General Hasbro BEYBLADE:Metal Fury/Shogun Steel/Beyblades Legends -FALL 2014 [HOBBY]

American toy markets absolutely do not work on a "this just appeared in the show so now we're releasing it" way at all. I cannot, off hand, think of any manufacturers that staggered releases except for perhaps Bandai, with Power Rangers merchandise - and I am not even sure if they do that anymore.

American toy markets are okay with toys selling themselves, in most cases, whereas in Japan promotion is what does the work. Different worlds!
OK, so that was in reply to the "before the season even gets broadcasted" part; what about the part on releasing the ten new Beyblades of a season all at once, leaving nothing for later ?
They obviously use that time to release more products - recolors, part re-releases, and their gimmick lines.

I am personally happier with more merchandise rather than less.
Off-Topic...sort of: get out Those 2 kids on the packaging need to get a life and stop appearing on every Hasbro Stadium Packaging Set.

They also need to close their mouth for once. It's not healthy.

On Topic: I don't understand why Hasbro added slope to only one side of the Halfpipe stadium. Once the beys go down, how the heck are they gonna get back up? It's gonna be a "Who's gonna spin the longest" competition each round >.>
Stealth Battlers Info:
Apperently on the Hell Kerbecs or as hasbro names it "Kerbecs Blade Blast" The Part where the BD145 is supposed to be is replacd by a metal piece. The bey has 3 switches that when is hit, releases the blades. The bey is not cuztomizable but the face fits on to a tool. Hell Kerbecs's Stealth Battler's tip is a DS.

I hope this info is helpful.

Bonus: I have it Smile
Hm, so this thing may not produce any useful parts as some were speculating. Smile
Still, I like it! Joyful_2
@Nuzumaki- Well, I love their anime-like stadiums, where anything is possible... Tongue_out
The Beyblade...STEALTH BATTLERS!
OMG SO AWESOME DJ - Yeah!
I personally get a bit annoyed when kids like these spam videos on youtube with bad quality. DrigerGT is awesome though. On the other hand, those stealth battlers don't look too fun.
Quick Google search led me to the other two:
Pegasus Jumper
Tempo Hammer Hit
Kerbecs Blade Blast

hylianfreak - same here since I'm a film student. It's annoying when they think they understand how a camera/camcorder works and then put an object one or two inches away from the camera, especially since the lens will not be able to focus on it. They have to give it room in order for it to focus and work properly. Also, these kids should learn about something called white balancing, which won't give them that orangish tint in the room when they film. Most cameras should have different choices for that such as outdoor, indoor, incandescent, etc. They shouldn't rush those videos anyways.
Thats a lot of things to learn o.o Sorry for the quality. I was in sorta a rush.

Must have family/friends who work for Hasbro. That or they playtest for Hasbro themselves.


... Yeah, I doubt that second theory too.
I highly doubt that, BlackWingAngel.
Its available for "Buy It Now" instead of "Pre-Order" atm.
At the same time, even if its not released, we at least know of those since a LONG time. So, he really should read the post above him... :\
Sorry guys i should have read above

I have a stupid question do you have a estimation on when 4D system will come out in the us just a stupid question
IMO, around Spring sonce Hasbro releases products early before the actual anime season is done. But I still wouldn't count on it.
Metal MAsters ends in the US during the middle of Summer. Since Hasbro likes to show off previews and sneak peaks and what not, instead of just releasing the new beys 2 weeks after Metal Masters ends like other smart toy companies, you can probably expect the new beys in August or October.

That's my guess though so don't take it as a fact.
Ginga dosen't have the other wings on his headband, on the Kerbecs Blade Blast packaging. Uncertain
Great find Phantomcellistf!

I guess you're saying that the Stealth Battlers are in a test market at the moment.
Hey, in the video, there may be a striker/leone stealth battler..


Before impact After impact The two seperate pieces
So, kind of like a Phantom Fox idea? Cool; I like the concept of it. Smile
In terms of design, the Kerbecs one would be my favorite, though. I'm kind of starting to like these Stealth Battlers.
PHANTOM FOX
'TIS ALIVE!
I thought I was slightly interested in Tornado Battlers.
Screw them, these Stealth Battlers seem very... interesting.
These gimmick products actually seem like things I will really buy... +1 Hasbro, +1.
Something tells me they beat Takara at something. If 4D ever see's a ridiculous gimmick first.

Ahem;

I look forward to Metal Fury, truly excited for some reason.

Agree 100%.
I was a bit disappointed after watching that Hell Kerbecs VS. a Hell Kerbecs Stealth Battler as it lost balance almost instantly. Unhappy
But gimmick beys are meant for fun(and not competition) anyways!
