But, I can see a connexion. If Hasbro is actually starting to become a lot like TT, by releasing boosters, tattooed faces, etc. A Metal Face is the very next thing you can expect from Hasbro, coz if they do lurk around WBO, they might have realized that MF is a really important part, and if they release it, its gonna be a BIG sale, resulting in HUGE profit!

Beyblade is supposedly marketed to little kids below the age of 12. If you're a kid that young, you will stray away from a Beyblade with a name that long and hard to pronounce

It is a totally different accessory. Something that Hasbro might not think is needed. I'd have to say, they should be focussing on releasing a left beylauncher before something like a metal face.

Metal faces won't lead to huge sales...unless the promote the carp out of it and show/tell kids why they are better then the plastic facebolt that comes with the bey.

It would take a decent amount of promotional work...would Hasbro actually go to the trouble of doing it? I'd say no. Not many kids out there would see a metal face and think that it'd improve their bey's performance. So they'd have to do some good promo work.

Honestly, I don't see Hasbro branching out and giving us all the extra stuff that Takara Tomy already offers us.

NightWolf-Ah, I forgot that. Still, I think Hasbro might have thought of a better name. At least Basalt is easy to pronounce, you know. Well, forget it. Btw, I just checked back on Toywiz, and I feel so HAPPY by looking at the price! I'd actually love to purchase those beys, especially when their price was actually reduced by a considerable margin. I'd miss the Snipe Launcher, though. Still, we may actually pray, and expect some good quality products from Hasbro. I hope they can improve something instead of degrading. The bey I look forward to the most, is of course, Twisted Tempo. I also think how will the Metal Masters anime be like.... Would they rename Faust's special moves-

Spiral Death Wall---> Twisted Death Wall
Spiral Dimension---> Twisted Dimension

BeyFan- True. I'll also say that kids focus on the looks a lot. Even I, do take a bey's looks seriously. According to me, and many other kids, MF will actually make the bey look uglier.... Provided Hasbro manage to do something...

No you wouldn't... I'd stay away from something that sounded stupid like "Twisted Tempo".

Horogium isn't hard to say, and there are plenty better options than "TWISTUD TEMPOZZZ" to replace it.

You need to stop using IE (Internet Explorer) it causes double posts here on the WBO. I'd suggest FF (Firefox)
Thank you for the info. I'm using it as I type. Anyway, I kinda like the name Rock Zurafa. The rest of the names kinda disappoint me. But I'm surprised that they're keeping Byxis Byxis, and not giving it the actual constellation name. I can't wait to see season two's anime and toy line VERY soon. Lucky Australians! (For the toy, not sure when they see the anime)

Excuse me, how old are you? Hopefully you're not 8, like Beyblades are supposedly marketed towards. It's a little hard for us "mature" people to think like an eight year old. How are we to know what they think is "cool" or uncool to them. I'm just saying, whether the name Twisted Tempo is bad or not, Basalt Horogium is quite a mouthful, and frankly most of the 8-10 year old population cannot pronounce, or care to pronounce, something like that
May. 28, 2011  3:00 PM
 
Just what I meant to say.
Hey, wait a minute, I think they use the word- Horologium, instead of Horogium. That's the reason, why they think its tough to pronounce. Their post proves it.
Btw, that's actually the main reason to hate the name. Basalt Horogium still related to a clock(Horogium is Latin for clock), which actually let us know the constellation. I wonder if there is a 'Tempo' constellation represented by a musical note! Tongue_out

NightWolf7919, I'm 19, almost 20. At this age, though, I do know a lot of kids (and beyblade is 7-13 or thereabouts), because a lot of family/family friends have kids, and I'm at the right age to be able to be a "cool older friend" kinda figure to a few of them.
Also, I've done a bit of child psych for this psych degree I'm doing. So, would I have sufficient knowledge to work out what kids will think is "totally lame", oh exalted one?

Basalt Ho-Ro-Gi-um. Okay, Horogium is a few syllables, but Zuraffa isn't exactly a simple word, is it? Nor Herculeo. Twisted Tempo is largely unrelated to "Basalt Horogium" as a name, and it sounds bloody ridiculous.

well its just that horologium is the hard part i have not met one person who can say the name correct that is not from japan and im 14 and from brazil so some things will be hard to say for me ( even if i have been liveing in america for 11 years )
May. 28, 2011  3:23 PM
 
It's Horogium, not horologium, guys.
May. 28, 2011  3:26 PM
 
Dear Latios300000,
It seems like you haven't read the post above yours. If not, do read it.
If Horogium is Ho-ro-ji-um
then Horologium(as you prefer to call it) is Ho-ro-lo-ji-um

Dude, I am from India, and what country you live in, doesn't matter. Dunno what will happen to you people when you pronounce Quetzalcoatl.

Heh, those prices are cheap! Even for ToyWiz! But I'm going to just try to get them from my local stores instead of buying them for $4-5 dollars more. It'll make it all the better if they are sold in boosters.

I still don't get how no one found Thunder Libra yet...
May. 28, 2011  5:38 PM
 
Has it even been released? I don't think it has...as you'd see it all over eBay if it was already out there.
May. 28, 2011  5:42 PM
 
I'm pretty sure it's on Toywiz

that's a pre-order. it isn't in stock yet.
May. 28, 2011  5:45 PM
 
Unless they get released in the next few days...Toywiz won't be shipping any in May XD

Poor TheBigCats, this is gonna ruin his day

Has anyone seen how much Metal Spike costs from toywiz? Yep, metal spike, probably the worst tip in beyblade?

19.99 USD

You may now commence LOL'ing.
May. 28, 2011  5:53 PM
 
I think that Q is the worst, but it can sometimes get lucky KOs.

All the kids want it, just because it's made of metal and it has 6(?) Stars in Stamina. Heck, when my friend got Burn "Fireblaze", he said, "I just got it for the tip."

My Face When I read that (Click to View)
Meh, kinda off topic here, but MS is worse, as you said, Q gets random KO's, MS gets...... dents in your stadium when used on M145/A Heavy bey. Uncertain
May. 28, 2011  6:07 PM
 
Has anyone seen the boosters in stores? If so, how much do they cost, USD please
May. 28, 2011  6:09 PM
 
Looks like toywiz got some new metal masters in stock
