As you all know, I got Strike Cobra, but it has been kinda boring since I don't have any other B-Daman products. I'm pretty sure I'll be getting the Break Bomber Battlefield Set soon, but are there any other B-Daman you guys would recommend? I really like Thunder Leo, Twin = Dorazero, and Force = Dragren. Are any of those good or is there a better one out of those Three?
When's lighting Dracyan coming to stores?

What are you saying?

I'm saying that Hasbro refuse to release it over here in the UK yet, but it's not exactly a problem at all. It's not like they have to translate packaging from America so it's suitable over here; Hasbro rarely ever do anyway. And they treat us second-class. Like, they judge whether it'll be released over here by how well it sells in America. It was the same with Beyblade. Whether we get something is dependant on how much you buy it, rather on whether we're interested.

Simply put; Sells well in US, releases in UK. Sells bad in US, never reaches UK. We should be able to decide that ourselves in my opinion.

But that's so unfair for the UK (no one can deny that), why do we just get treated like that? If only what you said about it only being sold in the UK if it sells well in the US wasn't true. I really had hoped that B-Damans were going to be released early in the UK Unhappy

and it hasent even been out that long, just cause they don't sell like tickle-me-elmo did back in 1999 doesn't make it a failure
How come no one recommends the Spin core? In my tests, it has shown to best the Accele core in terms of power. Well, the Hasbro variations do, anyway.
Well, it's something with the thingies on the end of the core, forget what they're called, go so far out that it shoots too high in the Break Bomber.

Do you really think I want to wait for over 6 months for them to come out...NO! I can't be that patient for them to come out. Oh and don't say stuff like "Just order them" or "It's not the end of the world" firstly if I could order I would but I can't and secondly if you wanted B-Damans badly like I do you wouldn't want to wait so long.
Well unfortunately, we don't have a say in the matter. It's up to the company.
I find it really weird. I have 6 of hasbro's 1st wave of 8 B-daman ( Great job releasing 1/2 of the entire Cross-Fight B-daman toyline when you're barely into the 5th episode Hasbro. :\ ), and the quality depends on where you buy it. I bought a Torque/Thunder Bearga at Walmart, and it shoots like if I shot a regular marble, but when I buy it at Target, the hold parts are so stiff, I could break a thin glass by shooting at it. Is that a problem, since everything is in the right place? XD
According to the OP's rules we can't ask questions about the original b-daman series.
Basically I have a question about the old series and can someone tell me where I should post it? Thanks Smile
The opening post's rules are wrong. Since that was first posted, this has become a general B-Daman thread and you can talk about any iteration of B-Daman.

You mean Hold Parts?
Yeah I think so.


Are there any differences in One-Sided, Roll, Steer, and Stroke other than the triggers and the stroke rail on Stroke?


EDIT: And that one sided thing on Sharks.

I know for a fact that One-Sided comes with that weird finger-grip/rest attachment, as well.
Can someone build me a b-daman.I have strike cobra and strike avian, soon lightning drivise

One sided and Stroke have different hold parts if you look closely.
Ah, thank you, that's what I was wondering, since from pictures they looked exactly the same.
What if Hasbro releases Spike=Phoenix?
I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's my question about the old b-daman series.
Was Mega Diaboros ever released as a b-daman item? I do recall seeing a picture of what looked like an official takara box for it years back.
Was it ever released? Thanks!
Yes, it was released.

Oh wow thank's for that! Is it still in circulation? I really want this, is it ever on YJA, how rare/expensive is it nowdays?
Is there also a better way to search for it (product codes etc).
Such a nice design, thanks Mana Smile

Its near impossible to get, since Battle B-daman is an old series, and Diabros is a Takara Exclusive B-daman. You can see pics of it on a dead B-daman site, celestial trigger.

P.S. Mana, why don't you get some DHB Series B-daman? Theres a Helio Dagger on Amazon for $18.00, and Cobalt Sword on ebay. XD

P.S.S. Does anybody have any info on what/when will Wave 2 (Hasbro Cross Fight Wave) have?

Thunder Fin has a Spin Core and Lightning Dracyan has a Oneside core.

Dracyan's stickers remind me of Cobalt Blade.
