What got you all hooked on beyblade?

So what originally got you guys hooked onto beyblade and where did it all start for you?
I personally saw the beyblades in target first and got completely hooked on the anime, next thing you know the whole school has beyblades and everyone's battling during recess, ahhhh the good times haha
There's already a thread for this I believe.
I used the search engine and nothing came up ._. Lol
I didn't have much time to search ealier and figured you had done a thorough search, but you hadn't.
