I've found through many talks with Hasbro's managers to be pointless; I came up with the idea that if we get enough people to not buy Hasbro beyblade products we can show them that what we really want is useful things not products like the IR controlled beys or electric beys. WE want to buy useful things; or stadiums with out gimmicks give us a big stadium, not a big one with gimmicks.
its cause gimmicks make more money dude, im sorry but you cant win, if you stop buying itll just force them to create more gimmicks, its exactly what hms was, beyblade was the in thing and everyone was doing it but by the time the v series came out it was dead, the only time youd ever see them around would be behind stacks of toys that must have been there for a lonnnng time, then after a year or two hasbro tried to reboot it again with the eg series, which was a step back but brought a few people with hopes of new parts and tech but no they took it as "oooh more gimmicks more money" and killed off the plastic line and brought out hms which was way more limited in every way, completely took away all the fun of the game and thus forcijng everyone to abandon their collections and have to start afresh which obviously noone wanted/ could afford to do so they manage to obliterate their entire customer base

This isn't even the right place to discuss something like this...
Well it's hard to tell where to put these threads; yes hasbro brought us beyblades but they refuse to bring useful things. A lot of the stuff we get is full of gimmicks I wan't exclusive beys, boosters, accessories, a line of parts and so on. Yes they fix mold problems but have I yet to see an 85 track bey, or those promotional games like in japan. Yet I talk to them and the second I tell them "your launcher grips aren't available, or why don't you release these sets or non gimmick stadiums" I get a ended chat session, their customer support stinks.

I just want them to follow a line exactly as it was made yes they could make their own creative ideas, but I rather see those unique ideas be useful not something that would be considered pointless.
