General B-Daman Thread

Wow I'm out of touch with these releases.
Really? I'll have to try that then.

It isn't designed to push everything; it's designed to transmit the force through multiple objects and make the last one move. To summarise, if you have five blocks in a row, the fifth block will move far, but the other four won't. Of course, this does indeed make it pretty much useless.

If Thunder Bison was released, was there an official Wave 2 released, yet?

Everywhere I've gone, only Wave 1 has been available.

Hey Mana, any news about it being released in the UK
I'll phone up tomorrow and ask. It seems unreasonable that it wouldn't be in the UK, considering everywhere else in Europe has it.

Ah, I just saw Bison on Kmart.com.

What are those Hypersonic and Iron Blast B-damarbles it includes?

Thanks. But how does it make sense that ONLY the UK doesn't have the but most of Europe does?
finally picked up break bomber for 22 dollars, so now I can actually practice, really want dragren now

So have you asked yet?
He'll probably post when he does, give him some time.
I already replied to his message regarding it before that post anyway. Their phone line was engaged, so I've left them an email instead.

Anyway, in response to three posts up, that ugly colour.
Bah, looks like I got a side hobby... Anyways, I just got the Break Bomber set, and you know what: I need another kind of magazine. The wide one I got jams CONSTANTLY. Also, I think the Break Bomber set looks like a hyped up Connect 4.
So Australia has just got b-daman and im looking forward to getting mine this weekend. outside of Thunder Leo (my brother is getting that one for it's color scheme), Thunder Dracyan and Lightning Dravise (as i plan on getting the break bomber set after Christmas), which b-daman would you guys recommend. As a note i liked rapid fire when battle was out and i don't really want to buy any big set or ones with extra attachments.

also how good is the set with the spinning ring thing that you have to shoot at certain parts to knock out the marbles, i cant remember the name but i just saw it in stores for $20. edit: just found a review on it, its the Vertigo Spin Arena.
Got a reply. "There are currently no plans to bring B-Daman Crossfire to the United Kingdom".

So basically, it's never going to reach the UK, right? Every other country has it, but somehow we're being skipped like we're chopped liver.

Well if you like Rapid Fire, Rev Dravise is a good buy, though a magazine would be helpful.

The Vertigo Spin is ok, but the Break Bomber is, in my opinion, a better arena.

But that's extremely unfair and a little prejudice. I told you we won't get it but you said "it's possible they'd release it". Now I'll never get one thanks to their non sentical plan and I can't order and none of my friends will help and the only one I have is Helio Breaker and that broke so its 0% fair. How is it difficult to release it in the UK Unhappy
How are the sales for B-Daman right now ?

Due to the fact most countries but the UK and others have them, must be decently well. But what would I know Im just a British loser, right?

There is no reasonable reason for the United Kingdom not to bother with part of the series except if the sales are really way too low there to bother ... There could also be a case of some minor company filing a lawsuit against Hasbro UK for releasing a product similar to theirs, but that would be farfetched hah.

Huh, I guess I'll have to get over it now, not that I could get over it but I would only make myself feel worst if I keep becoming stressed. Looks like I'll never get one, ever!

Never give up !!
There are ebay and any online shop that provides b-daman products...
You see, big store in indonesia also haven't imported any b-daman products...
The only thing you can relay on is some credit cards or just transferred money via bank to somebody who can buy it for you from the online shop...
And now my b-daman collection is bigger even without stock from any big store in indonesia...
Thanks to online store....
Not everyone can use online shopping though. BladerPharmist is one of those people.

On a brighter note, the dub name of Cross Fight B-Daman eS has been revealed to be B-Daman Fireblast. Personally, I think it's a stupid name for the series considering only Kamon and Novu use any moves relating to fire, but oh well...

And could I use online? No so please read my previous posts, maybe your more fortunate but I'm not so yes I WILL give up, I am stuck at a dud.
Sorry for asking, but do Hasbro B-Damarbles work with any Takara magazines?
Yes, they do.
I recently bought two B-Daman single packs because ShinobuXD recommended them for me, and I was wondering : is the "rapid-fire type" anything special, or do all magazines (?) shoot at the same speed?
