RE: How did you get into beyblade? - Gotruto - Jul. 24, 2008
Warning: This is a very descriptive story, if u wish to just skip discriptions, go to the last paragraph.
I was watching Cartoon Network every second of the day back then, or 4Kids TV, and eventually saw the show. The show was awesome, it had so many strategies and fighting monsters was cool to me back then (Notice that i was only 6....) i got hooked on it and watched every episode up to G-Rev, where i missed most of it, but V-Force was the best. So eventually (Like a month after i started watching the show) my brother traded some of his YuGiOh cards (It was actually OK back then...... atleast when people played by the actual rules... not the gay shows rules...) and got me a Draciel S (I loved Draciel back then...Kai was too much of a jerk for me too like/Tyson was too dumb/Kenny was too....nerdy/Rei was cool yet too unpredictable and weird for my tastes/Max really kind and most of the important carp in the story happened to him...I didnt like Dranzer/Dragoon was missing wings.../Driger was my bros favorite/Draciel was defensive) OK maybe im going into to much detail...My bro got himself a Dragoon S.
Basicly: I watched the show and loved it, then my bro got me a Draciel S and himself a Dragoon S (But the cheapwad who gave it to him left out the Draciel BitBeast... i hated that...)

I recieved the Ultimate Frostic Dranzer, my older brother got the Ultimate Saizo, and my little brother got the Roller Defenser in our Christmas stockings the year Beyblades were released internationally. So really, Santa Cl--I mean, my parents got my interested in Beyblades.
I remember we didn't have a stadium, so my two brothers and I would launch our Beyblades across the the kitchen floor in hopes of making them collide. It was a lot of fun, just beyblading all ghetto-like (no offense, seriously).

I used to see commercials all the time when the toys first came out and I was like those are so dumb. Then I saw that they had a tv show and I made fun of it even more. Then one morning before school I watched the showed. After watching it a few times I actually liked it. Then I got my first Beyblade that Christmas.
RE: How did you get into beyblade? - Evan - Aug. 08, 2008
I saw the ORIGINAL TV commercial
The really cheesy one. I went to Target and bought Draciel S and Spark Knight. My friend Silas bought the stadium and Grip Attacker. It was great fun ^^

Even though I only was into Beyblade for a short time, the OtC website is ultimately what piqued my interest. Up until then, I thought Beyblade was a silly children's top game with no real strategy or thought to it. However, when I stumbled upon OtC and started reading, I found out that there is actually depth to this game, that everything from parts to launch technique matters, and that it isn't just little kids that play.
RE: How did you get into beyblade? - Siliva - Aug. 09, 2008
My sister told me to watch the show with her for a little bit. She got bored of it and moved on, and my brother and I played for years.
Oddly enough, it's the same way I got into Pokémon. And my sister regrets getting me into either of those things.
RE: How did you get into beyblade? - ChozenBlader - Aug. 09, 2008
2 of my best friends brought one into school in September 2002 (They were brothers, they shared it.) I believe it was Ultimate Saizo.
Anyway, I saw it and wanted one. I asked my parents to get me one, so I went to Toys R Us and got my first blade, a Draciel S.
RE: How did you get into beyblade? - Rockblade - Aug. 12, 2008
i first started seeing commercials on JETIX, then when it finally aired i was hooked. I started doing chores just to get my hands on the toy. Then i started collecting, when i found this site i finally went to my first tourney BOTB. It was alot of fun cant wait till BOTB2

By the really rich guy, do you mean Robert? If so, the blade was called Griffolyon
RE: How did you get into beyblade? - TheGigsMeister - Aug. 15, 2008
Robert sounded gay, and Griffolyon sucked too =p
I don't get what was with the whole deal with Hasbro having a purple recolour of it and calling it Griffolyon two.
RE: How did you get into beyblade? - ChozenBlader - Aug. 15, 2008
Yeah, you have a point, and Griffolon was extremely rubbish. Was there any use for it though, like for the AR?

Not really.
RE: How did you get into beyblade? - ChozenBlader - Aug. 15, 2008
Thought as much. I bought it, launched it a couple of times against my Draciel S and it broke
RE: How did you get into beyblade? - RevertedToZero - Aug. 16, 2008
I saw it when i was 7 yeah, and it was awesome, though i forgot it until like near the end of january this year when POP were showing the entire first series ( But not VForce or GRevolution) and i was hooked on it again. i also had a dranzer which my mum bought (persumably because that i liked blue at the time, and i still do) and my brother had a dragoon, god knows where they are and the only blade that i have i a fake and i have no launcher for it!
But still, i'm still hooked!
(And Why is this forum quiet every time i'm on it?)

RE: How did you get into beyblade? - bladehoarder - Oct. 26, 2008
I first remeber beyblade from a commercial back in 2001. The commercial depicted three overly enthusiastic little kids talking about how EXTREEM their beyblades were.
The dialog went something like this:
kid #1: HAI GUys, I use my GRIP ATtaCKEr for ExtrEEM attack!!1!
kid #2: I use my ULTIMATE SAIZO for AWESOME defense!!!1
I'm not sure if the third kid spoke, but he had a spark knight.
The kids then proceeded to scream "LET IT RIP" and battle.
I remeber my 11 year-old self sitting on the couch, exclaiming "This is Sooooooo GAAAAY" to my younger brother.
However, the next year in 2002, I saw some kids at my school beyblading and suddenly became interested after seeing them in person. My first beyblade was a metal draciel from Toys'R'us.
