I don't think Hasbro as learned anything....they're still doing electronic tops XC !

Hasbro creating electronic tops wasn't the route of the problem when Beyblade originally died.

In my opinion they are just losing money in the end by releasing those tops that people cannot even use in tournaments ... I suppose though, that if they never do tournaments, or not in months, then it does not really matter, but it is seriously an odd choice.

I know that I saw that apparently electronics were among the best-selling/most popular in toys, but they could have still done something else ... According to John from Toywiz, Beyblade is their only and best-selling toyline, apparently Transformers is not even doing well and it is TAKARA-TOMY's other most popular toyline with Beyblade.

"completely re-imagining and reinventing" lol

Uhh, electronic/RC Beyblades have been done before so I don't know what that dude is talking about.

I assume that he meant the depth of where they're going with the electronic tops. Last time they just kind of dipped their feet in the water with it, as they only released four of the RCs. And that, (someone can correct me if I'm wrong) was a domestic version of a Takara product that used Radio Frequency to transmit signals. This appears to use Infrared, and is developed by Hasbro.

It's not exactly the biggest re-invention of the brand, but with spinning tops there are only so many things you can do.

I mentioned this a long time ago. Making these electronic tops, and non-essential Beyblade gear has a very big advantage, it limits the toy space given to other brands from other companies. Beyblade, for better or worse, competes more so with Bakugan than the other brands in Hasbro's catalog. Hasbro may not necessairly think that Dark Wolf Electronic Beyblades are going to fly off the shelves, but if the rest of the brand does well it prevents that shelf space from being occupied by someone else. It also allows for Hasbro to aim the products at different age brackets. The lights and sounds Beyblades seem to be for the younger demographic (see the "Go Bots" line in the Transformers: Dark of the Moon toyline), a demographic that would've been ignored entirely by the main toyline.

Transformers has generated more than $2 billion in income in the past 2 years for Hasbro... It is by far Hasbro's largest franchise. Takara Tomy does a lot of things to the franchise that limits its appeal to children, to the point where they created products not appropiate for the franchise's main audience. A major thing to remember is that toys are generally bought at retailers, and by that I mean physical retailers. Online toy purchases are generally the domain of collectors (I said generally) looking for specific items. Transformers fans have the luxury of having tonnes of sites who put up product for sale within a short period of time. As a member of this fandom, I can say that Toywiz is one of the less used stores (the go to is generally Big Bad Toy Store).

On youtube check tris something something channel. It shows the beyblade metal masters. You get to control ur beys sometimes but not all the time. They made like a digital power launcher look a like. All it does is how fast your bey goes. And the stadium are kind of the old beyblades. But they actually did a good job making so many equipment and beys. Can't wait until it comes out in the uk. But thanks for the info Kai-v

We posted the video awhile back man, so get up to speed. I also think your post is spam, but that could just be me thinking that.

No Beylauncher LR. Or not realising it at al.

They pretty much have to release it, as it is in the anime.

Heard some people say they were finding Ray Unicorno and Galaxy Pegasus in stores already. Someone was saying they'd be released in fall on some youtube video(which would be absolutely awful). Going to Wal-Mart today to see if I can find some myself!

I am very doubtful that they found any of the season two Beyblades already, made by Hasbro.

Hasbro has 95% of releasing gravity Perseus. And they will make a LR launcher except different style
Feb. 16, 2011  6:13 PM
 
Maybe hasbro has different release dates for different countries. Metal fusion came out in canada two seasons earlier than usa right?
Feb. 16, 2011  6:18 PM
 
Didn't u see about this thread at the beginning of this thread. Kai-v told us wen it's going to be released
Feb. 16, 2011  6:29 PM

No it didn't. If that were true, either they would be a season ahead of japan or they would have the season and wait 2 years before metal masters

when i say season, i'm talking about summer fall winter spring. canada = spring, usa = fall.

The worst bey Ive seen was the rock Pegasus in that dual pack it made me sick
Feb. 16, 2011  11:32 PM

No matter what happens. Gravity Perseus will be released. No doubt at all. Just not possibly with a BeyLauncher LR
Feb. 17, 2011  12:41 AM
 
If they release it with a Light Launcher LR, I will be so mad.

Most Likely With Normal Left And Right Launchers.
Or,It May Come In a "Limited Edition Pack"
Kids Will Buy Gravity Perseus More Than Any Other Bey If It Was Released With Beylauncher L/R As a Normal Booster In The U.S.
Same Thing With Lightning L-Drago. If It Came With The Left-Spin String Launcher.
Kids Will See That Product To Be Better Than Others.(Since It Automatically Comes With a String Launcher,While Others Do Not)
