I agree with those issues. I'm going to be honest with you, this stadium seems like it'll be the worst Hasbro Burst BeyStadium released so far. The Avatar Attack is way better than this Battle Tower, even with that bump in the middle of its stadium. I think the same can be said with the Chaos Core BeyStadium bc that's still an actual stadium even with the lines and bump in the middle. And when I was watching Zankye's vid on it, the Hasbro representatives looked they were weak-launching their beys in there. This might have been overlooked but think about it, if you have an aggressive Bey, you can't even use it at full power bc it may fall off the top part, which can put aggressive Beys at a huge disadvantage. And this Battle Tower is already disadvantageous to really any Bey at all bc the Bey falls the top part, it could lose a lot of power, stamina, etc. Another thing - the price point. Seriously? $49.99? $39.99 would've been better. Not having the new SwitchStrike launchers in the set isn't really that big of a deal to me, but if we're in the SwitchStrike system now, people are going to expect the new SwitchStrike launchers with every product under that line, so I get where you're coming from. And the Beyblades in the set, oh god. We got Strike Valtryek V3 (which should've been named Strike Genesis Valtryek V3 to keep the SgV abbreviation), who doesn't even have the actual Strike God Chip gimmick of wing disabling, it looks like it's purely cosmetic. I don't like that. I know that Hasbro's God Chips are irremovable, but Hasbro should've tried to do something instead of giving us a Beyblade w/o its intended purpose. I also don't like how we didn't get Ultimate Reboot with SV3 as well, so I hope Hasbro will give it to us soon. Moving onto Noctemis N3 (this wasn't one of the better names on Hasbro's end), I do like that Hasbro kept its Upper and Smash Modes, but why give it 2 and not 3Hit? I'm happy we got Jaggy (which looks somewhat purple, which is nice, but it may be black), but still it's not anime accurate, just as you said. Overall for me, I'm probably going to buy this set twice (first for the parts as stock parts, second for the parts as extra/replacement parts and use for testing), but trust me, I'm probably not going to use that stadium.

I'd say don't buy the set, ya see KJ, hasbro will prob re-release a recolored n3 in a starter, same goes for sV

That excuse for an SgV doesn't deserve the Strike in its name.

Maybe. Even if they do, I like to have all recolors of the Hasbro Beys, so I'd probably still get this set (but only for the parts).

(Feb. 19, 2018  8:49 PM)TrainiacJ Wrote: The reason "Genesis Valtryek V3" and "Strike Valtryek V3" are written out like that is because the god chip difference makes them different layers in Hasbro. It's a simular deal with Legend Spryzen S3 and whatever Spriggan Requiem's name will be (Requiem Spryzen S3?), but in that case those two layers are actually different.

So it's really annoying to see people do the prefix thing with other names that don't have it on the box and don't need it (ex: Wyvron W3 -> Tempest Wyvron W3). It's just plain wrong, so stop doing it.

Maybe they didnt want to risk releasing the strike god chip both to prevent an extra choking hazard (and obviously to save money)?

Yeah, hasbro definitely missed their mark with strike valkyrie. The layer not even locking is absolutely absurd and the performance isn't affected whatsoever by the presence of a "strike god chip" and not to mention noctemis N3 looks so nerfed by hasbro that it was complete fodder in every battle zankye or the hasbro guys used it in in that video.
