I'd absolutely love to, but part of the problem with this is that it's kind of hard to acquire single stadiums. Leoshop doesn't have BB-10s anymore, and sourcing them all individually through YJA would be quite costly. Muzinstore had a few a while back, but like several other eBay merchants, they'd probably compound shipping costs. So rather than paying about $10USD per BB-46 set and $30 or so shipping for everything, it'd be like $10+30 per item. Which is still pretty damn costly. If I can find any places that sell BB-10s and basically allow me to buy several of them and not get raped by shipping, then I'll be sure to let you guys know.

As for a weekly Beyblade league of sorts, I'd be all up for it. Only problem with that is the fact that I'm situated in the West Valley, so I wouldn't be able to participate as much as I'd like to.

I might want to use SMJ also as a means of acquiring Metal Faces and boosters, so let's see what happens in the next week or so as far as funds go. Hopefully the shop obtains some more Ray Unicorno boosters!

I'm in all the way. I'm also interested in the MF's and the boosters (depending on cost).

There are probably other people that feel the same, and it would be a good way to get new members. Plus...who's gonna make fun of us at an anime convention? xp

The tournament portion was turned down as a major event (think like, masquerade, cosplay chess, etc), but the convention chairman thinks that the idea of a Beyblade tournament+panel is a great idea, and we're basically waiting on his word in December, which would be when the panel scheduling would all be finalized. I'm kind of skeptical about the venue though; I was there at Sabo 2009, and it was kind of small. Hopefully they can make accommodations for us somehow, because a setup with a projector for live pool results would be great.

Based on whether the venue would allow things like entry fees or purchasing "random lot" Beys off of us, we're also going to go for WBO certification. I'm just slightly skeptical about some of the younger participants at our last tournament; I highly doubt many of their parents would want to go to an anime convention just to do a Beyblade tournament. But we'll see.

I've also been meaning to make a new Arizona thread with information updates in regards to tournaments or meets and other miscellany on the first post for newcomers sometime soon, but I'd like to wait until I can see what's up as far as acquiring BB-10s from Japan via a proxy shipping service goes, first.
