im in havant not far from southie
Awesome, I wasn't sure if I'd get much response but I'm still committed. I'm happy to travel but would have access to venues in a range of sizes depending on requirements in Southampton. If I can start to get some numbers together I will post about ideas as well as gathering suggestions etc. So stay tuned!
And thank you for your replySmile
Please host some kind of event, I’m from Weymouth and I’m travelling to London, closest events near me are too far East or West.
haha i regularly travel and often to southampton, bournemouth and weymouth im sure we could arrange something, coming through southie on 24th actually
I'd love to host an event. I am awaiting prices etc. From a local school who rent spaces for public use. My mum works there so I'm hoping for discount haha it just seems crazy nothing is this way! I'm in London on Saturday for an event so hoping to build some interest there too

My intention is to be focused on beyblade X as that is the latest, and now easiest generation to collect. But I'd certainly be open to variety of events if a regular community is established in the south!

Ey I love to it hear man! I loved generation 1 as a kid and am back with X in a big way! I wanna have events that are family friendly and for new and old players alike! The more the merrier in my opinion!

I'm really grateful and pleased by everyone's interest! I am compiling the general numbers that seem interested and hope to get some more solid information for everyone soon. At that point i will look create a group chat or something similarSmile

Hasbro and Takara are identical in quality (for now) which is great! Wave 2 for hasbro is about to start so more on the market. A lot of the stuff on the market right now is solid. I'd recommend Sword Dran starter pack and something like Arrow Wizard. They sell better launchers separately which are worth it. Or a string launcher in a bundle set. Japan2uk stock takara beys in the UK so also have a great selection there
Mostly x but one time i got gifted "burst beys" yea lanuchers were bad XD
i mainly collect plastics as they were what i grew up with but i did get the anniversary burst collections cos they remade the old ones and am getting the beyblade x remakes too just to start my x collection off lol
I should have some more information regarding venues/prices next week, but it's all looking good so far! I'm planning a basic tournament (with prizes) with a finals round (numbers will decide specifics) and ultimately kick start a new community in the south of England!

There’s a facebook group as well, so also worth making an event and posting about it on there when you’re ready. Do you really need to hire somewhere? No local gaming spaces or anything?

I don't know if anywhere would be free. I can certainly enquire into parks etc. But with the weather starting to turn, an indoor space just seemed better. Once I have a group together, everyone can say what they'd prefer or are vibing more Smile
jus found the beyblade x collab collection the marvel, star wars and transformers beys, are they any good ? the spiderman and venom double pack looks cool so does the optimus prime and megatron  il probs buy them all just to shelve but are they any good?
The collab blades are all remolds of current other available beys. I've personally not bought any myself so can't speak for there competitive quality or general performance. There's more videos cropping up on YouTube now they're starting to release

This link is for the UK bladers discord which I plan to use more actively for spreading the word. I have also created a group chat on WhatsApp so if anyone is interested in joining a chat for friendly beyblade chat and meeting plans, shoot me a message on here, or keep an eye out on discord!
I have a venue interested and can host meets very soon if the interest is there! Please DM for further info and so I can get a better idea on numbers. The more people that go, the cheaper it gets!
19th October! Mark your calenders! 12pm start at Board in the City southampton! Please dm so I can add your name to the attendees list. Great food and drink served on site and easy to find! Thanks everyone
