Okay, so for my English class, I have to write a letter to someone, asking for them to do something, so I naturally thought, "Hey, I read that Peagasus Thunder Whip thread, I might as well write to Hasbro!" I have a near-final copy, but I wanted some advice from actual Beybladers, not a writing coach. Would people please comment on it?

Dear Mr. Goldner:
I am an eighth grader and an avid fan of your Beyblade toys. The near-endless combinations provide both an engaging cognitive workout, as well as the ability to create your own unique style. This allows for hundreds of thousands of possible scenarios, all of which are exciting in the Beystadiums that your company produces. However, there are several problems with your items that could be changed. If changed, then the income which you will receive would far outrank the petty amount it would cost to change the products.
The ripcords that you include along with your Beyblades are shorter than the Takara-Tomy versions, so, when faced against each other, the Hasbro ripcords have a disadvantage, and this discrepancy irks the older, more serious customers. Also, with the shortened ripcords, the Beyblades do not gain as much power when they are launched. This can lead to shorter battles, which are not as entertaining.
Another difference between Hasbro and Takara-Tomy are the stadiums. The Takara-Tomy stadiums have three large gaps in them, allowing for easier Knock Outs by Attack Type Beyblades. In the current Hasbro stadiums, the Beyblades have great difficulty knocking each other into the pockets, which are barely wide enough to accommodate one Beyblade entering. This causes the battles to become drawn out battles of stamina, which Attack types will surely lose. Also, in your Super Vortex Stadium, there are no openings at all. I assume this is to create a gladiator-style match, but it just creates either one-sided battles, or battles of stamina.
Smaller openings not-withstanding, there is another problem with your stadiums, and that is the paint used to color them. This is another area where Hasbro differs from Takara-Tomy. It may not seem like a problem at first, but the paint comes off of the stadium and attaches itself to the Performance Tips of the Beyblades. This can change the way it moves and affect the spin velocity, too. Also, in the cases of your higher-grip Performance Tips, they catch on the paint, causing the Beyblade to almost certainly lose.
Furthermore, your stadiums are not wide enough to perform the Sliding Shoot. This means that your Attack types will just circle the edge of the stadium, wasting all of their stamina, and then one weak hit from any type will defeat it.
I have one more thing to add. The slope of your stadium is too flat to allow Attack Types to gain speed and inflict more serious damage (not to the Beyblade, just add some oomph to the attack). In battles between Thermal Pisces DF145SD and Quetzalcoatl 90RF (an amazing Takara-Tomy Attack type), Thermal Pisces (which is an adequate Beyblade) defeated Quetzalcoatl every time. The same thing happened against Storm Pegasus 100RF and against Lightning L-Drago CH145RF at the 145 height. The same thing can be said for every stadium.
Granted, if the stadiums did have openings, the Beyblades might fly out and harm some of the children who sit by and watch, so the pockets are a good idea for them. However, on the World Beyblade Organization, a website dedicated to Beyblade where I get the majority of my information, a member whose username is Toatanu, had an idea for a stadium that would fit the more serious customers’ needs, and also still have pockets so the Beyblades would not fly out and hurt users.
New Hasbro stadium idea (with good bowl in center of course):
The idea is that the "catcher" area is like a pocket, so that the stadium is like a Takara Tomy stadium with the tall/safety wall on the outside.
Above is Toatanu’s idea, and he should be accredited for the design.
If you could please consider creating stadiums with larger gaps in the sides, deeper slopes, and include longer ripcords with your Beyblade products, that would be ideal. You would generate more income, and we, your customers, would be happier with the items we have purchased. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
