Hello everyone. 

Metal Fight Beyblade is over a decade old at this point. As time goes on we have seen prices for Beyblades, parts, and especially stadiums, rise. There are no Beyblades, parts, or stadiums being made for the series that we love anymore. This is a reality.

In order to play Metal Fight or any of its formats at a competitive level, you invariably need a high quality stadium. BB-10 is the absolute pinnacle for MFB, as we all know. It is also becoming increasingly rare and expensive. 

None of the other legal, illegal, or custom stadiums provide people with a BB-10-like experience, or manage come close. This is also a reality. 

I wanted to change that, so I undertook this "Summit" project.

Below you will find photos and video links to the Summit Stadium. I've played with the BB-10 for a long time and have owned many copies, so my experience and understanding of it is deeper than most. This stadium I've made is meant to give you the experience you would expect from a BB-10 without the BB-10's rarity.

The Summit, like anything, will never technically be an EXACT 1:1 experience.. That is physically impossible, even between two of the same "exact" stadium.. But it has certainly met my fairly high standards, so I suspect it will meet yours too!

I've chosen to make Summit not just close, but on a technical level, better than the BB-10 was. This is in part why there is a marking on the side of the stadium, as to never be confused with AliExpress or original BB-10 stadiums that are also found online in clear material.

How did the Summit improve upon a fan favourite? Simply put.. the BB-10's creation process and design featured a few inconsistencies that were never ironed out. The original BB-10 had inconsistent wall molding, shaping, and sizing. The original BB-10 had a slightly askew inner bowl. Things like that. The Summit stadium does not have these issues at a design or mold level. It also uses an eco-conscious plastic as opposed to the fairly 'dirty' PVC.

It is little things like that that give you an experience that distinguish it from anything else. Maybe you'll notice it. Maybe you won't. If you know, you know!

Here are measurements, followed by video links (I will consistently update them as time goes on)

Since I moved countries I had to sell my stadiums, if this is as you said and is at a fair price for me, it will be high on my list

This is definitely a brilliant idea! I still have my original BB -10 I got from the TT Galaxy Pegasus DX set and the stadium is still good as new! Now I'm thinking of purchasing this so that I can layer the Summit over my BB-10 for better durability and longevity. Are both stadiums molded the same size? I noticed that some tips like RF, XF, and MF don't grip to the tornado slope ridge very well like the BB-10. All in all, I'm very happy that someone brought light to BB-10s again! Smile
