Especially when you know that the anime for Zero-G/Shogun Steel did not necessarily air everywhere and has stopped being broadcast for a while now.
So, put that on top of the fact Organized Play support was not sufficient enough, like for the first few seasons of Beyblade at the beginning of the 2000s as well.

Proof that Hasbro stopped caring, in my opinion. They stopped spending money to even advertise...
I have an idea... Petitions and crowd funding! :3 We could petition Hasbro (and/or Takara Tomy) to do a better job with Beyblade, and use crowd funding to get our funds. We get Beyblade, better than ever. They get more revenue. Win-Win! Grin

The money we would need would be in the thousands... Good idea, but can't be executed well. Beyblade is over and will (mostly likely) be revived in 2017. It's over, but we can still keep the spirit!
Well... as long as Hasbro and Tomy keep selling on Amazon, eBay, Target, etc., I can wait. In the meantime... LET IT RIP!
Well, Legends is being released/is released now, so it wouldn't be fair to say "it's over".

It's safe to say we will get an actual reboot/new series in a year or a few from TT, but there still are some things being released, even if they're rereleases.

Except, they're not from what I can tell. Once the current set of beyblades are sold, that's it.

There's been about 0 confirmation there won't be more Legends releases.

I'd certainly hope there would be, for that matter.
Yes, Hasbro hasn't confirmed it I believe, I hope there will be some Shogun Steel at my Walmart, I have 5 bucks and I'm ready to spend it. Grin

There's barely any shogun steel worth buying in Forth Worth. Most of the good ones were already taken T_T

Also, I have only found 1 legends bey here. I thought they were done producing them?

I don't think anyone has come to my town's Walmart for Beyblades, last time I went they had SO many Legends.

What town do you live in again? xD

I hate that I don't have my license yet, because my folks don't want to drive around to multiple places to buy beys, they just say "buy them online!". You don't understand! They are 75% off in stores! T_T
Why should I tell you?!?! You'll come here and take all my beys!

Just kidding, it's the Guelph Walmart Supercenter, but forreal leave the beys for me. I wish I could drive too, the Walmart is on the other side of town and my mom doesn't wanna drive me. ._.

Not really. In most cases, the only thing I've ever seen around that much off was a $3 BeyWarrior at TRU, haha.

Aside from the $5 Shogun Steel singles people talk about, everything else is pretty much regularly priced.
Amazon has a metric buttload of Beyblades. Same as eBay. Target is losing stock though.

TAM when you see all the Beyblades you could ever want or need, but have no money to get them... Q.Q I tried asking my parents, but they were all like "Wait for Christmas." 😥

Because other people who have previously purchased beyblades and doesn't want them or wants to make a profit are selling them on those sites.
At least you guys are getting some kind of deal. My Targets don't have any beys on sale at all to begin with. And I'm flooded with L Dragos from Legends.
Better Ldrago than nothing right?
Lightning L-Drago have a really good use as a attack type in Limited, and Meteo L-Drago is a great Spin Stealer.
Wait, wasn't Ldrago Destroy decent at attack as well?

I think it is banned in Limited and outclassed in Standard.

At least you have Legends at all. In the UK, we don't get squat...the only thing we get from Hasbro now is a punch in the stomach and a stab on the neck (and I don't really care for Nerf nor Transformers). They did this with the whole B-Daman Crossfire franchise and now they're doing it to Beyblade Legends...and no, I cannot order online and even if I could, why should I have to do something that is as painstakingly as ordering online?

Good for you...but ever considered that I don't (and I can't). Its alright for you because you have Legends and the UK doesn't!
Guys... it's begun... I went to the dollar tree, and they had beywheelz. Sure, they sucked, but still... they might start selling Beyblades.
Unfortunately, I do not find Zankye's news to be a big surprise. With the poor showing from Beywheelz, the glut of Shogun Steel product so many stores still have rotting on pegs in the US, and the flop of Beyraiderz, it would seem that retailers have substantially lost confidence in the brand. I know that my kids and I tapped-out when Hasbro kicked Beyblade to the curb in exchange for Beywheelz. Shogun Steel did nothing to recapture our interest. It wasn't until we saw the Beyblade Legends Hyperblades on pegs that we started paying attention again. Finding Takara Tomy stuff on Amazon really fanned the flame, and we've all been enjoying playing again. The fact that Legends will be a short-lived swansong is unfortunate, just as our interest began heating-up. Oh well.
