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

@ dracogament: You mean Mercury Anubis, don't you? I think that Anubis is the only Bey to have a Brave Ver.

Still curious as to what Hasbro's gonna do with Mercury in their hands. Will they fiddle with the weight or leave it alone I wonder?
I wonder how they'll release Anubis. I have some feeling that it will get released with a DS game or in some "exclusive" way most limited edition Beys get released (with an exception of those Beys released in Starters in Metal Masters, but they were still mostly released via DS first, ex: Susanow, Horuseus, Gravity Stamina/Attack).

Then again, Anubis belongs to one of the main characters, and considering how much of the Hasbro line is driven by the anime, we might be able to expect seeing a Starter release, but only time will tell...
Maybe very late like Grand Capricorne. I know it's not primary but Hasbro's strategy is a fair bit different.
Saw this at a Walmart today, don't recall ever seeing it before:

Same. I saw two variations of the set: that and one that included Pegasus, Leone, and Destroyer.

Yeah, I saw that at Target. I was really bummed because I was hoping the different packaging was Metal Fury, but alas, it was an XTS product. I wish they could have given the set some cooler launchers or something, though I doubt they'll have trouble selling regardless.

My guess would be 10 gram weight reduction if they release it as a starter, no reduction if it's limited edition. Perhaps we could even see a 10 gram weight difference between the regular and Brave versions if they release both.

What was the original weight?
Um. Let's just get thus straight. Hasbro isn't going to strip down every metal wheel they release in Metal Fury.
Soaring Wing Pegasis Unboxing. Don't know if this has been posted yet, but:
Credit goes to sweetblad8r. He thinks it is the first on YouTube.
I also posted it in the "Beyblade Videos" thread.

Forbidden suggests otherwise.

We have a lot more evidence on our side than you have on yours. Up until now, we already have seven Metal Wheels that only appear in the third season that were completely hollowed out and lost up to ten grams. The other Metal Wheels that were also part of a previous release were left intact, but everything else was reduced.

Before you try to defend Hasbro, look at the statistics. Your current statement is completely wrong, and I do not know how you can pretend to predict that not all of the Metal Fury Metal Wheels will be hollowed out when, at the moment, all those that were released have been ... There is nothing at all supporting your claim.
Okay whatever, make this out to be whatever you want. Don't give a carp.
You are actually constantly trying to defend Hasbro, and it is obvious by your comments ...

Mercury has not been released yet by Hasbro. That is what I meant : Spiral had already been released, so it was left intact; Vulcan too; we do not really have news about Nightmare, but I think it was released with that video game too, no ?

Not in the west it didn't.

Vulcan Horuseus, Gravity Destroyer Gold Stamina Ver. and Nightmare Rex where all released with various store exclusive versions of the beyblade DS game, none of which made it to europe.
I guess that means my "Genocide" wheel will remain intact.
Correct, it was released with the video game. Also, any thoughts about the video? Also, Syncrystal, you probably don't want to argue with Kai-V, especially on a fact that is obvious.
yeah it did but 4D was like close behind it o-o o-o o-o 0-0 0-0 0-0
I wasn't intending to argue and now let's drop this.

New skepticism: How are some Beywheelz more soft than others? Soaring Pegasus is incredibly flexible moreso than the other ones I've seen unboxed.
@GB: Sorry but I'm only really interested in Beywheelz for the launchers and the parts that could potentially inspire cool real bey parts (R-Drago for example) and SWP has none of the latter and the former is the same on all wheelz.

From what little I watched, you seem to have done a good video, it's just a shame that it's not got more interesting subject matter.
What is it about the Beywheelz launchers that everyone seems to be excited about? I remember seeing one unboxing where the unboxer was all "Oh man this is an awesome launcher" without giving actual reasons why.
Must be that psychological effect of "It's looks cool so it must be cool".

Everyone is hoping that they will be more powerful than a LL2. It's possible, but I dunno. You DO need a strong launcher to spin that huge rubber disk I'd assume.
I think someone said the prongs are too wide?

Damn it, we need more comparison photos. Again....

Dang it, Hasbro. Uncertain

It's an LL2 type launcher that's got added fancy looks, a more interesting colour range and has been remodeled for easier angling. At the very least, if it fits with regular beys, it will be a much easier way to get hold of strong ripcord launchers.

I have no idea why anyone else cares though because most people prefer the string launcher.
