Anyone else thinking of what Hasbro might rename this into?
I'd think personally it could stay Burst, but who knows, haha.

If they changed Ray Unicorno to Ray Striker, they could indeed change the name to something more 'explosive', but in and of itself, "Beyblade Burst" is definitely a Hasbro style of brand name.That's what I was thinking. I get that the tops are bursting open, but the word "burst" itself wouldn't normally have the same effect on a Western kid as "crash" or "explosion." I would definitely expect a name chance for clarity and marketing purposes.

One month ahead of their official release date, TAKARA-TOMY will sell the following products from this new series:
- B-00 Event Exclusive BeyStadium Standard Type (1,620 yen)
- B-01 DX Starter Valkyrie Wing Accele (2,375 yen)
- B-02 DX Starter Spriggan Spread Fusion (2,375 yen)
- B-03 Starter Ragnaruk Heavy Survive (1,295 yen)
- B-04 Starter Kerbeus Central Defense (1,295 yen)
- B-09 Beyblade BeyStadium Standard Type (1,620 yen)
This list at least confirms names and prices.
Even if we will start seeing them from June 27th, chances are that these items will be grossly overpriced until they are officially released in mid-July, since they will only have been available in a limited quantity. Still, perhaps there will be a few courageous buyers among us, hah.
Also, finally the return of Beyblade in World Hobby Fairs, after almost three years!

I wouldn't say an extra $2 is grossly overpriced, considering we're getting them a month earlier than expected. While I personally will probably pass on Burst for now until the prices go down in mid-July, I don't think most people would find the price increase unreasonable.
