I'm really just at my wit's end with this.
I'm sure most of us here remember getting the news back in 2004. Beyblade will be going on an indefinite hiatus. The final releases, Shining God MS and Bloody Devil MS, were the very definition of underwhelming. And then, silence. Beyblades continued to circulate in North America for about a year after, but there was little reason to continue. The anime had ended, there were no tournaments, and most importers already had the tops that were being released. In the end, Hasbro neglected to release many major Beyblades, and it died off.
I'd disappeared from the internet around that time due to personal circumstances. In the interim, there were some half-hearted attempts to keep the community together, but until Beywiki/WBO they weren't very successful.
Then we continued to chat about Beyblade, but there was little we hadn't discussed. And then ...

We heard. We heard that a new Beyblade series was coming. Most of us never expected to see it happen, let alone after a mere four years. It was the best news the Beyblade community could've ever hoped for. And where are we now?
This board is full of whiners who can only compare MFB to the new series. I'm sick of it, like really sick of it. "ohhh i like plastics more, oh this new series is lame, why aren't they using the old characters, blahblahblah" Shut up. Seriously, just shut up. It's a miracle that Beyblade came back at all, and if all you can still talk about are Beyblades from over a decade ago I have to question how much you like Beyblade in the first place.
So, I'm asking all of the MFB-hating, drowning-in-nostalgia ingrates to just keep their mouths shut about it because nobody is interested in hearing how much you dislike the new series and how much better the (rather poorly designed) plastic series is. Let us enjoy the revival of our favourite game of all time in peace.
