the metal's formation.

I suspected as much. If I had to guess, it would weaken the metal as well. Certain chroming processes with plaatics result in a milky white, low quality plastic underneath the chrome due to the process used to make the plastic with the chrome. I wouldnt dought that something similar to that could happen with Metal...have aby brys undergone this orocess with a metal part?

Searching the word "Bakushin" in this forum with results shown as posts actually brings up posts addressing every point...

No Beyblades I know of have used dyed metal. It does not usually weaken the structure of the metal, though it does affect the weight. However, as I said, it can only be used with very specific blends, and even within that only more specific blends will show the color to great effect.
Sorry for the typos. Itouch is being a bit tempramental

I get very specific with my searches, like "Bakushin Susanow" search posts, recent timeframes. Whatever

My point was that the addiiton of ths dye durring the molding process
I've seen some full metal proformance tips on eBay are they legal to us in a tournament
Unless they have the Hasbro, Takara Tomy, or Sono Kong logos accompanying them, they are fake, and illegal.

Furthermore, there are no official full metal tips.

He means tips like MF, MB, and MS.
That is not what "full metal" means at all.

I am operating under the assumption that he is referring to the fakes made entirely of metal, because that is what he grammatically implied.

I'm just saying he meant tips like what I listed.

He just bought a Hasbro Screw Capricorn, so yeah...
So then the first part of my post addressed his concern and there was still no reason for you to nitpick.

Gotcha.

Gotcha.

Sorry, I was just trying clear things up. Not trying to nitpick at all [:

And to add onto it, they are legal, just not as good as other tips. Depending on combo, that is. IIRC, MF works well with left spinners, correct? And MB with MF-H Basalt ____BD145? As for MS, it's just bad.
MF is popular in BD145 hybrid attack/stamina, such as MF Gravity Perseus/L-Drago Destroy BD145MF, as well. Honestly, I'd call it one of the better tips in the meta.

MB is... extraordinarily niche, by comparison.

MS is fantastic if you would like to put holes in your stadium with M145.
I'm pretty sure he's talking about these sort of tips:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-PCS-BEYBLADE-M...35b87ead3a

which are 100% metal, and 100% illegal (and from what I have heard in a couple of places, 100% poorly made).

As for MS, BB-10's are quite sturdy, so it's not a huge issue (though it might be with some wheels), but if I see anyone put one anywhere near a tornado attack, there will be contact between my foot and their head before they can launch.

And by the way, the original question probably belonged in purchase consultation, but whatever, grey area I guess.
Actually, since it was a question of legality, it technically belonged in "Questions About the WBO" or in this thread. The mention of eBay does make it more ambiguous, though...

I have definitely seen pictures someone posted of a BB-10 that had a bad run-in with MS. Probably due to them anime launching or something, but I figured I'd mention it!

I was not aware Tornado Attack were more fragile, though. What's the deal? Anything I need to know about before I go all オクトバニッシュ with my DEMS?
Tornado Attack is made of a much thinner plastic than BB-10, or at least, the actual BB-10 version of the MFB Attack Stadium. I have no idea about the other colours, maybe they just used a thicker plastic on the clear BB-10.

Big impacts with the sides of the walls near the stadium exits often crack/pierce them too, again due to thin plastic. Dents aren't such a big issue as long as you're sensible.

I generally would avoid using MFB in Tornado Attack, especially things like variares and anything that you would think could make a hole.

I won't pretend to know anything about KR, but I laughed once I googled/translated that.
Ah, I see.

So that's a yes to "do not go all オクトバニッシュ with Metal Change Core".

Obviously I'd never use MFB in a TA, lol. I have a BB-10!
Thanks to the power of youtube I can now comfortably say that doing so would be very, very dangerous to your Tornado Attack.

Eh, seeing what MFB are like in it can be tempting sometimes (I will admit, I've used them in it a few times), but it isn't really worth it.

But yeah, the plastic is pretty thin, I want to fill the underside of my Tornado Attack with something, but then there's always the risk that that could result in Plastic parts breaking instead of the stadium, and so forth. That said, if anyone has tried anything like that, let me know what you did/how it went Tongue_out
@th!nk- The MagneStadium I own is probably made of thin plastic too. I won't be surprised if it turns out to be thinner than TA, so as to allow the magnets to be effective.
But yeah, I tried filling it up from inside with normal stationery erasers(cut into different shapes and sizes to fit inside... Nothing happened to the plastics used, but my Burn Fireblaze fanatic friend did go away after creating a deep depression right at the center of the stadium... :\
Rubber was the best shock-absorbing thing I could find, and if that could not prevent the hole, then I don't know of any other material... Confused

Yo can anyone answer my question. It's been skipped over. And yes I know this is kinda specialist knowledge.
If I am allowed to ask, what is the waterfall technique?

Sounds like waterfall.

Don't you dare speak of it! It hasn't been tried for years! Let the youngin's go without learning the gruesome existence of the Waterfall Technique..

If you really want to know ... It was actually supposed to be a joke. I'm not sure though.
Edit-Yeah looking at the way Dan was talking about it its most probably a joke.

I had tried it yesterday Dan. Speechless
Watch the video of the first world championships ... Yes, of course it is a joke.
