The plastic part that attaches to the track has small notches on it. The actual rubber tip that comes in contact with the stadium is flat.
[Product] BB-28 Storm Pegasis 105RF
Am I the only one seeing a small dent in the centre of the RF?

The Beylauncher is stronger than HMS' Dual Shooter. It's awful and inefficient and stupid but it's still the strongest shooter we have right now.
And Aqua, I noticed this dent too. Could it be a smaller tip at the bottom?
It definately looks like that bottom has a notch protruding from it. It could be similar to that of Dragoon F. You know how that tip was for the base.
It could also be a little hole, like in the tip of Grip Change Base.
I hope so
Didn't even notice that before. I guess if it does have a tip then it'll be made of a stronger rubber? If it was a weak rubber then there'd really be no point in that......
Nooooooo.... There better not be a smaller tip in the middle. I want a wide RF. =/
But I see what you guys are seeing as well.

I also still see the possibility that the face in the picture actually is a metal face already. It could be a piece of metal embedded in the face still made out of plastic.
It wouldn't be such a good idea to make a face completely metal, anyways. The lower part of the face that is wound into the track could damage the track if it was entirely metal. So a metal weight embedded into the plastic face would make sense to me. The little lines wee see around the edges of the face could be the edges of the hole the metal piece is put in before covering it with plastic, not a sticker.

Anyone think Pegasis105RF is going to be better than StormPegasis105RF?
Comparing the shapes of the wheels, I'd say no. Storm Pegasis' metal wheel seems to have more of its weight on the outside, which would result in faster movement and more impact on the opposing Bey.

The reason we think it is a sticker is not only because of the edges, but because the difference in the glossiness of the material. You can see that it shines around the edges but is flat in the center. Compare this flatness to the other stickers on the blade and you will see what I mean.
I don't know why everyone thinks the metal face would damage the plastic threads. If the threads were going to give out, they'd give out with the same amount of force either way (or take more force if the face threads were weaker than the track threads). It's important to remember that these threads really don't absorb that much stress.
Also, I think if these blades had metal faces, we would know about it by now.
I think you guys are coming to way too many assumptions based off such a low quality picture.
It looks like that particular RF might have slight discoloration, or it could just be the fault of really bad photography.

As a matter of fact, Rubber Flat seems very ... Flat.

The picture does show that RF has a dent. I like the packaging although might not be good, as it may increase the price of P&P >.>
CARP! WHY STICKERS? Q_Q
on the other hand, I like the new packaging...

Sorry for talking so much about it.
I love the new packaging, boxes rule.

It also looks like they are right-spin blades, unless TAKARA-TOMY printing the green "R" icon on the boxes is just temporary because they have not sold a left launcher separately yet.
