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

It was Toys R Us, not Walmart. Just edited my post.

Draciel516 said he bought all three but he doesn't have an official stadium to test the F230 in.

ZGRB3 Orange F230, or Orange Takara F230 should still be okay, but it is most definitely an annoying distinction, and something that will be complicated for the newbies (If that happens, I'd suggest we also make sure to edit all references to orange F230's up to this point with a note saying this was before hasbro's release and only refers to the takara version, so newcomers aren't confused, but then that's a lot of work).
For me, the bigger worry, if it is the same color but performs poorly is the implication that something other than color is at play in the prize beyblade's F230 working better than the other in the random booster (and I guess also Hasbro's F230), and if that were intentional, well, it would be a pretty mean move on Takara Tomy's part.

Beywheelz with Snow Treads, launch em till they melt all the snow or whatever. Or did you not buy into that fantastic line?
Hey now. At least Wheelz are 10x better than Warriorz Wink

I don't know much about how visible the differences are, but someone should nudge TheBlackDragon or someone else who does to see if there's any way to tell without that (presumably also without access to an orange or brown takara f230).

I refuse to acknowledge the presence of that line within the beyblade franchise. Serious
(Wheelz were pretty neat though, I just never bought any and I don't thiiiink Dark did either but I'm not 100% on that).
Awwwwww yeeeeeeeeea!! It sure took them awhile, haha! I'll see if my Toys-R-Us got in a shipment once the south thaws out Grin

I'm crossing my fingers on the F230 being at least somewhat decent! I know the odds of it being good aren't phenomenal, but one can hope, haha

Nope never got into that.

And Id be fine with calling it "Takara Orange F230". Pretty simple and to the point, which is what newbies will be interested in.
You're welcome guys Wink haha I got all 3 and dang, dat f230 is far superior to the red one from the two pack. Don't know about tt quality since I've never used the tt one but dang. Gonna get another genbu and zirago

EDIT: I forgot how awesome mint r2f is

Would you mind posting a testing video somewhere, if possible?
It might be good to post a list of your stamina parts as I assume that is what would tell us how good that F230 is, if you wouldn't mind.

Nice finds, by the way Grin

Also 3 dragoons

Just think if its better the the Takara Orange F230.

IF the Hasbro Orange F230 is good we may want to renew talks on limiting the use of F230 in the Zero G meta.
hey guys gonna try and do (unofficial) tests tomorrow. I'll edit this post with the link later

A solo spin with F230CF/GCF might be good, I guess, seeing as no one else has given any advice. That way we might be able to see how long it spins on its side etc.
Wow, they're finally out.

This will be interesting. Part of me says it'll be more like Brown Performacne wise, but only testing will tell.

With a comparison with another F230 you seem to have, of course.

Wow, just saw this haha I love how it comes out a few days after I order 2 Random Booster vol. 3s.
I'll see if I can stop at a TRU today or tomorrow; got to get my hands on wave 3 as soon as it arrives!
GIRAGO'S OUT!! WHOOOO!!!

Moving on; NOOOOOO!!!! F230 WILL BE READILY AVAILABLE EVERYONE!!

There goes the game...

What you wanna do, is take Genbull Dragooon F230CF/GCF, and testing against Phantom SA156[Normal] EWD.

I'll post identical results over in the "why F230 breaks the game" tthread (post yours there too), and we'll compare results.

Fingers crossed it isn't actually better than an orange one...

EDIT: Dang, just realized you don't have a Takara stadium.

What Hasbro one do you have? Chances are have the same one. A stamina match in the same exact stadium should be comparable.
hey guys did a testing vid this morning, kind of crappy since I had just woken up but here it is nonetheless. I'll post whatever you guys want to in the next one, just pm me requests and I'll make one sometime this weekend LINK TO VIDEO

EDIT: I just put this on dropbox so it may take a while to upload
EDIT^2: Done in the beywarriorz octagon showdown stadium and I suck with this combo anyway so my tests are not the best to go on
Since the Attack viability level of the stadium doesn't matter in a spin-steal match, and (as far as I know) the slopes of the stadium aren't drastically different, opposite-spin Stamina results should still be reliable.

The video is not working for me. It says "This file is uploading."

So yah, it'd be great if you could post the results here just so we could see the numbers.

EDIT: Never mind, it's working now!!!

SUSPENSE!
I cannot watch it with sound right now : is the second F230 you spin with your finger at the beginning of the video TAKARA-TOMY's, or Hasbro's ?

Its Hasbro.
Ouch. Finger-spinning is not everything, but that looks bad. It stops really early.
Darn it, download didn't work.

How'd it do, Dark?

From waht I saw it did better then the Red F230 but not as well as a Takara Orange F230 would do. Id want more tests tho to be conclusive. Still way to early to say,.
YES!!

JUST SAW THE VIDEO!

IT'S COMPLETE AND UTTER CARP!!!!!! THANK YOU LORD!! THE WORLD IS SAVED!!!!!!!

... Whew! You guys have no idea how much of a relief that is for me.

Thanks so much Draciel! I'll be able to sleep tonight now...
