I work at one.
On top of that, the order in which hasbro is sending them to stores is completely random. There's no set "On the 29th, you will receive boxes of Earth Eagle and Lightning L Drago" or anything like that.
OK thanks, I kinda knew this but it was lingering in the back of my mind where I should visit more often. Is there still like a rough time of the year where the stores start selling more of a different kind of Bey? (if that makes sence) - Like in a 4 month period even.
Do you get any privileges for working in a toy store with Beyblades? Surely there are some.
Nothing special, just the typical 10% off that every employee gets.
Anyways, your best bet at getting the newest beys will be to go to what you think is the most popular store. If you know of any stores around you that sell out quickly, call them and ask what days they typically restock their toy section. if they say wednesdays, go wednesday afternoon/night, etc.
Whichever store is restocking the most will most likely have the newest stuff.
