Apple was hacked about two weeks ago, so they've put a pause on releasing apps. They're slowly working through the backlog, but I'd expect you'll see it appear in a week or so. If you have an Android device, it's on Google Play now though.

Yes, there are good parts and bad parts, however, unlike beyblade, there isn't a set way to test, so it's hard to come up with a top tier list.
Could you name a few?

I think the only Hybrid cores are Drive, Across and Round (Supreme).

And there are ways to test parts and creating a tier list is entirely possible. It just hasn't actually taken place yet. I can instantly tell you though that Rising, Spike, Break and Accele are top for Attack. Gatling, Sonic and Mach are top for Rapid-Fire. Kreis, Assault, Slot and Stroke are top for Control/Precision.

I don't have an android device. XD Well, I'll keep an update when it comes.
On a Side note, on the wikipedia page, it read that hasbro released Blaster Core Battle B-daman, but I can't find any pictures on Google. Is this true?
So I found some B-Daman at my Kmart, wasn't able to pick any up though
They had every single pack, but nothing else, so you could tell they were just starting to set it up. But, I noticed that on the Hasbro boxes, and only SOME of them, they show the TT stickers, or their prototype stickers, rather than the ones included on the actual toy. I believe one of the boxes like this was "Lightning Scorpio"

Do you have all those b-daman?



I went to Walmart today and they had some. Which of the hasbro ones are best for holding?

for holding, strike avian and thunder bearga have some of the best arms in terms of holding a b-daman however,thunder bearga's power is quite underwhelming and avian's shots tend to stay in the air longer and bounce when they hit the ground, so you could miss the target entirely, that isn't to say they are bad but something to keep in mind

I would watch these to help decide
As stated above really. Personally, I'd just stick with Thunder Dracyan or Lightning Scorpio.

News for UK B-Shots: Turns out CrossFire lands here on September 1st. I phoned Hasbro and asked and that was the date I was given. Annoying, but I should've expected it.
I'm new to B-Daman. I was wondering how much a Sonic=Dravise is?Smile
Thanks Axel Phantom, I watched the videos.

It looked to me in the store that Bearga and Scorpio would be good for holding.

Based on the reviews, it sounds like Avian, Bearga, and Scorpio are good for holding, but which one out of those have the best grip?

I can always switch a good core into a b-daman that holds well...

... but it looks like the cores are screwed on for hasbro?... so can you switch them or not?
Yes, you can switch cores.

And I still recommend Scorpio. It's decent, can be fired with one hand and is comfortable.

To add on to Mana, when they said screwed on, they meant the back-part of it, that usually has to be manually attached to TT B-Daman

In which currency?
Scorpio, or Mach=Sasword for holding?
I guess Mach=Sasword would be easier to hold, but it's definitely harder to obtain.

The Bdamanbattles.com site works, but the Registration always has an error.
It's been up since August 1st. My registration worked first time.

A few of us at the Forums have concluded that the game works best in Google Chrome. There are minor glitches in Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer, some of which deem the game unplayable.
Really? I tried it on Chrome, and thats where the registration errors happened.

US Dollars, pounds, yen, gil, credits, gold coins whatever kind of money your country uses

I would say most takara-tomy single b-daman packs(having one b-daman and nothing else) are roughly 20-25 US dollars
One B-Daman, one B-Dama, a tool and instructions, you mean Tongue_out

No exactly, Axel. You can get them a lot cheaper than that if you look in the right place, hint hint.

The official price is usually between 787 and 1050 yen, so you're looking at... US$15?

Ok so where can I find a Sonic=Dravise?Smile
eBay or amazon is where I would look.

Ok thanks😀 I found one on Leoshop.com for $9.42😃

Okay, so this is some sad news now.

Starting October 6th, a new anime takes the entire B-Daman/Beast Saga timeslot, titled "Ace of Diamond". Right now, there are no plans announced for either show to be moving to another timeslot, so we may have to prepare for the worst; as far as information goes September 29th, 2013 will be the last episode of B-Daman on Japanese broadcast.

Sadly, I can see the franchise ending. With the recent shuffling of releases, and them cancelling all releases in August, not telling anything about September...all the signs are there guys.

It's quite upsetting news as the franchise was promising and had a lot to offer, but it looks like it's reached the end of it's run after only two years. Queue the Hasbro spin-offs that make us want to hate the series.

EDIT: Just to confirm about "Ace of Diamond" as well;
EDIT 2: Takara-Tomy have revealed production will cease in two months time as well. Honestly, I didn't really see this coming; I honestly thought we'd have one more year of it.
Aw Shucks! And there I thought the next series would have a Strike Shot thingy only that they rename them as Special B-Damas (terrible name I know) but that's an idea that would have been awesome.

How much in US dollars would they be if you bought them in Japan?

Does dimsum2u sell them the cheapest?
