Okay, so I'm pretty sure there are some threads out there talking about differences between the 2 and what not, but that's not really what this is about.

My problem is a bit more ... spread out (probably not the best of terms to use here but whatever).
In general I don't think it really matters whether you prefer hasbro or takara tomy. I personally don't mind either of them.
Again this is not the problem. 
The biggest problem is that they don't go together. While often parts do fit with each other, not only is it not allowed rule-wise (apparently), it also either strengthens the beys locking system (which is good) but sometimes does the completely opposite. Since one has teeth the other has slopes.
So I want to pick just one brand to go with.

Here are some of the issues I have with the brands.
Over here they sell hasbro beyblade (accessories) but we're insanely behind. We've pretty much just started with BBBurst god/switchstrike, however we haven't even gotten all the beys from BBBurst aka the 2-line (V2, C2, L2, etc). For some beys that's actually a positive since we can then get them for a "cheaper" price. Example of this is Wyvron W3 which I saw hanging around +30$ (some time ago) and we got it for not even 15$.
But then again, if you're really looking forward for a bey, it's possible that you'll have to wait for ages. Example of that is any super Z bey.
Also while I do (in a way) prefer hasbro's beys, they offer little to no customization for launchers and lets be honest their stadiums are awful :(

Then we have TT which is so different.
Starting off with better boxes (except for super Z, bL, wL and such come in awful boxes). While not directly visible what you're buying, the boxes themselves have become quite the collectors piece for me. 
Then we have the stickers which is something I really don't like. In general or better said on average the colors for TT beys are definitely better, more crisp, etc, the stickers on the other hand make it bit frustrating. If you put them up all right there's a possibility of losing them while blading or them just dropping off from age alone.
With TT you can also follow up releases really well but it takes a while (after you purchase it) to arrive ... not to mention possibility of losing it in the mail, custom fees, etc.
And since we here sell hasbro, it's a bit hard getting rid of unwanted parts/beys since the hasbro launchers don't work with TT beys that well, if at all.


So far I've been using L2 (hasbro) and nothing else. Every bey I've bought so far has been from TT since they actually have the beys I want. Problem is I'm a collector first and a blader second. So I don't use any of the beys or parts for several reasons. Damage is the biggest reason, obviously.
I don't like to constantly buy 2 of the same beys ... at least not in a short period of time.
Even if I would, there's a chance I don't like using the bey ... prime example here is bL (luckily he suffered no damages from the few battles that I did with him). 
I like the longinus-line but they're not really that amazing to use imo. So if I would've bought 2 bL's, it would be incredible hard to sell the second one.
Even tho it comes with a launcher... a launcher that's too small for even a toddler to hold -_-

I've thought of using TT beys just for collecting purposes and going with Hasbro for actual play but then we go back to how far behind we are on releases.
I for one am really looking forward to get gF but if I have to wait for the hasbro release to get here, I'm looking at probably another 2 years.
Again, we've just started with Switchstrike and we've seen V3, W3, F3, R3 and that's about it. We got L2, Z2 and a few other burst beys after the first wave for switchstrike.
The 2nd wave is either just in stores or coming soon which is D3, L3 ... and cognite I think. 
We also haven't seen any of the customization sets like TT has, idk if hasbro even has any like these. I've seen one recently with a stadium, idk if these are with standard beys or custom vers. of those beys tho. But again, probably something that won't hit the stores here until a good few years from now :/

I do only play against my little brothers so having 1 or 2 beys to actually use would be fine but I like variety. It gets boring fast if you make 1 good bey and it always results in the same way. L2 is no match for the custom wyvron my lil bro is using.

I think the TT Beys are overall better than the Hasbro Beys due to not wearing down as much, but Hasbro is cheaper for Americans. Choose whichever brand, but TT is probably a bit better if you don't care about prices being elevated due to shipping cost and initial rarity. A few tips: Hasbro's Fafnir F3 (normal colors) is actualy really rare. If you have a chance to get it, I'd advise you to do so and wait for a month or two without opening it or damaging the packaging too much, so you can sell it at a good price. The other thing is that L3 is Nightmare Luinor (a Wave 4 Bey) but I'm guessing that you're talking about Legend Spryzen S3, since it's in Wave two.

the only thing bad about TT beys are the costs (2-3x) and patience required for shipping  

TT designed a complex and balanced game, then they design beys to fit within that game

anything that deviates from TT’s design is suboptimal

the trend for hasbro beyblade burst adaptations has been bad, further this slingshock nonsense is some sorry attempt at turning beyblade into glorified hot wheels “action sets”, rather than a strategic game for everyone.

