BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion - Spring 2010 (Canada) Fall 2010 (USA & UK)

I can understand their reasoning, but it really seems like they are underestimating the people who will be buying the Beyblades. I'm quite sure that people would be able to tell the difference between them if the HWS Beyblades were clearly labeled as such.

They would only be extending the life of the line if they chose to release the pre-HWS Beyblades, and thus increasing their profits; so I find it quite odd that they have decided against releasing them. Though, if they had chosen to release them around the same time as HWS, I can see some people getting confused, but that could easily be avoided by spacing out the release of them in a similar way to how TT did it.

There were many "systems" in the plastic generation, and people were clearly able to define the differences between them, so I don't think it would be any different this time around had Hasbro chosen to release pre-HWS.

i think that anbuis looks like quetz brad.
I think he's trying to say that they will release Anubis as the year 1 WBBA handout, and that Quetz won't.

EDIT: I don't
Yeah I'm definitely not getting rid of my Quetz now.
Seriously reconsidering painting mine as soon as I get it now...
Looks like this'll be the only Quetz I'll have.
aww No Pre-HWS in US ...Too bad Tongue_out

No Metal system anywhere it seems.
I wish i knew the date that the blades would be sold in the US Unhappy
All we know is that it's probaly going to be fall but maybe spring
Fall 2010.

And since they will be released during the first month of spring in Canada, it would not be far-fetched to expect them in the United States for the first month of autumn, which is usually September.
September to October is reasonable. They would want to build up hype for Black Friday.
YES we Canadians FINALLY get something before the us. I can't wait.
Whoa cyberloard, That was just..Unnecessary Chocked_2

Well, Kinda bad news For the US.But least shipping wont cost as much
Ugh, that's pretty depressing. I was sooo looking forward to buying a bunch of MFB next month, but since they aren't releasing the pre-HWS anyway, I probably wouldn't have gotten much Tongue_out. Atleast the release will be close to my birthday now, so I will be able to afford some now. I like how cheap they are, though.
This seriously sucks, I so wanted to get a pisces badly.
Well this sucks if it was spring i could get alot for my birthday and i probaly spend all my money by then Unhappy Unhappy Unhappy

Well... we were scared about the names. They seem confusing to me now and ill probably be sticking with MFB names. But they arent too bad though.
I wonder if they're going to stick with the whole "WD145WB"-style naming scheme, or is this too complicated ...

I doubt it. They will just call it "Storm Pegasis", "Rock Leone", etc and leave off the 105RF, 145WB... If anything, they'll put the part names somewhere on the side of the box, or on the back of it. All the numbers and letters would probably be too complicated, and a lot of kids probably wouldn't care about them anyway.
I still think they are going to put the whole thing with the letters and numbers
Come on, give hasbro some credit. I think they will keep the naming

Its not like every hasbro employee is stupid

It's not about thinking they're dumb; it's about whether or not they think it will confuse kids. I wouldn't blame them for removing it.
