Ok, this is my third attempt to get this thread right. Please forgive my stupidity. All I want to know is if ANYONE on these boards might now of ANY local shops that are NOT on the list of Known stores. I ask this because that list ONLY pertains to the few major stored here in the US. I want to know if there might be a local mom and pop or what have you that I could get Hasbro or TT Beyblades and Accessories that are local to me... like in a 20 mil Radius. I currently live in the USA - Queens, New York. If I am incorrect in starting this thread here PLEASE do not just close it. Place it where you feel it should go where my question can be answered.
Thank you.

Seriously... I've seen it. Where does it mention stores that might be local to me?? No where. I don't mean to come off as rude but what was missed in my OP?? Toys R Us. Kmart, Walmart and Target all suck by me. Mail order from any of them sucks as well. I'd have to do eBay or something else but I'm trying to find local if I can so maybe I might not have to spend as much or wait as long. I think that isn't so much to ask for soooo my simple question is... if anyone lives in my area and might have some knowledge of a shop then please let me know... if not there is no need for anyone to say... "Search is your friend or Dude... duh did you check out that post it says right there" I didn't find anything useful.
Thank you.

Dude, listen. You can not find Japanese beyblades in the US, you will only find Hasbro. Next, I am sure you can use google to find local toy stores besides the ones you mentioned. You can call them and ask if they have beyblades.
I think Jp0t got some TT bets from Chinatown in San Francisco, but they were really expensive.

San Francisco is way too far from New York...
@op you were advised not to make new threads already. You still should post in that thread whether you found what you needed or not.
I know, but maybe New York has somewhere similar.
Doubt it though, since I don't think there are many Chinese there. Never been before, so I don't know for sure though.
There are certain toy stores that exist on Long Island and NYC that contain Japanese beys, but the names elude me. Perhaps somewhere along St. Marks' in Manhattan? This is coming from a fellow New Yorker.
As for Hasbro, you should be able to find them in Walmart/Target/TRU, in which case several exist. If the ones in Queens do not work well, the ones in Manhattan and the Bronx have what you want. I would recommend using eBay though, since you can get good deals from sellers like 88powerpig88 and a near-unlimited selection and stock of beyblade products.
In New York City there are a couple places that sell TT product stores called Toy Tokyo and there are stores in China Town in NYC. but lets get back to the topic here :3
anough said you will not find any TT beys excpet Hasbro in Walmart, TRUS, and target in NewYork. i belive that is a fact
ShinobuXD... Thanks. heh... I wish I was in San Fran.
I would assume that our Chinatown might have stores. I don't live close. *Ginga* Ummmm the reality of trying to figure out what shops might sell Beyblades would probably take time that I don't think most people have. Sooooooo asking if anyone near me has a clue would help. If no one responds then what can I do. BUT there is always a chance that someone could say... "Dude... the store at Roosavelt Field Mall is selling buku Hyperblades... Hey I saw this super rare L/R Launcher at the Broadway Mall store... Bro, this little shop on Main Street and Roosavelt ave in Flushing is selling TT versions... Go GET IT" Hey... You never know.
BH145WD - I still don't understand why my thread shouldn't be posted? I found no threads that pertain to Queens NY. I felt that If I posted it as I did I would get the visibility I needed. I didn't think is was wrong to post what I believed was a simple thread asking.... Hey... if you have knowledge of such and such... post it. Thanks... I have searched Google... I didn't find out about Beyblade today. I've never been to a forum that closed a thread for asking something as I did. What was wrong with my thread exactly?
Well, we are a very professional forum, and image: if 25 people like posted threads with one question a day, imagin how fast this forum would get cluttered. Besides, there are other Bladers in NYC, if you ask in the thread you were shown to, I am sure one of them would reply.
Ga'Hooleone & BlitzUnicornoHD - Thank you for that info. Ga, if you remember the store in LI def let me know if you don't mind. I hate going to the city anymore. It's too crazy there... that's why I moved outta there. lol (Grew up near Chinatown. LES born and raised. lol My bad.. that was ghetto of me) Did you find Hyperblades in Walmart, Toys R Us and Target out there in the BX? I went to Carl Place and Whitestone Toys R Us... Nada They only had the Hyper Strike Battle Set which I picked up. I'm just trying to get stuff as cheap as possible. Especially a L/R Launcher. Anyway... again... many thanks for the reply.
*Ginga* - I appreciate that you feel that this forum very professional. I would disagree to a certain extent but that's my opinion. That could change... It could be a case of... "Maybe we got off on the wrong foot". In any event... I apologize for not following the forum rules. Please feel free to close this thread as well. I will then post in the thread directed to.
To the others, thank you for the info. At least some info is better than nothing. *Thumbs Up*