Haha I personally would not go with Hasbro either...unless your a collecter...But you want anime accurate beys so why get Hasbro?
@[RedPanda2] has the right idea. Just get TT

That's an interesting way of saying 'beyblades are fun'

I like it

Beyblade Burst is cool, I once made a continuation of MFB, but I stopped, but now I've restarted (Then stopped again). Geist Fafnir is also pretty cool

Hi neoshai, the usual TT vs. Hasbro debate aside.....going by what you said, I think you should get TT. It sounds like that's what you really want.

You seem to really not want to wait, and if that's the case, get TT. If you didn't care about waiting, then the choice is less important (unless you intend to be involved in standard format Burst tournaments, then TT has the advantage for sure due to having the latest).

Even if you did get Hasbro, I would still recommend getting TT launchers and Standard Type stadium.

This post wasn't about Hasbro vs TT. Both have their positives and both have their negatives. While it's true that TT in general has more positives over Hasbro, the fact that it's "harder" to get can overflow all positives it has.

And even tho I had no intention to put this out, playing-wise hasbro is above TT. Slopes are a better locking mechanism and won't get damaged over time due to use. TT on the other hands, using teeth, can get wear over time and make them, when damaged, unusable.

Well, my post is about “hasbro vs. TT”, and like all posts in all threads, it’s intended for everyone who might open the thread based on being interested in the thread title (which does indicate “hasbro vs. TT”, fwiw) rather than just the original poster.

there are a few things wrong in your post above

1) hasbro beys can be just as hard to get as TT beys.  if current trends hold, hasbro does not produce enough beyblades to meet supply.  yes there are plenty of single layer dual packs laying disorganized on the shelf at target to be fished through, but the odds are the hasbro beys you actually want will be sold out everywhere for weeks or months.  this is why “beyhunting” youtube videos exist, there is great uncertainty as far as what will actually be on the shelf (at least in the US), if anything.  

further, i fail to understand your logic about TT bey accessibility “overflowing” any positives TT offers.  we are talking about TT beys that are released 6 months before hasbro has even mentioned them.  paying $25 and waiting 10 days for a TT bey is not a comparable experience to waiting 6 months for hasbro to potentially release an altered low end version of that same bey.  

2) the slopes vs teeth comments you made are totally false.  slopes wear down, if you doubt that, you need to spend more time with them.  teeth do wear down as well.  but for both scenarios, the amount of wear is negligible.  yes there are folks on this board who choose to burn up their beys and launchers conducting tests for the benefit of others, yes these folks have wear issues for both brands.  but for the regular player, and certainly for the more advanced collector: the more beys you have, the less time you end up using each of them.  slope/tooth wear is not an actual problem.

who cares about teeth vs. slopes when the hasbro driver is grossly compromised? there are many examples, but look at hasbro bearing.  it’s not POM, it’s not even an actual bearing.  yes it has tighter slope, but it’s huge departure from the role TT designed the bearing driver to fill.

—-

finally, collectors are collectors and they are going to collect whatever pleases them.  but if you actually play the game, avoid hasbro, period.  let’s not misrepresent things, the hasbro system is inferior in every practical and competitive way.  if you own hasbro beys, stop buying more of them and switch to TT (i'd recommend b-115 as a starting point).  i want to apologize if this upsets any hasbro-only bladers, but someone needs to tell the truth.  this “both have positives and negatives, so everything is equal” talk is *total* nonsense.  being disingenuous to avoid conflict serves no one.  

hasbro vs. TT is not comparable any more than rapidity/TD vs. TT is comparable.

Look, fact of the matter is, both are fun. Their are some hasbro beys that destroy their TT counter parts (Lunior L3, Balkesh B3, etc) and obviously the same goes for TT vs Hasbro. So if you're playing for fun, mix it up man, and have fun. The differences are not that huge.

But, I would ONLY recommend buying TT launchers. ALL launchers from Hasbro are garbage. All of them. If you can get your hands on the new B-123,B-124 string launchers or even a regular sword launcher (TT of course, the Hasbro one starts off great but will wear down VERY quickly) get those.

It really not that hard finding hasbro beyblades Just go too a good part of town look in those stores or just go to hasbro toy shop website . Well in my opinion I would go with the one that is easier to get. Which in the US it is hasbro.

It clearly says "OR" not "vs" ... but that aside. If you can't see the rights and wrongs of everything, you're obviously tunnel visioning, trying to force an idea upon yourself (and others) to make yourself feel better about your choice doesn't help anyone at all.
Again both brands have their positives and negatives.
Same goes for the actual bootleg brands like rapidity ... they too have their positives. And while I definitely don't support people who purposely buy these, you can't deny the fact that they're there and they're being bought by many because they're cheap (aka the positive).

I can't deny the fact that slopes also wear down but they don't wear down nearly as fast as teeth do. Not to mention the occasional tooth that might break off. Again, somethings slopes doesn't have.
As far as I know, hasbro and TT are pretty much on the same line as being legit, official beyblade producers. They both have the right to make and sell beyblades and accessories for them. You're really misleading new and uninformed bladers by calling them fakes, putting them on the same line as bootleg companies like rapidity.

