My son got a Burst Bey for Christmas from his cousin, and that has started us down the rabbit hole that is Beyblade X...

In order to let him play with it, I bought my own Burst Bey, and one of the bucket stadiums online. Being an impatient person, while I waited for the order to arrive, I popped into my local Target, and discovered a small selection of Hasbro Beyblade X boxes.

Thinking of the joy he would have, I bought a few starters and some boosters, and brought them home. That was about December 27th. Since then our collection has grown into a dozen beys, all of the X generation. My son has fallen in love with Sword Dran and Arrow Wizard, while I've gravitated towards Soar Phoenix and Horn Rhino.

We still only have the Speed Storm bucket stadium, and while that limits our learning to exclude the X-celerator Rail system, we have focused on learning combos, launch techniques, and the details of the beys we own.

His are:
Sword Dran 3-60 Flat
Arrow Wizard 4-80 Ball
Claw Leon 5-60 Point
Tail Viper 3-80 Needle
Savage Bear 3-60 Spike
Roar Tyranno 9-60 Gear Flat

Mine are:
Soar Phoenix 9-60 Gear Flat
Horn Rhino 3-80 Spike
Steel Samurai 4-80 Taper
Talon Ptera 3-80 Ball
Gale Wyvern 5-80 Gear Ball 
Keel Shark 3-60 Low Flat

When we test our beys in the bucket stadium, we do count a bey being knocked out of the stadium as points equal to an X-treme Finish.

This was our combos and results from yesterday's round of battles. We only went to a certain number of points, due to the short attention span of my son. I welcome any advice or feedback on combos to try or ones we have already tried. While I'd like to be competitive at some point, the lack of the proper stadium limits our testing at the moment.

First up was all six of our beys with stock parts, each was to 4 points.
