IXRolloutIX: I don't have any reviews up currently, but I'm working on one right now (it's really hard to do in the environment I'm in, I've had several outtakes already). I have Crash and Super stuff, though I'm selling my Fighting Phoenix to Gaddiko as soon as I get back on here properly. Once I create a proper environment, I'll do some reviews.

Pfahaha, I'm not trying to take leadership at all; I'm just trying to keep the B-Daman community alive and give information when it comes xD

Though, I wonder if Rollout will apply stickers (Yes, I saw that video; I think I laughed way too hard)

Would you guys recommend getting CB-32 Starter Round = Tigare for someone starting B-Daman? I don't have any yet and I'm wondering what will be good to start out with. Thanks!

I recommend either getting Kreis=Raydra, Drive=Garuburn, or Rising=Dracyan . Round=Tigare is ok but the other ones are way better.
so whats the best and cheapest store/online seller for b-daman whether it be battle b-daman, crash b-daman, cross fight b-daman. i want to start collecting b-daman and i want to buy a few at once so some where with a lot is in stock would be nice as well

I would recommend stream=drazeros, the E-Charge might feel awkward, but after you get used to it, this guy is a kickass. I mean it has a smooth powerful shot with a nice stability. even, at my house currently only drive garuburn with canon arm can be equal to it.

It depends where you live in the world.
For Cross Fight B-Daman and Cross Fight B-Daman eS, I advise Dimsum2u and 88powerpig88. Though, I hear Tokyo-Hobby is also quite reasonable with prices, and reliable as well. IXRolloutIX uses Tokyo-Hobby, so if you need to ask questions about them, such as delivery time, he's the one to ask.

I still don't recommend that. Rising=Dracyan, Drive=Garuburn and Kreis=Raydra are all prominent B-Daman. Sonic=Dravise could be one to get, but the three mentioned are must-buys.
Just to let people who are interested and/or in the area know, I'm putting together a B-Daman event at Friendly Neighborhood Comics in Bellingham, Massachusetts. Anyone is welcome to attend.
i dont know if i should put this here but would anyone be willing to trade or sell me some b-daman?
i have a decent collection of mfb and i have yugioh and cardfight aswell

Good to know. Hey, perhaps you could have someone make some video footage of the event, and put it up on YouTube!
@T. L-Drago: If I can find someone who can do it, I will.
In any case, I actually found my first Drive Shot recently, and have been testing it on Cross Fight series B-Daman. I'm now trying to acquire other Strike Shots (still missing Metal Shot (Break Ogre), Spike Shot(Go Tiger), Split Shot (Strike Shot vol.4), Metal Spike Shot (Suiseiryu/Ryuseiryu) and Aurora Shot (Crash B-Daman 021). If anyone has any of these and would like to negotiate, please hit me up via PM. I'm especially interested in the Aurora Shot.
I'll post my official findings on the compatibility a bit later on.

I have an Impact Shot, Stealth Shot and Speed Shot. I don't have any of the ones you wanted, sorry.
@ MissKarat: When I got my Chrome Harrier, I got two Speed Shots.
@ BlackAce: Sweet

Alright, my Strike Shot test results are in.
First thing I should note, I don't have all the Strike Shots, but one of the conclusions I can make is that a good 65% of them aren't suited for certain games, Break Bomber being one of them. This stems from the light weight and general weak impact a lot of the ones I own seem to have.
The Speed and Stealth Shots are the worst offenders in this case, they mostly just bounced off the blocks for Break Bomber. However, in 1 Player/Turn-Based matches, it appears that Speed Shots have some degree of effectiveness against basic targets.
Drive Shots fare slightly better,though with the Cross Fight series being significantly more powerful than the Zero 2 series, the shot is rather uncontrollable. The normal Drive Shot was used for this test. If one can control it, it may be useful in certain situations where power isn't needed as heavily.
The Random Shot is a unique case in this test. Its heavier nature made it possible to make it work in some situations, like hitting multiple blocks in Break Bomber. Aside from this though, it's a mediocre shot.
The Impact Shot is, at least from my point of view, the most effective Strike Shot to use with a Cross Fight B-daman. The shot hits at a higher speed than a regular marble, but with the same power effect.
To summarize: Speed Shot/Stealth Shot is ineffective, Drive Shot has a small potential under the right circumstances, Random Shot has some use as a defensive/feint method, and Impact Shot is decent.
I will say though, these shots were made for Battle B-Daman, with a few carrying over to Crash. I'm not entirely surprised that they didn't work as effectively in this series, being that most of them only have real use in DHB battles. These test results are not conclusive however, as I lack some of the Strike Shots. If anyone with the shots I listed earlier have time to test with Cross Fight B-Daman, please do so, and post the results here.

I decided to take apart the emblems on Sonic=Dravise's arms and discovered that if you flip the piece that the emblem slides into(it's the little piece under the arm) , then it will greatly increase his emblem charge. I noticed when I was looking in the instructions that the emblem piece pictured is a different mold than the piece you actually get. The one pictured seems to be more square and doesn't have the little bit of plastic extending out (it's hard to explain this without pictures) The one that was released though has the piece of plastic that extends out and inhibits you from pushing the emblems in all the way. It seems they must have added the extra bit of plastic to make dravise's emblem charge to be less powerful..
BlackAce Just wondering what does the Impact Shot do in general and whats the gimmick, please explain as much as possible? Some people say it has a metal ball inside like Split Shot
@BladerPharmist: The Impact Shot is made of a similar material to the Speed Shot, but the inside isn't hollow (I don't know what's in it exactly) that makes it have the same impact as a normal marble, but faster.

So...No metal ball inside (What I mean is either having a gimmick where it's basically a hollow strike shot but with a small metal ball rattling inside of it which determine the power or the centre has a metal ball but covered with plastic and not hollow)
I like b daman, but is there anyway to have a judged "battle" like in the tv show (the one where everyone is small and fat)?

EDIT: It turns out this B-Daman's name is Cobalt Blaze. How do you like that?

What is this mysterious cobalt variation? I can't find info on it anywhere.
@ halisi: Its name is Cobalt Blaze, and is a Control-Type

Oh, and the Hasbro Stuff is all press release.
what is better the orange magazine or the wide magazine?pls reply ASAP if you can rollout answer also......thanks for cooperating
What about my question about the Impact shot?
I posted a pic on my site showing how to hold Torque=Bearga for a powershot, also uploaded a few pics of the broken Battle Phoenix and pics to help explain some of the problems with the Pi-system b-daman.
