I'll just post the image here as well and by the way, it looks great! I'm looking forward to testing Balkesh B3 as well as Bump!

I love these orange details! (even though I think it would be better if they were red)

hope it has stronger slopes

Found some other nice stuff too bc of Brickseek.

You know how we never had images for the individual Beys in the Driger S & Dragoon Fighter Dual Pack as well as the Draciel S & Dranzer F Dual Pack? Well, bc of Brickseek, we do now!

Here are images of the Beys in the Driger S & Dragoon Fighter Dual Pack!

Toywiz also had a clearer image of the box.

The Bearing I got with Caynox has a bent shaft, which means it moves all over the place. It's still not too bad as far as LAD is concerned, but it also never really gets a stable spin, which hinders its Stamina early.

Spryzen Requiem seems a bit... too tight, I think is the best way to put it. I tried putting Zeta on it right off the bat, and it slipped off once it was on all the way. I tried a great many tries to even get the driver into the layer to begin with, and even then I was still left trying to figure out why screwing it on all the way somehow made it fall off. Apparently all my attempts to put a driver on had switched it to left-spin mode, and switching to left-spin mode and trying to put it on that way returned it to right-spin mode. It took literally holding the mechanism in place to finally get the driver on.

Spryzen Requiem's one of the happier problems to have, but I really wish this Bearing wasn't so borked up.

With Burst however, I've noticed these feelings beginning to change. As an owner of both the Hasbro Dual Threat L/R string launcher and the Takara Tomy L/R I can say that both of these launchers offer consistent and good launches with decent control. Also these launchers seem to be popular among the general Blader populous.  

But what about the SwitchStrike starter (SS) launcher? We get one with every SwitchStrike starter release, and I must say this launcher is heavily overlooked. After doing several comparison tests, I have found that I get both strong AND controlled launches that surpass the Hasbro Dual Threat in terms of power and control. This can especially be seen with performing a banking pattern with attack type drivers. The only launcher in my collection that is consistently stronger than the SS launcher is the Hasbro Sword Launcher. Keep in mind that I do not own the TT Sword or Digital Sword Launchers so I'm not sure how those would stack up against the SS launcher.As much as I love my TT L/R BeyLauncher and my Hasbro Sword Launcher, those two launchers have issues with launching two of my Beys, namely Spryzen Requiem S3 with the Hasbro Sword, and Luinor L3 with the TT BeyLauncher for some reason. On the other hand, my SS launchers don't have a problem with any Bey that I own. 


So what is the takeaway from this? I encourage all of you that don't have access to the "most powerful" launchers to give the SS launchers another look before spending more money. Just because they're inexpensive and common shouldn't devalue their potential in the right hands. personally I love how much stronger the SS launcher is than the Dual Threat or how well it matches up with the TT L/R Long Winder. In the end if you're: 1) On a budget, 2) dislike string launchers, 3) like using sliding shoot attack types, 4) don't own anything stronger...or all of the above, I recommend giving this strong little launcher some love.
