General Hasbro BEYBLADE:Metal Fury/Shogun Steel/Beyblades Legends -FALL 2014 [HOBBY]
I wonder if they only started selling that shogun steel set in Canada, I live in detroit so I guess I could go over to Winsor after school, and see if its there! Lol
While it's surely the best hasbro stadium ever released (might finally be able to use a hasbro stadium for tourneys. WHOO!) since it's safe to assume they could have copied takara's zero g (since it's so similar) that really makes wonder why they didn't. It makes no obvious sense since if they copied they wouldn't have to pay to design that one and since that one is larger they it would cost less to manufacture. The ways of hasbro are mysterious or put in a more obvious way stupid since there's no obvious upside to designing a new stadium. If anyone has noticed takara didn't make anything to top the BB-10 and that's because they couldn't. It's the most balanced thing we will ever get from any generation and if they do a hiatus for and come back then takara will essentially release BB-10 again but possibly with minor changes. Hasbro clearly just ignored using BBG-03 stadium for what seems like no good reason.
They might have only done two pockets so that the boxes they come in could be smaller. That way they'd cost less to ship and would fit more easily on the shelves of stores. Someone measure the box and compare it to the other box sets, I'd wager they're close to the same size.
I wish the "Warrior Wheels" had been recoloured rather than the "Element Wheels", which we all know are useless.
Also, maybe I'm in the minority but I think both the recoloured Element Wheels and the stadium itself are atrocious haha. The chrome finish on the Element Wheels just doesn't look good to me; it seems cheap, and it reminds me of those homemade recolours you see people trying to sell on YJA sometimes. And as always, Hasbro has chosen to forgo the elegant simplicity of TAKARA-TOMY stadiums by plastering a design all over the stadium floor (but that was to be expected).
In any case, I am definitely looking forward to trying this stadium out at some point. Although, I'll probably end up modifying it in the way that Ingulit suggested if I end up purchasing one myself.
$44.99? That seems a bit expensive.
Also, I wonder why Zankye never comes to our tournaments in Toronto.

It's located at a place called Vaughan Mills near Toronto, and there are a bunch of sets!
Never picked one up, because I was originally looking for Hyperblades, and I didn't bring enough cash for the whole set, but yeah, they definitely have a bunch load of them!

Does the hasbro zero g stadium decal leave the color of the decal on the tip still

Most likely, usually most of the do, I don't see why this would be different.
Anyway, has anyone found single packs yet? I went to my Walmart yesterday (one I mentioned had early metal fury) and the shevles (besides two pakcs+XTS) were bare. I'm hoping this is a good sign, ie Shogun Steel.
Also (off topicish): I met some 13 year old there (Beyisle) and was talking to him about Beyblade and joining the WBO, so we may have a new member!
Looks nice but why do the exits have feet?

LOL that's one way to put it, haha!! The exits are pockets like other Hasbro stadiums, dunno if that's what you mean.
It is definitely a shame, because I only got a chance to buy 1 cheap Flash and RB. What I find even funnier, is the internet's price for Hasbro Hyperblades. Somehow US sellers expect to sell them for 15-30 bucks when the original TT Beys with stickers and accurate colors are there for 11. For my stores, Hyperblades had an extremely short run. They were in for a month and then there was no stock at all.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Hasbro's made them in such a way that they'll interfere with the sway.

The stone faces are weird looking. It looks like the stickers will barely stay on now.
Anyways, this whole time I thought the chrome wheels were pained, not the Chrystal wheels XD

i just found some hyperblades in my target. phantom orion flash sagitterrio kreis cygnus, diablo nemesis, and jade jupiter. i dont know how they got them in they must have been in the back. i thought they were discontinued.
My 2 local stores are completely barren except for some Beywheelz and XTS. It's a shame. I was hoping to pick up a Phantom Orion and Duo Ice-Titan without having to order them online.
My local walmart has L-Drago Destructor Hyperblades, Cosmic Pegasis Hyperblades, Variares Hyperblades, Diablo Nemesis Hyperblades, and Blitz Unicorno Hyperblades. Sadly, no Phantom Orion or Jade Jupiter Hyperblades.
I wonder if the stadium in the new shogun steel set will be legit for tournaments

Most likely not.
The pockets screw up the sway motion.

Whoa, the new Stone Faces might be good news for Genbull Genbull if they're lighter than the originals! I'm not sure I like the design just yet since it strays so far from the old bolt designs of the rest of MFB... I probably won't be able to judge until I hold one though. They're certainly interesting!
And yeah, I can see a few of the face designs resulting in some awkward stickers for these bolts lol

Can you elaborate on that Genbull Genbull suggestion ?

I was thinking something like Genbull Genbull SR200TB, IE a stamina custom. If the new face bolts are lighter (and not detrimentally non-aerodynamic), then they might be better for the custom.
I know the weight difference will probably be extremely miniscule, but every bit counts
It really isn't actually. Customizable metal faces were designed solely for stamina but no till now has ever bothered to mention it. The UK tourney goers have been aware of this fact for at least a year even if they've never understood why.
Goodness, Shogun Steel is popping up now? Christ, that was quick.
Yeah, not sold on this for $45. And I agree with Kei, the entire set, especially the recolors are... Blegh. Ugly.
I really hope the new face design stops face breakage a lot, breaking Zero-G faces was/still is a big problem for Zero-G. I don't see how they'll help here, but as long as it works, I'm good.
