It's 100% detachable, I just looked at TT's and Hasbro's zone and Xceed and saw 0 difference in the tip. My prediction is that you'll be able to switch Hasbro's and TT's X/Z chips.

Alright, it would be nice to have a bit more customization.

I just think it will be WAY better than Mobius-sp. They didn't capture the color of the tip. Even if it wasn't free-spinning, it would look better if it had color. Drift-sp might be one of the best Hasbro tips, as it doesn't look like they can mess it up THAT much. They just made it taller, and please, don't expect rubber. Overall these beys look pretty neat, except for the non-Limit Break system, but let's be honest, would they ever do that? It would be very nice to see a later wave of pro series having Hyperion Burn, Lucius The End, and Helios Volcano.

The color of the chip is a little different from the tip as well. I honestly wouldn't mind having Hyperion or Helios. They both look pretty cool.

Holy, Hasbro. Your laziness knows no limits. I’m ready for 600 of these to sit on the shelves of Walmarts until they release the sword Launcher with DB Valkyrie with like painted wings on it.

Curious how the set performs. Hasbro usually impresses me with their stadiums, so this can really make the whole Speedstorm gimmick worth it. Otherwise... 🤡

Hasbro is trying their best you cannot judge them just because they don't add every gimmick and Hasbro is more kid-friendly that's one of the long lines of reasons why they don't do everything correctly

if that were the case then why didnt they just remove EVERY gimmick from SwitchStrike and back then: beys like Nightmare and Sieg for hasbro still had metal and i mean A LOT OF METAL and still gave metal to beys like Hades and Buster in Turbo. Kid-friendly is probably the #1 worst reason to not add gimmicks and metal, by that logic wouldnt that mean that TT would have be "kid friendly" too?

another thing, i am definitely hoping the X and Z chips are removable otherwise i wont have any hope left for hasbro when Dynamite Battle comes around but i think its safe to say they're gonna screw that up anyway too lmao.

First, Hasbro's clearly trying to be "special". That doesn't mean I like it. Second, Hasbro's stadiums and beys are made so cheaply, that's why SwitchStrike cost more, and they knew it. Third, TT wasn't really made "Kid Friendly" they are the ones who invented Beyblade, not Hasbro. So, they don't have a choice to not do it anime accurately, because that's the only reason TT's prices haven't really changed. Hasbro is half the price, so for them, it needs to be half the quality. Again, I'm not arguing with your point, I'm just adding.

Hasbro is only half price because most of us order online. In person, they’re the same.

Hasbro hate is kinda dumb, but y’all need better arguments

Hasbro is it’s own thing, if you don’t like it, don’t buy it. Some prefer more fun and chaotic battles, some prefer better performance and anime accuracy, it doesn’t really matter. Hasbro is aiming for more fun and chaotic battles while utilizing stadium potential, Takara Tomy is anime accurate and much more competitive Beys, if you want chaos, get Hasbro, if you like winning tournaments, get Takara Tomy, or both.

Stop whining about Hasbro being inaccurate to Takara Tomy, they’re separate things at this point, we got Pro Series (although the teeth issue is a bit wonky), be grateful.

Not at all.

Anyways hopefully Drift-SP is solid enough, and some nice strong chips would be quite good.

He's right, kids nowadays don't bring the same negative speculation that YouTubers like Zankye bring. If people don't like it that much and all they're here to do is speculate, then please, stop buying them.

"Hasbro is trying their best you cannot judge them"

Of course I can. I'm surely allowed to give my perspective on a product and I don't see how this is trying their best. Hypersphere removed gimmicks and I had issues with some of their choices, but I praise it all the time. Speedstorm is a huge step-back, with lots of corners cut and cheapness and I will certainly criticize them for it. This has nothing to do with anime accuracy or TT -- I criticize TT for lots as well (and praise them when they do stuff right).

Anyway, the new shark launcher is the epitome of nonsensical Hasbro cheapness but their new Stadium is what I'm focused on. Wasn't impressed with their first Stadium for Speedstorm, but if this is done correctly (as I said) it could make the whole gimmick worthwhile.

I don't have pictures of those, but I do have some news anyway.  Better pictures of the Motor Strike Battle Set and a new set called the Ripfire Force Set:





So we're getting an interesting mix here.  We have a Riptide Shark Launcher, but also a pretty neat Demise Hyperion.  And it's a ripfire bey which we haven't seen since Turbo so it's a nice comeback.  A Speedstorm ripfire tip.  Comes with Limited RipFire disc, and what I think is a new tip (TSP19) ripfire.

Takara TOMY does have a bit of a western presence with the TOMY name.  Their Thomas trains was super popular, they had the license to distribute Pokémon figures(including their own Moncole stuff), and just last year, they started selling their Tomica cars in western stores.  If they wanted to, they could cut ties from Hasbro, and sell the beys, themselves.  Additionally, they also own ERTL, in case they need another western hand.
