I'm sure most of us here remember getting the news back in 2004. Beyblade will be going on an indefinite hiatus. The final releases, Shining God MS and Bloody Devil MS, were the very definition of underwhelming. And then, silence. Beyblades continued to circulate in North America for about a year after, but there was little reason to continue. The anime had ended, there were no tournaments, and most importers already had the tops that were being released. In the end, Hasbro neglected to release many major Beyblades, and it died off.

I'd disappeared from the internet around that time due to personal circumstances. In the interim, there were some half-hearted attempts to keep the community together, but until Beywiki/WBO they weren't very successful.

Then we continued to chat about Beyblade, but there was little we hadn't discussed. And then ...

We heard. We heard that a new Beyblade series was coming. Most of us never expected to see it happen, let alone after a mere four years. It was the best news the Beyblade community could've ever hoped for. And where are we now?

This board is full of whiners who can only compare MFB to the new series. I'm sick of it, like really sick of it. "ohhh i like plastics more, oh this new series is lame, why aren't they using the old characters, blahblahblah" Shut up. Seriously, just shut up. It's a miracle that Beyblade came back at all, and if all you can still talk about are Beyblades from over a decade ago I have to question how much you like Beyblade in the first place.

So, I'm asking all of the MFB-hating, drowning-in-nostalgia ingrates to just keep their mouths shut about it because nobody is interested in hearing how much you dislike the new series and how much better the (rather poorly designed) plastic series is. Let us enjoy the revival of our favourite game of all time in peace.

I'm somewhat baffled to see how much Plastic blade talk is going on, I would think there would be more MFB talk (or at the very least, HMS talk). But it seems everyone has focused on plastics.

I think everyone needs to talk a step back, calm down, and enjoy this hobby. Instead of arguing over how good the old days were.

I like my Driger S as much as the next guy, but seriously there is a limit on nostalgia. Thank you Brad for saying what was needed.

If you have not had the chance to play with MFB yet, fair enough. The exchange rate does not make it easy to purchase for everyone. You just don't have a valid opinion to make comparisons. This is a chance to bring the game back, support it. I too am guilty of buying old plastics for collection; but I am allocating all of my funds for MFB now since there is no practical reason to spend absurd amounts of money on stuff that can be beaten easily by equipment at much lower price levels.

I really needed to get that off my chest


PS. Even if I did make the video the people would still rant, and I might be out of a plastic. So that would not be so great a deal for me.
