Hasbro added a bunch of new products to their site:

2-Packs:
Thunder Jaku Vs. Strike Dracyan
Lightning Diles Vs. Strike Dravise

Accessory Packs:
Thunder Avian w/ Tornado Magazine
Strike Bearga w/ True Aim Gauge



I think Hasbro may have screwed up on Dracyan. It clearly shows it with an Accele core.

Who is stronger Accele=Dracyan or Rising=Dracyan in terms of power?
Apr. 11, 2014  1:11 PM
 
Rising Dracyan is more powerful.

I ought to be looking around for that Dragren. One of these days...
I ordered Mach Garuda and the Canon Drive=Garuburn DX set a few days ago. They should be here in a week or two. Buzztoy2007 (BuzzToyShop) has one left in stock on eBay for $9.99 plus $6.99 shipping. I'd suggest getting it if you are interested.

What Dragren are you mentioning Force or Assault?
Apr. 17, 2014  3:06 AM
 
Force Dragren, the only one released by hasbro...

Sad news for UK B-Shots; the toyline will not be released in the United Kingdom.

The way they've worded it is peculiar. Use of the word "discontinued" suggests that it was released. However, I've done my research and asked around, the toyline was never released in the UK. "Cancelled" is a more appropriate term for this case.

So are the episodes of the first CFB anime only 12 minutes each, or was only half of it dubbed in the US? Just want to make sure I'm not skipping 26 episodes lol

In Japan the episodes were the same length as Beyblade 4D so they were both about half a normal episode. When they got dubbed in English CFB and Beyblade 4D both would take a whole time slot because they put two episodes together. For example Episode 1 and Episode 2 in Japan would be episode 1 in the US.

Gotcha! I figured that was the case, but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

Wow, I'm really surprised by this, actually. I mean, considering how badly B-Daman did over here, and the fact that all we got were wave 1's, this is weird. But hey, hopefully B-Daman can make a comeback.

I'm actually really excited for this now that I've finally finished the first season. Honestly, it's the only children's anime that I enjoyed as much as MFB. I'd ask why the main character doesn't appear to be Riki, but I guess it would be better to wait & see :p
Jun. 14, 2014  10:17 PM
 
Yah, it takes place some time after Crossfire and while Rikki is still in it, he's not the main character.

Here's to hoping that Hasbro does more for this franchise.
Jun. 15, 2014  3:39 AM
 
Definitely. Their previous lack of advertising, special edition B-Daman, events or even demonstrations, and more were pretty disappointing. Here's hoping they put more effort into it.

Kids aren't really interested in stuff like this.
I saw kids in a store look at B-Daman and slowly walk away (seen multiple times) to the beyblades, with tons of them.
Unlike Beyblade, the demand isn't really there. It's basically a crappy hollow chested limited movement action figure, with a hard to learn game. Beyblade gives you 3 things, and it's simple.

Actually, in Japan, B-Daman has been around since the 90's. It's done generally well there. In the West, not so much, for the reasons Dual stated.

The gameplay isn't too hard- basically hitting an object with the projectile. The figures are different in just about each series, with different levels of detail, etc.- so before you really make broad statements like that, look at it from all angles. Tongue_out

Hmmm...I think both reasons are valid for why it isn't popular. It didn't get enough promo at all, so obviously kids will be less likely to buy it because they don't know what it is, but the other problem is that there really is very little customization. Sure, you can change parts to make it more comfortable, but the core is all that matters. There's less to do with it than Beyblade because changing the arms, legs, head, etc. takes a while and doesn't make an obvious difference. If it does get more promo for the second season, kids will be more likely to buy it, but I have a feeling they'll still get tired of it pretty quickly.

Actually, there are many arm, head, and leg parts that enhance a B-Daman. The reason I stopped playing was the tediousness of it all. Take Break Bomber for example.
1. Set it up.
2. Battle.
3. Periodically stop battling to get runaway marbles or bricks.
4. Depending on how you play, you may or may not remove bricks and bombs from the arena.
5. Clean it all up.

With beyblade, all it is is:
1. Launch.
2. Watch.
3. Pick up beyblade.

That too. It's fun, but all those marbles roll away after you shoot & then I'm scrambling to grab them before they roll under a couch or get stuck in any cracks.

There's no mess with Beyblades though. (Except for my desk cx) I'm gonna lose a marble for likely then a tip.
And you have to take skill into launches; sliding shoot; etc..

A few marbles will be lost easily by older kids and especially young kids.
Parents won't buy a B-Daman as easily as a Beyblade. Why? Because a kid will die from getting a marble in his throat. The most damage a Beyblade will do is poke out a eye via ripcord...or ripcord lashes. (Winders keep whipping my nipples ): ) A marble represents a gum ball the kid probably has seen/had before. So there's a good reason why it won't sell. They could sell some cores and they only difference is how pretty it is on a shelf.

beyblades can be dangerous. Don't you read the hasbro caution notes??? Lol jk. But beyblades aren't really the safest toys even, especially the plastic gen.

My hand has become a huge tumor thanks to Dragoon G.
Jk, but a choking hazard is worse.
A scratch doesn't hurt as bad as NO AIR ;-;.
