We should form a Blader Union and demand better lol. Not really, there's much more pressing things to union on. Hasbro is gonna mess over the consumer regardless of protests because the kids will keep asking for them and the parents will keep buying them. I just hope they don't ruin the entire hobby.
Nah, but we should seriously seize the means of production, and overthrow Hasbro.
No offense, but hasbro doesn't care about this community. This is a toyline, not a game. It will never be marketed as a game in the west because hasbro owns 2 of the 3 most recognizable tabletop games in the world, they make pleny of game money off of that, and probably won't gamble on new stuff much after duel masters/kaijudo both flopped.
I'm sorry to be harsh or anything, but all the people complaing, saying "what was hasbro thinking?!", are asking poor questions. Hasbro doesn't care about a "meta" or anything, these are toys, plain and simple. They aren't ripping people off, the product quality is probably similar enough that it won't make much of a difference. Again, these are toys, as long as they don't break super fast, they'll make a truckload off of the kids that enjoy the anime.
If you want to try and make a difference though, make some content, more than just videos, this site needs written content too. As well as including hasbro's twitter when things are tweeted out. They have people paying attention to social media, you just need to get their attention. It might not do much, but it might still get their attention, and things could change farther down the line. A product launch is the perfect time to get their attention too.
Sorry, I'm just sick of people fraking out over small changes and acting like hasbro shot their dog, when it's not even that big a deal, just deal with it and have fun with the beyblades, that's why your here in the first place.
