Beyblade Random Thoughts

So, just because I seem to remember people always wanting more "RPM", there will probably not be any considerably faster launcher made by TAKARA-TOMY, from what I understand.
Awww thats a shame, Atleast theres the new Hasbro launcher coming out that may give us more "RPM"
There are many auctions on YJA which advertise modified Beylaunchers, and I saw a Gravity Perseus set with one going for about 3900Y.
We're going to have to start checking string lengths at tournaments...
It was something we'd never really bothered to do before, as this wasn't exactly a widely considered modification.
If it's gotten to the point where Takara-Tomy are actually putting out a message about it, and they're now readily available on YJA we'll have to consider it further as well.
Maybe they want the strings as long as they are in the show?

bb18libra actually did this.

Gah, I want to do more testing, but I'm wary of wearing out all of my bottoms before the High Park tournament. =/
This would probably be classed as speculation so I'll post it here:

Does anyone else think Meteo L drago might come with the beylauncher LR? I think it might, since it's a a main character's bey, and it would be a bit of a waste to release the beylauncher LR with only one beyblade.

Unlikely.
If Meteo L Drago is multi-directional, then it will probably be called Meteo LR Drago, haha.
I hope it's a newly designed BeylaucherL, not the old one.
Ah, what a shame.

@Okiblader: What do you mean by newly designed? As in completely new, or just a new look?

BeyLauncher LR? There are beyblades that can spin either direction like the HMS blades?

Yes.
At the moment, Gravity Perseus is the only pair (of Clear Wheel and Metal Wheel) that can spin both directions.
I wanted to make a video of MF Lightning LDrago CH120 (Track height:145)RF VS. MF Earth Aquario GB145WB, but it really makes me angry, continuously 4 draws. I immediately gave up at that time...=_='''

Just a new look, I have no clue how they would make a new design (as in mechanism) for it.
Black would be nice Smile

ah soz for posting wrong place lol
In the new Bakushin DS game, I think, there will be a new special Beyblade : Big Mac 320YEN hahah.

(320 or something like that, hah.)

Again, I do not know if I can post the picture, however Miingno will send me the scans eventually anyway.
320? o.O
320!!! No way thats true
It is essentially just a Big Mac with no spinning top shape at all, hah.