Btw, I don't think I ever have to worry about hasbro beys being sold out over here. They come in the store and they sit there ... and sit there ... honestly there's so little interest in beyblade here that they rarely sell out of anything. Little interest and timing just ruins the sales for beyblade over here. I've noticed several stores in the neighborhood purposely getting less in stock because they don't sell. One of the most known toystores here only stock 5 of each product of beyblade anymore. And even if they sell out they point towards their "online store", if the product is available in one of their other stores, they transport it for you (for a small fee) to your preferred store.

I also have a feeling that there are some tournaments where you can only use hasbro beys. Meaning, you strongly pointing fingers at people might actually hurt more than do any good. Let's be honest here, the way you formulate anything hasn't really been of any help. Highly opinionated not at all supported by facts but by how you feel about the 2 brands.

ps: why would I start with a beyblade that I personally don't like just from the looks alone?

depends on your perspective and what you consider facts (personally i think there are just one set of facts below)

TT invented the game
TT designs the beys
TT controls the anime

if anyone makes a spinning battle top that varies at all from the principles associated with the above, to me that’s a knock off product

the appearance of hasbro layers alone is obviously knock-off territory, imo

we all understand the anime is one big commercial, but it’s a commercial people love. to see what hasbro does to the colorways of some beys like G3 is really strange and obviously done in the name of cost cutting.  why else would they selectively vary from the anime? 

—-

it’s certain we won’t change each other’s minds, and you keep on fighting for just-causes like all those hasbro-only tournaments that happen in countless cities each weekend across america. cmon man.

You just need to decide where you want to put your money (TT, Hasbro, or both) and if it's worth it to you. 

Everyone here is just passionate about the game, and we're all trying to help in our own way.

I'm fighting for what now? I'm not even from America dude XD

Pretty sure TT doesn't have as much to say as you think.
Yes, they were the original creators, so to speak (since it's technically a rip-off on its own), other artist made it into what we know today, manga and anime, both of which I'm pretty sure TT has less to say than what you might think.

Either way, they did give the rights to hasbro to create beys (just as how they did to some other companies).

It is always fun to start with ... these facts prove ... nothing of what I've been saying at all but IN MY OPINION hasbro is an "obvious" knock-off.
That entire part alone seems like it was written by my little brother. Starting at one point, going in on his own words, throwing in words that make no sense to strengthen own opinion ... eventually just ending up with a jumbled up mess that just makes no sense.
Facts aren't a thing you can consider something to be. It either is or it isn't. That's what a fact is.

Facts are both TT and hasbro are LEGIT beyblade selling companies. <- that right there is an actual fact. Things beyond this point ... more like trivia.
They both have their positive and negative points, which might come down to personal opinion.
Small example, colors/stickers. One might prefer the stickers, another might prefer to have the colors already integrated in the bey.

Yes, beys might differ from the anime but even TT's beys differ from the anime. Does your valkyrie suddenly gain a massive speed boost from its reboot? They might try their best to make them look the same but they won't work the same way and thus will never be the same.

You know what the best thing about this is?
You're heavily, aggressively almost, defending Takara Tomy, even tho I've said nothing bad about them. I'm not dissing Takara Tomy, I'm not taking TT's side or Hasbro's side. I'm neutral, completely in between. I think both do great in their own ways and both have ways to improve.
I also didn't make this post to pick a side but to try and figure out what the best option for me is, given certain circumstances and reasons why I have doubts on picking not one side but any of the brands.

Champion! Javari Carr.

Both redpanda's and neoshai's arguments have truths to them, and there really isn't one 'right' side. Anyway, as to reiterate what Infinite.Zero said, pick a side, if you're neutral, we simply can't help you. That being said, yes Hasbro did seem to a pretty decent to a great job with Switchstrike. However, with the direction they're going with Turbo (Slingshock), I urge you to switch to TT

It seems as if your purposesly trying to side with both...but the title clearly states that you want to choose a side. So tell me...Do you pick TT or Hasbro. Or is this thread useless.

If I wasn't neutral, there was no need for this thread at all.
As I mentioned, both have their good and bad sides, and some are reasons to why I have trouble deciding.
I want to pick just 1 because they don't work well together. A hasbro driver with a Top layer from TT, don't lock together well, if at all cuz apparently rarely any driver works with my nL layer XD

So far I've bought only TT for collection purposes but have L2 (hasbro) that I've been using to play with.
And a few other hasbro beys I don't really use but saw them in stores, kind of liked them like the sparkly gold valkyrie.

