*sighs* Alright time to give my two cents on the line up.
Helios and Hyperion I'm totally fine with, they are the remaining main character beys and deserve some kind of tribute, and given that Lucifer is apparently gonna be a thing, it would've been weird not to have them. I really can't think of what Hyperion would have as a DB core gimmick (maybe metal?), but I predict Helios DB core will be a left version of Valkyrie/Dragon.
The new stadium set does not interest me unfortunately. I understand the purpose of it, as it gives a newly available stadium purpose for newcomers, and honestly locking a new bey behind it would've sucked. Even still, it's a wasted slot and I don't care about Belial.
Okay... so I might get a lot of flack for this, but I do not want another Spriggan, not unless it was an entirely new system, which this isn't. I know they wanted an Ultimate counterpart to Valkyrie, but we don't need another Spriggan. I like Spriggan, but Astral Spriggan was perfectly fine IMO, and I really don't think it needs burst stoppers to become yet another annoyingly OP layer (not confirmed, obviously). It's hogging up a slot that could've been used for a new or rarely used motif. I'm one of those people who wants that kind of stuff so it affects me more than it should. I get it, it's popular and they wanted to milk it dry, but I'd sooner have a Fenrir follow up than another DB system Valkyrie, Spriggan, Fafnir, Longinus, Ragnaruk.
For Lucifer, I heard about this one since yesterday which is why I figured the Asahi bros beys would be there too, and in the months I predicted it'd be in. I'm fine with Lucifer since Lucifer doesn't have a BU evolution yet, I'm interested to see what gimmicks they do and I am hoping we get an easier to obtain MBDr. The core is likely going to be a metal version of Kerbeus' core.
EDIT: Forgot to give my thoughts on a possible Knight release. While I'm not that crazy over Knight, it is a very nice surprise that we're getting a less common motif and it left me thinking we'd get more surprises. Like I said, I'd rather anything new, I just hope we get a yellow recolour since I love Garuda.

No I don't plan on doing more yet.
I should probably go back to making fan custom Zero G beyblade concepts again
