You'd rather have that than the Zero G string launcher? I would much rather have Hasbro release the string launcher.

RE: General Hasbro BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion/Masters/Metal Fury/Shogun Steel [HOBBY] - Tri - Feb. 12, 2013
It's the balance stadium ...
Also, I found a video ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdXeP59pEh0
It shows Mercury Anubis on a poster so hopefully Hasbro releases it.
It shows a big cut out depicting some Shogun Steel characters.

You are very late to the conversation ... We discovered those BeyWarriors over ten pages ago.
That is just a side toyline anyway. Hasbro is releasing Zero-G in what seems to be a normal way, so you can at least forget about the sidelines, unlike with Metal Fury, where you almost had to focus on BeyWheelz for something better ...

The Sadiums Seem to be unbalanced, even though there the same mold as Takara Tomy

Though it looks unbalanced it will probably be the same as a normal Zero-G Balance Stadium.
I also don't really like spinning spirits. I forgot to mention that a few pages ago. XD

Hey, it looks like Hasbro did a good job with this. Not sure about the beywarriors, but this is still pretty cool!
RE: General Hasbro BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion/Masters/Metal Fury/Shogun Steel [HOBBY] - Kei - Feb. 12, 2013
Guys, the Hasbro Shogun Steel stadium is not the same as the ZERO-G Balance Stadium. There are numerous differences:
- Pockets rather than exits
- Wider/flatter
- Four stadium clips rather than three
Here's some comparison pictures:

You can't see all of the differences well, but if you watch one of the videos that is out there, you'll be able to see what I mean.

Red Phoenic? Why not green? It would match the lovely green E230/GCF they're including with it.

RE: General Hasbro BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion/Masters/Metal Fury/Shogun Steel [HOBBY] - Kai Hiwatari - Feb. 13, 2013
So pumped about the hyper blades. After I saw the hollowed metal wheels that Hasbro was releasing, I thought I would be forced to buy TT. Glad they are releasing them normally.
The Beywarrior things are cheesy, but it's different. Will definitely appeal to the target audience.
RE: General Hasbro BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion/Masters/Metal Fury/Shogun Steel [HOBBY] - Kai-V - Feb. 13, 2013
The target audience has likely grown by three years already though, unless they can really attract the younger generation even though the series has started.
RE: General Hasbro BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion/Masters/Metal Fury/Shogun Steel [HOBBY] - PikaBlader15 - Feb. 13, 2013
Yeah, very true, like my brother. Also, I found Hyperblades at my local Target. They had l-Drago Destructor, Cosmic Pegasus, Omega Dragonis, and an Electro Soaring Wing Pegasus.
RE: General Hasbro BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion/Masters/Metal Fury/Shogun Steel [HOBBY] - Yozzoy - Feb. 13, 2013
Probably a touch off topic since we're still talking about Shogun Steel but has there been any new info on the Pyramid Power Pack? I'm hoping Hasbro gives us the Brave Version of Mercury Anubis or something similar.

Target demographics, by inherent nature, do not generally change. A product aimed at thirteen year olds will not try to keep up with them as they age; it is much more universally profitable to continue aiming at the thirteen year olds with the very real probability that some of the people aging will stay into it for a while. The continuity of a series, especially one where a new plot is starting(and the original one barely mattered to begin with) is largely irrelevant in the West... especially in toy lines. Occasionally branching lines will aim at older demographics, but very rarely.
The idea that anyone cares about anyone's aging process in the marketing industry is 100% of the reason people complain about music/games/themes/toys/whatever not being as cool as they used to be - they're still exactly as cool as they ever were, you just outgrew the target demographic and cling to the old one by nostalgia alone.
S'just how the business works.
