Back in the days of Metal Fight, there was nothing I loved to use more than a string launcher/BeyLauncher. With Burst however, I've noticed these feelings beginning to change. As an owner of both the Hasbro Dual Threat L/R string launcher and the Takara Tomy L/R I can say that both of these launchers offer consistent and good launches with decent control. Also these launchers seem to be popular among the general Blader populous.  

But what about the SwitchStrike starter (SS) launcher? We get one with every SwitchStrike starter release, and I must say this launcher is heavily overlooked. After doing several comparison tests, I have found that I get both strong AND controlled launches that surpass the Hasbro Dual Threat in terms of power and control. This can especially be seen with performing a banking pattern with attack type drivers. The only launcher in my collection that is consistently stronger than the SS launcher is the Hasbro Sword Launcher. Keep in mind that I do not own the TT Sword or Digital Sword Launchers so I'm not sure how those would stack up against the SS launcher.As much as I love my TT L/R BeyLauncher and my Hasbro Sword Launcher, those two launchers have issues with launching two of my Beys, namely Spryzen Requiem S3 with the Hasbro Sword, and Luinor L3 with the TT BeyLauncher for some reason. On the other hand, my SS launchers don't have a problem with any Bey that I own. 


So what is the takeaway from this? I encourage all of you that don't have access to the "most powerful" launchers to give the SS launchers another look before spending more money. Just because they're inexpensive and common shouldn't devalue their potential in the right hands. personally I love how much stronger the SS launcher is than the Dual Threat or how well it matches up with the TT L/R Long Winder. In the end if you're: 1) On a budget, 2) dislike string launchers, 3) like using sliding shoot attack types, 4) don't own anything stronger...or all of the above, I recommend giving this strong little launcher some love. 

I love the effort you put in the Switch strike Launcher.

I did the math on the ultimate switch strike battle set and here are my results.

If you were to buy 6 switch strike beys plus a stadium: that would be around $68

The set is $80.
That is around a $12 diffrence

Your prices are not right--------------6 SST beys @ 12.99 each (lowest price) = $78 dollars +  stadium  $10.00 + $ value of the frames  ------> Over $90 Usd So >$79.99 is a good deal for great beys

Oh, I thought the pricing was the same as pre switchstrike. My mistake

Wait. They are operating at a loss then

My bet is that Hasbro will clock out their prices of a single SlingShock Energy Layer, Forge Disc and Performance Tip combo at $25AUD. The SlingShock launchers are gonna keeo costing $5AUD

Nah $30 au is too expensive for a bey. Hasbro has to be smart here

In Australia, they’re $25

This Slingshock thing is like if Hasbro packaged all the Metal Fury beys with Dome Tracks. To force all the beys to play into a gimmick in a stadium that will likely never see competitive gameplay wise is quite frankly disgusting. I hope that after the Burst series is over, TT revokes Hasbro's distribution rights and gives it to a company that cares about making a quality product.

There are two different modes, a “Battle Ring Mode” (Basically Normal Mode) and “Slingshock” mode for that stadium. They’re not completely converting just for that stadium.

check out my cousins channel

the name sling shock hasbro probably got inspired by the swing shock stadium name and how they sling right into the bey and burst the bey, hence slingshock

Hey I don't know if anyone has talked about it, but look at the starters on EE. More specifically the drivers in the picture at the top of the box. They all have the same shape...

Yeah, we saw. They're probably the new drivers. That or they spam the same driver but I doubt that.

No I don't plan on doing more yet.

I should probably go back to making fan custom Zero G beyblade concepts again

In the dual packs: gK, A2, and B2 all seem to have the same driver.

gZ has liner, and gZ, sT, and cR do not have any frames on.

Here are the official images for the Beyblade Burst Evolution Ultimate Tournament Collection set! The images are large so I put them in a spoiler;

The images come from the official Hasbro site. Thanks to FunWithTheBugs for finding them! :)

They are just lowering the margins. Also, are you talking about the Ultimate Contender set with the set of 6 silver and gold recolors?

I just got Spryzen Requiem S3 today. All I can say is,
This thing is broken, I’m glad it was banned
Not literally broken, just insanely powerful

It is? Dang...

you know the slingshock gimmick that everyone might be upset about think of it this way slomg shock might be the solution to the slopes on the energy layer from hasbro and the slingshock mode on the driver moght be able to burst the opponents beyblade more kinda like the takara tomy version but without the teeth

Quad Ring Combat Pack, Colossus Stadium and Battle Tower Set are in store at SOME Toyworld shops in Australia
