Surely, this can't be better than beyblade!!

If this is all you have to contribute, please refrain from posting. Legitimate criticism is fine, just bashing the product isn't.

This product is A-OK

However I do note some flaws:

.The top parts are made of rubber, which is meant to protect people from hurting themselves when they pick it up
but it affected the gameplay a lot as it doesn't last very long in battles

.The gimmick, magnet control is good and all since you can control the top and have it go anywhere you wish
but I can easily take control of my opponents top and smash it on to the wall to win...seriously not a perfect
idea to make this gimmick and further more that it is difficult to retain control for a long period of time as
most of the time they get stuck to the finger magnet(or whatever you call it)and will slow the top a lot. Also
the opponent's finger will get in the way a lot.

.The launcher is electronised, to level the playing field since all will start with almost the same RPM. However
you need to change the batteries everytime they run out, not like beyblade launchers which you launcher them
manually. And sometimes, you need to give it a little tap for it to launch.

Other than that, I think the parts are made very well

Pretty sure that's against the rules. :\

Practice makes perfect. If you find something difficult, stick at it. The striker shouldn't be sticking to your finger, you must be holding the magnet too low.

I would hope that players would have enough respect not to sabotage the other players top, and if it did happen, hopefully they would be called out on it, and the round forfeited..

I'm finding that the weight of the ball bearing tops is causing them to be launched way earlier and with less RPM than the plastic tipped tops. Sometimes I have to totally bash my hand into the launcher just to get the plastic ones to release.

I think the design of these could have been improved if the launcher just consisted of some sort of clip that was released by the trigger. The magnets seem too inconsistent to me, I am frequently mislaunching.

It really is plugged by the magnet concept though.

Also, I had a friend round today, about my age and he was really interested by these, lol.

Woo!
Got Tsunami, Skullor and SuperCharge.

Only opened Tsunami so far, launched it a couple times, tried out the magnetic controller.
My only complaint at this point is that I wish there was something on the bottom of the launcher that would push the Striker off. I had some trouble a couple times with getting the top to launch after I revved it up a bit.

These definitely look cool up close.
I like the designs. Very colourful

Well, I guess I'll go and try these out some more. thanks again!

Edit: Found that 'punching' the air (by thrusting the launcher forward) works WAY better at making the top drop than smacking the top of the launcher. Now I really have no problems launching.

I wanted Skullor, lol.

I cannot believe I missed this ;-;

I wanted Skullor, lol.

Same, haha. But I got Tank which is pretty awesome so I'm fine. I still have yet to try them out properly as I have to find three batteries first.....this is quite a problem actually, well, I am disappointed that they rely on batteries. Hopefully they shall be worth it. On a positive note, as soon as my brother saw them he was intriguied, he said they looked cooler beyblades (I must admit I disagree but then, he is more the target market than I) and when I explained the concept he seemed quite impressed.

Wow, am I surprised how everyone got their samples so quickly. I haven't recieved mine yet.

sorry.... first i was going to make a thread about battle strikers and rant about it but know with everyones opinion they arent half that bad.

They're made out of rubber so that the battles are short. No one wants the Stamina Fests like we saw at HPTD. Because Stamina Fests don't sell tops.

Eee! Just saw the add for it on TV! It's distinctly Pokemon like the way he says "Go Dragonblaze!" lol. I guess you'll take them to Toys'R'Us and such as well as Sainsburys?

Oh, I haven't seen it yet, part from on the internet, lol. Really? I'll have to check it out at somepoint.

Thanks to Ellz for my Face :)

Just to let people know in the UK, Battle strikers are in Toys'R'Us right now and they are only £4.99, I saw them today. Thought I would just give you the heads up.

Edit: Lol, Argos as well but there is a lot more in Toys' R' Us.
