RE: light wheels aka why i hate takara-tomy - Pich - Apr. 05, 2009
Wait, I'm confused. Why is everyone so worked up about these now? We already knew about them and that they were carp. Did they say they will release more or something, cuz I don't see any new threads about more. Also, Dark Wolf can't go left spin?
RE: light wheels aka why i hate takara-tomy - Kazegami - Apr. 05, 2009
Didn't read any of that in the topic.
Sorry for playing Captain Obvious.

No, Dark Wolf can't go left spin.
People are mad about these because they're getting so much attention. There were more Light Wheels in MFB ep 1 than Metal Wheels. Light Volumes have replaced Volumes entirely, so there's no new RB with metal wheels. No more special metal wheel prizes. It just seems like a step backward in METAL Fight Beyblade.
RE: light wheels aka why i hate takara-tomy - Nick - Apr. 05, 2009
Anyone got any HMS I can buy? Thats basically the point I've gotten to now
Its sad, I was hoping they'd be releasing something worth getting now..

1. Damn
2. I honestly don't have a problem with this. The metal wheels were the ones that won and easily beat the lite wheels. It's not like they are saying lite wheels are the best or anything. They aren't main characters anyways.
3. They never said they were replacing the other random boosters.
EDIT:Nick, buy MFB, they are still much better than other beyblades, just don't buy the lite wheel boosters, they are carp.

There are still plenty of amazing MFB; Storm Pegasis, Libra etc. It's just that Takara dropped the ball on this Light Wheel Fiasco.

There's no new RB slated for release up through July.
RE: light wheels aka why i hate takara-tomy - Blue - Apr. 05, 2009
LttP.
WOW
God. you guys mean to tell me that the above wheels with the gray plastic are complete light wheels.
Wack as hell. this is such as waste of shelf space,why would Takara even bother. I guess its cheaper to manufacture but this doesn't work for planned obsolescence that required to keep thisgame profiable.
so Fail.

Another theory (and don't bash me if it's already been posted, didn't read everything in this forum):
The Light Wheels are a way to stall for time.
They probably have to think of new concepts and names for wheels.
The whole Zodiac/Constellation concept is pretty limited. The two zodiacs are kinda finished (You wouldn't want Beyblades called Rat, Rooster or Dog, would you?) and you don't get much out of constellations and stars if you don't want to sound too sci-fi.
And the names for Metal Wheels are too generic.

I sincerely doubt this is the case. They probably already have the series planned for the next twelve months or so. It's obviously a cost-cutting measure so they can offer the toy at a decreased price, and I understand the reasoning behind it and don't think it's a bad idea, but Light Wheels should be treated as a forced necessity for a "complete package" rather than a main feature of the series.
RE: light wheels aka why i hate takara-tomy - Rocky - Apr. 05, 2009
Besides, they don't even have to think of a new concept. They didn't with the old blade did they. They just added a bunch of letters at the end. So it's quite possible that with MFB they'll just add a bunch of words at the beginning instead. And not bother to think up a whole new concept.
RE: light wheels aka why i hate takara-tomy - Kazegami - Apr. 05, 2009
Oh well...
In this case:
My post is garbage!
CRUNCH!
I'll add it to the heap.
(Cookie for those who get the reference)
I'd better stay away from this topic...
RE: light wheels aka why i hate takara-tomy - japbeyblader - Apr. 06, 2009
Light wheels are a blessing for me because i could probaly go to a bey tourney and find little 7 year old using light wheels and i just smash them to pieces
RE: light wheels aka why i hate takara-tomy - NAP - Apr. 06, 2009
Are you still in the junior division?
EDIT: Junior Division = age 12 and below

RE: light wheels aka why i hate takara-tomy - Aqua - Apr. 06, 2009
Didn't know they had different divisions for beyblade tournaments in Japan. I thought there would only be like one division, 12 and under.
RE: light wheels aka why i hate takara-tomy - NAP - Apr. 06, 2009
Oh, I thought you were older for some reason. XD
Do you really think the kids will be using light wheels? I mean the only way to get one is from a booster, and I'd seriously doubt if anyone would just buy the random booster and a shooter instead of having an actual starter.

RE: light wheels aka why i hate takara-tomy - Nick - Apr. 06, 2009
To whomever said MFB are the best beyblades, I thought I just read on this site that HMS were still better than them? ..... just curious.
RE: light wheels aka why i hate takara-tomy - NAP - Apr. 06, 2009
No, HMS are now Outclassed by MFB.

I know, Im not completely dumb, I am just curious as to if a HMS were to go against a MFB which is better? I swear I heard someone say yesturday that HMS still can beat MFB...
RE: light wheels aka why i hate takara-tomy - Pich - Apr. 06, 2009
The best HMS combos cannot consistently beat the best MFB combos out there anymore.
