They do not create enough because they do not really consider it all that big of a toy line. I don't see the Beyblade site constantly updated, or even the facebook page. It's not that important in the big hasbro scheme of things

As opposed to which one of their bigger lines ? Hasbro does not seem like a company that really would do any of that. The Facebook page was started by Nelvana anyway.
I find it ironic and funny how Hasbro's shop website doesn't have the Metal Masters boosters available to buy and ToysRUS does. But the new grip is available to buy. Grin I think I'll buy it. Should I?

Compare the two sites' inventory. See a difference? They're the same company and have different inventory. Silly Hasbro. Tongue_out

ToyWiz Price: $34.99
Ridiculous. A bit much don't you think? I wonder what Takara's version of these RC tops will be? (BBC-01)

They are most likely two slightly different teams, that is the reason.

See Kai-V? Hasbros doesn't care enough to even update their own shop website about new Beyblade products, and its not because they haven't been released yet, obviously

Hasbro generally waits for the products to be released in most countries, no ? They have barely or not even reached Canada yet anyway, and Hasbro is seemingly based there.
well hasbro mite release beyluancher l/r but it mite look stupid or even be a ripcord

Nightwolf7919, I don't think you understand how capitalism works. Let me simplify things: the aim is to maximise profit. To do that, companies aim to make sure their supply of a product equals but doesn't exceed demand. By not having enough supply, hasbro lose potential profit. No sensible company would do this if they could avoid it. They can't just magic up factories or increase production speed, that takes time and a lot of money.

Frankly, if a product sells so well that a company as big as hasbro can't meet demand, they'd be mad to not consider it a major line. The fact that they spend money designing their own products only further supports this. It's rather uncommon on licensed lines where no design work needs to be done. You can note they started making their own stuff when beyblade took off (the time it takes to design and produce them was the reason it took a while after beyblade got big).

Your linking the website to that is less "obvious" and more "tenuous". Again, things take time, and hasbro's website is not the main avenue for selling beyblades.

Sometimes I wish I could live in your magical wonderland where companies can magically make everything perfect, but I have a thing I do called thinking about things before jumping to conclusions (you should try it some time).


Also, I'd consider an lr string launcher more likely than a left spin only one. It's a universal string launcher, and that is very marketable, unlike a launcher that only works with 2-3 beys.
wait who are u talking to?
I might actually use that grip, seeing as how I prefer the LL2 over the Beylauncher.
I would love the angle ball launcher. I will test the beyblaster if Hasbro ever sends it

I can't stop laughing at the "spinning compass ball" part on that grip. I mean, was angle compass so hard, especially considering it SAYS IT on the show; even the dubbed version!
I dig the grip.

Also I'm pretty sure Beyblade is the only toy line Hasbro is currently having trouble with. Nerf products are ALWAYS stocked, and I know for a fact that they sell. Play-doh is always stocked, heck I just saw the new play-doh products put out. Board games are well stocked.

Everything but beyblade is always well stocked. I'm sure it's becuase a lot of us, and kids, buy multiples.

I think the boosters may be a test by hasbro. Hopefully not needing the make the launchers will allow them to produce and ship beyblades quicker.

there was a video on Youtube of a kid unboxing and using it.
It is just another wind and shoot ull be wasting your money by buying,theres no need to test that carp
i think it will be a little better, looking at how you "c ock" it instead of wind it.

I meant "c ock" like you would c ock a gun, not, you know... The site auto changes it to "carp"

I'll believe it when I see it. Really don't think it'll happen.

Hahahah that's a laugh. Hasbro actually make something BETTER than TT. So what are you high on today? xD jk. The next wave of beys to hit the Walmart in Hot Springs Arkansas should contain Metal Masters beys, since they already have boosters, and some of the newer double packs. Still no Thunder Libra however. :\ I know all of the Legends beys have sucked and had no use except Night MAYBE, but I have high hopes for Thunder. I want to be one of the first to test it once I get my TT Atk. Eee

hahah wow, clearly you didnt know that hasbro used better quality materials than TT and also use the 2nd mold rather than the first to reduce probability of the parts breaking (earth mold, and h145? ( think thats what its called))

Is there proof that they use better materials? And the thing about the molds would've already been done by Takara Tomy anyway...

Buy a TT one? They're releasing it as a standalone soon.

Omega, yeah, and it lets kids buy more, cos they're cheaper. Puts them in impulse buy range for me. Plus, kids who have one launcher won't need any more, so it has the bonus effect of them needing to produce less starter packs.
Also, I suspect the launchers are the slowest part of the assembly line (due to requiring assembly) hence selling beys alone bypasses that holdup. It's actually great for everyone, really (unless they can't find a launcher)

Beyfan, Hasbro beys are slightly heavier, which means they perform better for most things. In the plastics days, they were also less prone to breakage. I am unsure if that's still the case, but a lot of people seem to think so. Either way, how would you expect us to test it fairly?
If only Hasbro could simply divulge what materials they use just like TAKARA-TOMY does on every package without exception.
It'd just be a slightly different ratio of the metals in the alloy, I'd think, anyway, and I doubt they'd list the percentages/composition.
Or did I miss sarcasm here. I'd check a box myself, but my Japanese is extremely limited.

Look at lord wolfblades response to that statement.
Same as yours.
That's all I'm gonna say.

Also Walmart is ALMOST out of stock of beys AGAIN. So that means a possible shipping of more soon.
Cmon kids buy more beys! Let Raigeko get his hands on a Galaxy Pegasus MWAHAHAHA

Hahaha, I don't think there is a way to test it for MFBs. That is why I found it extremely strange someone would claim that Hasbro makes their MFBs out of better materials.
