My trip to MEGA Brands - Bey Brad - Aug. 05, 2009
It's 4 AM here in Montreal and I just woke up and am too excited to get back to sleep, so hopefully writing a bit will tire me out!
For those of you who don't know, MEGA Brands has flown me here to their offices to try out Battle Strikers in person and get some feedback from me. After a pretty long flight all I really had time or energy for was dinner, so I went out with Jess -- whom you all know as "ambassador" -- and two other people working on the Battle Strikers product, Craig and Annalisa. Unfortunately I don't have much interesting to say except that everyone was really nice and I had a lot of fun! I do have one story to share that they mentioned to me, though.
Evidently, at a brainstorming session for a limited edition Battle Striker, someone on the team very seriously suggested they release a leopard print Striker. "And we could call it ... Cougar! Little boys love cougars!"
I hope you find this story as infinitely entertaining as I did.
Tomorrow I'll be going to MEGA HQ to play Battle Strikers. They'll be showing me some stuff that I won't be allowed to share with you guys, but whatever I am allowed to share, I'll make sure I do.

Quote of the Day and quite possibly the year. Wow.
Glad you're having fun, better be ready to give us the low-down on Battle Strikers. I hope the magnet control system is actually good on the "high control" types.

Nice to hear you're having fun.
It is incredibly hard to refrain from making cougar jokes.
RE: My trip to MEGA Brands - Bey Brad - Aug. 05, 2009

Blahh im jealous.... Not really. Novatel in Adelaide is probably better. 
Its great your having fun.
RE: My trip to MEGA Brands - Minion - Aug. 05, 2009
Pumped up, or jet lagged?
It's comforting to know that they're making more tops, I was kind of worried they were going to stop after the initial 16.
It's so cool that you get to do this, mega brands seriously has it together as a toy company. Seeing them actually seeking input from their customer base is so refreshing. I wonder if it's because they're Canadian haha
RE: My trip to MEGA Brands - Ominous - Aug. 05, 2009
Khel, I should take you hunting.
RE: My trip to MEGA Brands - Rocky - Aug. 05, 2009
All you need to do now is get them to make a gothic floral Striker and you're all set.

RE: My trip to MEGA Brands - theflightyellz - Aug. 05, 2009
"Little boys love cougars!"
lmao.
It'll be cool to hear what we can about it, hoping they'll ask you about changes to future tops (since a few matters such as materials, and shape have been brought up as problems)
