Then say it in the original message instead of a filler message.

So the gimmick of the new season is...customizable tips? That's unexpeceted, and actually kinda cool. That is, untlil you realize that basically means goodbye driver gimmicks. So is it really worth it?

Also new baldur is pretty nice.

The easiest way Hasbro can redeem themselves is by allowing compatibility with Takara TOMY parts.  Again, it wouldn't be hard.  All they have to do is slightly lower those little walls just above the slopes.

There's a name for that: Pro Series.

But really, they've gone way too far with their sloped system to go back now. It'd make the rest of the mainline difficult to use with past releases, which is a no-go scenario.

Read what I said, again.  They wouldn't have to remove the slopes.  They would just need to lower the walls just above them enough for the lips of the Takara TOMY/Pro Series drivers can grab onto.

so you hate hasbro, right? some may hate hasbro due to the massive color differences... some may hate hasbro due to teeth... and some may just hate hasbro in general. but wait. if hasbro was just like takara tomy, where would the difference come in? I mean, there's already a pro series for all of that, and it would just be pretty predictable everytime. if hasbro didnt make it hasbro style and instead repeatedly made it takara tomy style (pulling a rashad), it would just start to get boring. again I'm not trying to stir anything up, just trying to loosen you up a bit to hasbro.

TT drivers and Pro Series tips CAN go on normal Hasbro layers normally, the problem is that it destroys the slopes due to the plastic used in the layers

Our issue isn’t necessarily in those kind of differences in Hasbro.

So then what’s the issue?

Since Turbo, Hasbro went cheap. First it started with removing metal from the layers, and it only went downhill from there. Hypersphere may have had an interesting gimmick, but the beys that came with the series were terrible quality. The drivers and layers both felt super cheap, and many burst very easily. Surge took a step forward being similar to turbo, but then it plummeted toward the end of the series as well. Quad drive has yet to be decided upon whether or not it’s super cheap and too gimmicky, so I won’t speak about it for now. The point is, it feels like Hasbro is taking advantage of the fact that people will buy their products even if they make them cheaper. This may not be the case, but the point still stands that it seems like Hasbro has cheapened out when it comes to their products ever since Turbo, and Pro series has been the only thing that feels like they are actually trying at.

That blue Bey is Lord Hydrax H5, not Lord Achilles! This 2-Pack was already revealed in February, togeteher with Vex Lucius L6 and Curse Devolos D6. So it's nothing new, but it isn't released yet tho. But I think that there are some websites who sell that 2-Pack, so look for it when you are interested.

Just noticed that it's Hydrax and not Achilles a couple minutes ago, I edited my post accordingly.
It seems that you're right! My bad, I didn't recall seeing images of the product or videos covering it but I see why. Odd that it hasn't been released yet.

Read my second paragraph again. They've gone too far to change it now, and doing so would make previous drivers loose.

Either you're dealing with very serious wear issues or you're mostly going on about how the newest stuff has rather poor slopes, upon which case you're still missing the point of what I'm saying. Sticking Hasbro drivers on TT beys results in an incredibly loose fit, so loose that you can barely ever hear a tooth click from them. Most Hasbeys on proper Hasbro drivers aren't anywhere near that loose, and those that are are sort of just badly designed to be that way (here's looking at you Sphinx).

No, if you made the Hasbro mainline use TT/Pro series drivers like you're suggesting, then you get the same incompatibility gap that already exists between TT/Pro layers and mainline Hasbro. Even if they still have a sloped surface instead of teeth, they would have nearly no tightness with older non-Pro driver releases and make it so that any new driver releases would be damagingly tight on older mainline layers. There is utterly no reason for them to divide the mainline like this. Mainline isn't Pro, it shouldn't be made compatible with TT/Pro drivers as that ruins the rest of the mainline's customizability.