But as mentioned above, there are some issues, mostly release-wise, which pretty much made this thread up. If I could get my beys at around the same time TT brings them out from Hasbro, I'd probably pick hasbro since that's what we have in stores here. If there's ever a bey I want to suddenly have (old or new), I can just walk into a store and get it. Especially since they sell so fricking bad, they stay in stores for ages XD
But it takes forever for a bey to arrive. bL was realized (from TT obviously) before we even saw L3. First time it came in stores here was just a few weeks ago. We saw L3, just a week or 2 ago. We still have a ton to get from switchstrike, we haven't even had all of the beys from beyblade burst wave 2 (should I call it wave 2 probably not but u know, V2,D2, L2 and so on). But that also brings along a positive site. For the longest time W3 both TT and hasbro was quite expensive. It arrived here (really late) and it was only 15 bucks. Obviously if I would've gotten it on release it would've been 15-20$ as well but at that time I didn't even know about the new series of beyblades ... surprise surprise, beyblade was lost to time for me XD

Both redpanda's and neoshai's arguments have truths to them, and there really isn't one 'right' side. Anyway, as to reiterate what Infinite.Zero said, pick a side, if you're neutral, we simply can't help you. That being said, yes Hasbro did seem to a pretty decent to a great job with Switchstrike. However, with the direction they're going with Turbo (Slingshock), I urge you to switch to TT

Again, that's the entire thing tho, none of them are really better than the other (launchers and other accessories aside).
So it's not about picking the "best" brand but the best fitting for me. I know it's a bit difficult, but since I kept having trouble figuring it out by myself I was hoping for some random comment that makes me decide.

Also, while extremely different, you have the same thinking wavelength as Redpanda.
This Slingshock thing hasbro is doing, is just a unique take on beyblades itself. It's like the remote control beys, light giving beys (forgot the name of those). It's just another unique thing. It has nothing to do with the normal releases or anything like that.
You talk about it as if they'r throwing away everything else beyblade related to focus on just this one thing. This is a side thing, just some extra merchandise. It's a standalone thing. I mean for as much I know about it that is.

So far I've bought most of my beys from TT. But sometimes I see a bey pass by when I walk in the stores that seems interesting to me.
And when I look it up to get the TT version, it's either not easy to find or way too expensive (especially when you compare it with the store prices here) ... well that is if I can't just find them for the normal price, of course XD
This makes it hard for me to (not) go with the one easily available to me, I won't be able to use the parts I have (from TT) with the parts of the bey in question (which would then be from hasbro). Again, this entire thing would be easy if all parts fit and worked together well :(
Beat Kukulcan is a good example.

Come and take me too jail @[Jinbee] for quoting such a large post not knowing how to use a spoiler...sigh...and the double post too btw:(. 


Back to the point. You clearly need a sales person to convince you to pick one or the other huh.Just get TT imo. They just do a better job. You get what you pay for quality over price. Or maybe you need cheaper products...then Hasbro might be good for you...

Well in my own general term, I would get either one depending on which ones have more value and uses. For example, the R2 is twice more better than the TT counter part. Same with other TT beys that bursts easily compared to Hasbro beys like G3, Sr, Y2, Canox C3, etc.

I would go with Takara Tomy launchers but I think Hasbro and Takara Tomy beys both have their advantages

I don't have much to add outside what others have said outside of this, I honestly laugh at people comparing prices for tt beys to hasbro like for one shipping will differ for where you live potentially (most of my purchases have been directly from Japanese retail stores online to save money than buying from resellers) but like, I've been wanting Tornado Wyvern for months because I like to have the exact color and official release of the beys owned by the characters that I like and while wakiya isn't my favorite I still love him a lot, to buy the hasbro tornado wyvern? Yeah it was released in like February I think and it sells online just about everywhere for around 100 USD if you can even find listings for it, TT tornado wyvern may be in a similar boat but overall when you're going hasbro you have to put up with the struggle of low stock indefinitely unless something changes on top of all the other things like coloration and design inconsistencies, don't know if this is confirmed but apparently their release of Crash Ragnarok won't even have the wedge driver. Basically what I'm saying is the biggest argument I see FOR Hasbro is really a case by case basis, if you're in a country that has a lot of extra fees for shipping then it'd definitely be a push for hasbro, but overall that means you'd have to really luck out and stock and additionally it means paying way more for older beys than you would for TTwhich for someone who's just starting out is really not ideal if you want to get older ones. For me, since I order through official retailers they normally put up pre orders and have discounts that allow me to buy them for as much as 5 or more dollars off most of the time making the average bey half the price what hasbro charges for in store. Though that may not be possible for everyone ; ;. For me though the best thing to use hasbro for is to get mostly correct stock release colors of random booster prize beys like maximum Garuda shelter regulus or beat kukulcan, since they're luckily rather faithful to the original colors. But that may not hold true for future releases since they just decide to not release certain parts lol.
