[Product]  BG-04 Random Layer Collection Vol. 4

It's possible that this design was originally intended to be Trident (like how the original MFB Quetzalcoatl was actually a design for Cancer).
They definitely did not reinforce Xcalibur hahah. Already a break.

Looks like it's pretty good for conventional attack but too easy to burst to make much use of it.

Seeing all these breaks lately is kind of turning me off from investing in more BB Burst products =/


I know these are just plastic toys in a sense but if you launch them properly they should be able to take a good beating. Like 100 - 300 games?

Iunno.
The vast majority of Xcalibur Layers have never broken. I do think TT could do more to prevent breaks and there are some serious engineering oversights in the Dual Layer series, but I don't think Xcalibur particularly has an issue.

It's a shame since if you were in Japan getting replacements for broken parts would be trivial.
Yeah, sometimes these are just isolated cases in a sense ... I've used my Xcalibur Layers hundreds of times, as have other people I know in the Toronto community and I haven't heard of any of us breaking one. But any Layer could break just because of the nature of the game.
Thanks guys, that info actually gives me a better perspective.

Brad, yeah if we were in Japan we could just contact TT and get sent replacement parts through the product warranty for free?
OK but it is ending up happening to a lot more people than I thought hah:

It is always that damn piece on the top that seems to be completely useless, what the hell?


However, one good news: either people are not playing with them, or there really have not been any breaks of Exceed Evil-eye, Quad Quetzalcoatl and Driger S so far hahah.
Screw syndrome strikes again.
I am glad to hear nothing about Driger S :'D

Ah damn, you're right.. But I wonder why it's happening seemingly-more often now than before, since it is the same mold.

It might also have to do with the plastic it's made from. Pearly plastics are usually pretty weak thanks to the mixture that gives them the pearly appearance. Maybe the specific mixture that's used to make that silver is weaker than the one used to make the traditional gold?

The only other answer that I could come up with is they might have changed the actual screws when they introduced Dual Layers, and they're messing with the structural integrity of the design.
Apparently some Layer BeyCodes did not work for this person, so they had to return them to TAKARA-TOMY A.R.T.S. and they thankfully received replacements with functional codes to scan: https://twitter.com/kobekko_tomoki/statu...01857?s=09
For some reason, there are many full sets still available on Rakuten Global, if anybody is interested. From what I remember, previous volumes sold out very quickly.
Im not surprised in the slightest that exceed has already broken...
We did not notice, as far as I remember, but the protrusions are slightly sharper on this Wild Wyvern than on the original:

They are exactly the same, check the opposite side.1 side is sharp and the other side is round
I do not know, it seems to show the same side:

The official combo so far is Exceed Evileye Gravity Atomic.
