Whine about your breaks

Also... anyone else have that problem with mfb beylaunchers where you launch one bey and the string gets stuck, forcing you to pull it gently to go back into place? I think this might be the gears in the launcher breaking, causing a "skip" in the launch.

Oh my god, I hate when that happens. -,-

I was practicing with Burst combos a few days back and apparently, when I launched my combo, my Bey wouldn't fly off from the launcher. I tried getting the Bey off until I gently twisted the Driver. It keeps happening with my setup launcher grip but with just the String launcher itself, it works perfectly fine.

Am I launching too hard or is the grip, etc.?

Thanks!

It's probably the launcher. Sometimes the Beys do get stuff to the launch because they are just in too tightly, I think. I know the purple BeyLauncher from Wyvern had this issue where the Beys would not come off and the Layer would twist sometimes.

Maybe the prongs are just a little too wide? Not really sure how to explain it other than it is just stuck.

Probably but it's probably me always twisting the Beys into the launcher subconsciously. When I tried to not twist it, it worked fine.
Prongs are good. c:
Yeah, all things end...

But not yet!

I've been checking my V2's wings and underside after every game for signs of stress or imminent breakage since I got it last month. About a week ago, though, this little crack appeared, so I haven't used it much since.

As good as this Layer's been to me, looks like I better start looking for a new one.
I also frequently check my V2 and it's doing fine. After my other one broke in less than a day I've been very cautious. Right now I'm using a v2 from the b-38 entry set and it's holding up fine. I don't have a normal colored v2 but I was wondering if there is a slight molding difference. As far as I can tell it looks identical to the pictures you just uploaded.
I just lost my Thunder Dragon MS' flint...
Bummer...
Unhappy

I guess I'll just buy some Zippo flints instead.
Smile
I hate that, yeah Zippo flints work. They don't spark quite as good, but they last a lot longer I think. The black ones can get chewed up pretty quick. Especially if they are external, like inba spark disc. I personally hoard all the black ones i get and never store em in the bey. FYI, I may know someone selling cheap NIB Sparkling Attackers that comes with an official TT black flint! (Me)
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/162081719030
Would do $15 shipped to the US for WBO members, outside of ebay with PayPal only (but we can still do a goods transaction if you want so you are still protected)
I have at least 2 for sale, maybe 3

Yo... how'd that happen?
.......
I know I'm gonna regret asking but how!? XD

Edit: ForZ sniped me lol
I decided to launch Dragoon V2 really hard with Left launcher + Neo Winder ONCE and somehow it broke my bb10...

Yes... it wasn't in a battle it was just Dragoon V2 in the stadium when this happened.

"Somehow" mate... we all know how it happened lol

It's annoying though, hope you've got a few spares Tongue_out

You break everything! Haha

I have just been applying tape to everything to hopefully avoid this...

Next step... super dense and super large Diamond, with 1234Beyblade, it's definitely possible...

I'm starting to notice a trend here... You launch something hard, something's gonna break... Your Dragoon G's WD, 20XX Victory Valkyrie layers, and even a face bolt... you're murdering innocent beys... XD

Also...
We're all familiar with Valkyrie wearing down, sadly. Unhappy

Also...

To be fair, the facebolts aren't that hard to break in my experience... I've done it to three plastic ones and one metal face.

I can't begin to explain how many face bolts I broke because I accidentally overtightened them, haha. Stone faces, I don't really know since I never really got into zero-g, although I'd assume it'd be the same, if not better than regular face bolts.


Also, really stupid question/joke time: If 1234beyblade breaks a lot of parts in his videos, pretty much breaking the bey...
...is he a BladeBreaker? Cute
I would have to count the amount of faces ive broken. Might be around 20.
Broken beylaunchers, broken beylaunchers everywhere

Haha, it's pretty fragile for beybladers who launches strong. Ripcord Launchers are pretty carp though.
Mudorios and I always break so many little Hasbro ripcords. we need to stop.

I have a collection of about 8 broken beylaunchers Uncertain
Yes. Light launchers simply have no power compared to them, it's really too bad.

They are great when you have a long winder! I prefer it to the Beylauncher, well at least for MFB.

So many broken Plastics, though. Unhappy My Upper Dragon AR, SG Grip Base, Reverse Wolf, and Cross Attacker. So many good parts... So sad...
