Don't worry too much, I recieved my MFB on Tue, so I don't have to eat away at your supplies. Will there be point counters there? My friend would be interested in getting(or probrably buying one) if he can cause he got the LDrago and I had the Storm Pegasus Starter so I got everything I need except for the launcher grip accessory. Tongue_out I showed a bunch of people my beyblade at the Gundam Building Contest and people were wondering about it. XD

Hey, awesome! Can't wait to see you there tomorrow. Yes, there will be point counters. I'm glad someone else there will know about MFB, perhaps you wouldn't mind discussing it with me. And we'll battle!

O, and I'm sure this has been asked before, but just making sure, we are NOT able to buy any MFB's at the event, right?

I only have about five MFB and would really like to keep them for Bladers new to MFB. I'm doing my best with very limited supplies, so please try to understand me!
Jun. 13, 2009  6:56 AM
 
Ok, no problem there. Was just making sure. I too hope you have enough supplies considering (according the Wikipedia) last year they had an attendance of 4,400 people. Also, I also hope that it turns out well, so it'll happen again next year!
Jun. 13, 2009  7:14 AM
 
Was also wondering, if there's anyway there will be stadiums available for purchase or we can take em home after the event cause I've looked around everywhere and I can't find any. It's hard to try out beyblades without a proper stadium...I seriously hope that beyblade does come back and/or release the MFB in North America...No one that I know of imports Beyblade stuff anymore so they're practically nonexistant.

Anime North had over 20 000. Grin So large amounts of people are not new to me. But I usually have a bit more to work with.

Unfortunately I have no stadiums to sell. However, Hasbro is bringing MFB back next year in Fall 2010 under the title Beyblade Metal Fusion. However, I'd like to start a Beyblade Club in Vancouver. If we do that, I can definitely start doing club orders and you would be free to put a stadium in there ...

really? If Hasbro is bringing it to North America, then I'm stoked. Too bad it's gonna be in the fall of 2010. Unhappy I was thinking of using a frying pan as an improvised beystadium, but teflon coating isn't the best surface. Is it ok to bring the older Beyblades? I love my combo of Metal Draciel Top, Left spin gear and Galeon Base combo. Tongue_out

I'm Brad's right hand man at these things, and it shouldn't be a problem since we will be having free play, regardless of the turnout.
Just remember, official Takara or Hasbro parts only!
Jun. 13, 2009  7:28 AM
 
Aww, darn. Only way i could of gotten alot of my beyblades were in shady chinese shops and our Night Markets, so I guess it's not ok to use but i can still bring it at least right? Even though it's not offcial, i doubt it will fall apart since I used a hot glue gun to make sure it doesn't get loose and fly apart in mid fight. I remember the clips coming off in mid battle sometimes...it was messy. XD
Jun. 13, 2009  7:30 AM
 
They are using the new MFB beyblades anyway, so you won't be able to use it (even if it was a plastics event).

I would sincerely advise you to leave your counterfeits at home. A Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament would not tolerate counterfeit cards, and I will not allow anyone to use counterfeit parts on the event premises.
Jun. 13, 2009  7:34 AM
 
Oh, I didn't mean use at all. But it's ok, didn't want to carry so much anyways. But my MFB is real so that should be alright.

Good luck with this event!
Jun. 13, 2009  5:33 PM
 
Haha, sounds a little familiar. Good luck Brad and Annie, have fun. Smile

Good luck guys Grin

Event went well! Expect a more detailed report from Brad when we get home tomorrow.
Jun. 13, 2009  10:55 PM
 
nice; good to hear things went smoothly.
Jun. 13, 2009  11:15 PM
 
Great to hear everything went well! And Brad was just about to cancel the event Tongue_out
Jun. 13, 2009  11:46 PM
 
Glad to hear it went well. Can't wait to hear the details. Smile

Hey everyone,

Yes, it went surprisingly well. Over the course of the day about fifty people stopped by. It was a very casual event with an unranked tournament and lots of free play. What was odd was that as I was discussing Beyblade, lots of people were there, and then left as the tournament was about to begin ...

About twelve people were interested in starting a BC Beyblade group, so I may have found a regular group to play with. Grin Woo.

I'll post a short video compilation soon!
Jun. 14, 2009  3:12 AM
 
Awesome. Glad you had fun. Looking forward to the video.
Jun. 14, 2009  3:13 AM
 
Hey that's great! I'm glad it went well Grin
Jun. 14, 2009  3:15 AM
 
BTW, consider this:

Anime North has 25000 attendees. BWR had about 40 participants.
Anime Evolution has about 5000 attendees. VBS had about 30 participants.

Lots of people showed interest ... lots of people wanted to buy Beyblade but I had little stock, so that was disappointing.
