Haha, this is the most plausible explanation I've heard so far.

Oh yeah, because uncatchy unmemorable random characters are so much better right? I mean, they want to appeal to kids, and I'm sure random letters aren't appealing. I guess it's an understandable reason at least.

If Hasbro were to support a naming system like Takara-Tomy's for western, primarily English-speaking audiences, some parents would inevitably become offended by at least one of the possible three-letter abbreviations for a combination of parts to the spinning top toy their child is playing with.

We should also keep in mind that since English is not the primarily-spoken language in Asia, some of the three-letter abbreviations or words formed from the alphabets that represent them might be considered innapropriate or offensive by some westerners likely doesn't mean anything or hold as great a negative connotation to Takara-Tomy's primary audiences.

If Chaos gets released, then including Deathscyther there is an odd number of Beyblades to release in dual packs, which does not add up unless they just pair them with recolours of Beyblades already released. Unless I am forgetting some Beyblades.

In Metal Fight Beyblade, Hasbro never released the Metal Sytem Wheels anyway, only the Metal Wheel equivalent, Infinity, so there was never any chance of Libra getting produced worldwide despite the ban in Japan.

Has anyone in the entire United States have any information whether its from an employee of ToysRus, Target, Walmart or Hasbro itself regarding the release of Beyblade Burst?

Has anyone seen these products on the shelf in a U.S. store yet?

I'm thinking of calling Hasbro again and this time they cannot use the excuse that they don't know about Beyblade Burst because it's out in Canada.

Please let me know if you have any info because I am dying to get my hands on these products before I have to go to school.

Your fellow blader,

With Hasbro's seeming improvement (or not, depending) of the Layer-Driver locking mechanism, maybe we'll see some new contenders for Deathscyther's top spot in Stamina.

Burst has that as well, but def not to the same degree. Bursts added a degree a randomness to the game, so luck became a more central part of the experience. With Hasbros, bursting is rarer. So it seems like the luck aspect has been decreased, which I'm okay with.

I'm sure they'll be a mid September release.

Also, why doesn't the stickers have any detail at all? Why just flat bold coloured ugly cut outs? I mean would it kill them to add detail to some of them at least?
