Heh. I broke one of them as a child, actually, but no, these things are largely hollow, and made of a plastic that goes yellow and even more brittle over time.
BROKE MAH OTHER LAUNCHER GRIP
FML
It had a good run... It was that Sagattario grip...
IT LASTED SO LONG AND IT WAS SUCH AN UGLY COLOR ;_;
BUT I WILL REMEMBER YOU
FOREVEERRRRRRRR
; A; WHY
What part of it did you break, the same old spot where the clips are held in place?
Yep. I wish that they had more of a chunk of plastic behind them attached to the grip so it would break less...
Hasbro, Y U NO RELEASE LAUNCHERS ANYMORE
(minus the expensive terrible sets)
Ga', you've cursed me.
You broke two grips in two weeks. I did the same.
YOU MUST PAY
I also realized I broke my T125 without even using it.

My Beylauncher exploded when I was launching Basalt Aquario AD145WD....
And that means I have no good launchers anymore and my modded Ripcord one.
also doesn't work anymore ( it was MORE powerfull then Rev-Up. ) Well,time to buy a beylauncher and grip
My rev-up launcher failed a few weeks ago. It's slightly stronger than a light launcher, but the string won't retract, so it's not worth the pulling >.>
Now I have to use a modded light launcher...

Considering the fact that a bey's name is most easily noticeable in ones post (thanks to the 'all capitals' for the track and tip), I thought your Basalt exploded...
Well, a BeyLauncher is quite easy to get though.
And yes, I find it a bit difficult to launch heavier beys like those, especially with a LL2.
Launch a heavy bey with that and you'll feel like you are playing tug-of-war; and people at the other end left the rope...
lol. I feel for you.
Actually, it was 2 grips in quick succession during 1 day. Still, that sucks.
My T125 broke randomly when I was testing that old Hasbro combo I made last year, I think it was a defect in the shape of the hole for the face to screw in + cold weather.
Five more base clips disappeared today, in 20 minutes play.
Honestly, I want to call an ABS moulder and get them to mold snap-sheets of 20 base clips or something, this is just way too much...
Haha!
Base Clips were the most annoying parts of plastics IMO. I lost too many of 'em! Without them, the beys are useless. Such small, little, insignificant-looking things are SO important. Sheesh!
Not to mention they were extremely tough to remove/put in.
My suggestion- If you are extremely rich, get a couple of Uriel 2s. It has the best Base, and Base Clips to offer!
Heh, uriel 2 base clips. "Try to remove them, just try it. Feel brave?"
I'm not kidding about the ABS thing btw, if I knew the right people and knew it wouldn't instantly get me disqualified, I'd totally do it. A snap sheet of 20-40 black base clips, like the ones from galeon. I dream of this.
ABS moulding via vacuuform isn't actually too expensive, at least in the US... and you can also do polycarbonate molds that way.
I know of some places to go to get things ABS vacuu-molded, but how and why are 100% unrelated to my Star Wars interests.
100%.
Hmmm... I will look into it, maybe, at least for non-competitive clips or something, because one day, we will reach the inevitable clipocalypse.
Don't worry, my knowledge of its existence is 100% unrelated to Lego in any way, shape, or form.
You could always just buy a ton of Dragoon G to siphon clips off of.
Eight bucks for a pair of clips, though... hey, you could make a fort out of the ARs!
- G series beys do not have those clips which th!nk wants.
Their clips are fixed to the BB... Forever. I mean, they could be removed, but they are only EG base compatible. At least the Dragoon G one is...
I'm not sure why I did not remember that, seeing as I own several G-Series Beyblades... hm. I cannot think of any other explosively cheap Plastics you could exploit.
After a tough battle against a illegal bey ( and I won ) my poor Basalt was cracked and shattered.
wut
>basalt
>shattered
>lolwtf
What illegal combo was it?
To be honest if I had a basalt shatter against an opponent using an illegal blade, they would be buying me a new one.
That said, I would also question why I was playing against an illegal combo in the first place.

That has happened to me too.
A thousand times...
Come to India. You'll be flabbergasted upon seeing the beys we produce. Full-metal, pure iron beyblades; that have contact points SO sharp, that they make a perfect vegetable cutter. Not to mention the weight... I can be sure that each bey weighs above 150 grams... It is made completely out of metal, you know. There's NO plastic! Battle against those, and you'll feel like battling a tank! It will break your bey; or at least crack it within a few seconds...
@th!nk- Same for you, come to India.
I used to actively participate in tourneys hosted by local people around here... I was probably the only person to be using original parts! If you lost, not only did your bey break; you had to give away another one from your collection to the winner, as a token. XD
Thankfully, those guys have stopped hosting such tourneys now.
I probably lost more than 20-30 of my beys in such tourneys...
Now the scene has changed Jan. Here people get beys that are much lighter than MFBs and they are full plastic. I had fun knocking them around with Storm Pegasis. And Moreover(my infamous beybattle) I won against one of the illegal ones with Black Dranzer and then its AR broke...disintegrated rather like in the anime
. But I think those beys are not that heavy. I mean they have sharp tips and moreover they hardly weigh around 75-80 grams...I think a strong Vari or Blitz attacker would be enough to beat them....unless they damage the stadium itself
My rock leone's facebolt broke
. I also tightened my eagles facebolt too much and it broke
. For some reason my rock wheel for Rock zurafa is loose..
I have broken My BBP face too..it is normal..you need not be a heavyweight champ for it. And my Rock from Aries is loose as well so I dont think it makes much of a difference
Well, from the looks of it, I believe tightening a face too much doesn't break it THAT easily... MFs break, though.
I still do not see why the Faces you guys get snap so easily... As for the BBP Face break.
I love BBP's aesthetics, and would probably cry if something breaks...
