It's 2011, we have seen plenty of more important products that were released.(Feb. 11, 2011 1:00 AM)Kai-V Wrote:no i know. im just wonderin if any1 else haz seen it. cuz isnt it part of the 2011 line or sumthing?(Feb. 11, 2011 12:51 AM)lightninglibraX Wrote: i just saw a scorpio tournament pack i think. it had the scorpio, but the deck set case was almost seperate. kinda like the saggitario pack. any1 else see it? RE: BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion [HOBBY] - lightninglibraX - Feb. 11, 2011 who said anything about surprising? and i was asking because the rock scorpio was from a previous line so i was wondering if they mite release something like that except with other beys. i was just wondering if any1 has seen it in stores. thats all. i havent seen any other 2011 line toys in stores other than cyber pegasus, so i was thinking if the whole line had been released, just scattered i guess RE: BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion [HOBBY] - BeyPhilosopher - Feb. 11, 2011 I think I know why Hasbro doesn't release boosters. The single packs cost too little to reduce the price again for one bey. Their Keychain Beyblade Line costs under $8.00 (I think), and I don't think they'll want to release normal, customizable beyblade for less then $8.00. Lets just say boosters cost $5.00. Because then, people will just by like 4 boosters and 2 beylaunchers for like $36.00, rather than to buy 4 starters and 2 beylaunchers for $48.00. RE: BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion [HOBBY] - Mc Frown - Feb. 11, 2011 most kids probably dont use their string launchers and the flashlight beyblades are sooooo stupid RE: BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion [HOBBY] - Kai-V - Feb. 11, 2011 (Feb. 11, 2011 2:17 AM)Sequoia Wrote: I think I know why Hasbro doesn't release boosters.

RE: BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion [HOBBY] - lightninglibraX - Feb. 11, 2011 well yeah. the budget for BMF is pretty low so of course that was the motive. because if you think about it, TT has been selling beyblades for a while and its popularity hasnt decreased there as much as it has here, so they can make more money, using boosters. i think ur absolutely rite RE: BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion [HOBBY] - 12345jacob12345 - Feb. 11, 2011 (Feb. 11, 2011 2:17 AM)Sequoia Wrote: I think I know why Hasbro doesn't release boosters.

When they sell boosters, they don't have to spend money with making the ripcords or launchers. So selling the boosters for $5 would give them about the same profit.

How can you even talk about what budget Hasbro has for Beyblade Metal Fusion ? Do you work there ? Takara stopped producing and selling Beyblades during three years just like Hasbro did. Hasbro stopped selling them because Takara announced it first ... Yet TAKARA-TOMY has successfully been selling Boosters since the beginning of everything ... RE: BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion [HOBBY] - lightninglibraX - Feb. 11, 2011 well all im saying is: 1. look at the difference in advertisement budget that Hasbro spends on each toy line. they didnt want to take too huge a risk. 2. compare the advertisement to takara tomy. not as good. 3.even though the material is better that's because of the fact that America is larger and has an abundance of low quality metals. Hasbro even says at some points tht they dnt exactly want to make too large a risk becoz beyblade lost popularity.

First off Beyblade is already an established brand name, everyone knows what they are. Secondly, The anime does the advertising for them. Hell, the anime is what got me into beyblade Metal Fusion. Also, beyblade always sells fast here, people are buying it. After a certain point you don't have to advertise as much. ^^ FFFFFFFFF Good thing I'm moving soon! RE: BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion [HOBBY] - To - Feb. 11, 2011 Anyone know what this: Quote:BEYBLADE EXTREME TOP SYSTEM IR SPIN CONTROL Assortment is? Hasbro's using it as their key Beyblade product for highlight at Toy Fair. It kind of sounds like the old RC tops with a focus on control like Battle Strikers... Guess we'll hopefully find out this weekend. Anyways, I have some news, that I hope Kai-V won't tell me is old: [Image: RDvY6.png] [Image: RDjzO.png] Metal Masters logo is slick. (Feb. 11, 2011 3:30 AM)lightninglibraX Wrote: well all im saying is: As Kai-V mentioned before, you don't know their advertising budget. Even if it is smaller than say a Transformers, who's to say it's less than Takara Tomy's? You don't live in Japan to say that. I've seen the Rick Anderson style commercial multiple times on children's TV channels alongside the broadcast of the anime, which as mentioned before, is an advertisement itself. RE: BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion [HOBBY] - Kai-V - Feb. 11, 2011 Ah, no, that is new. The logo is ... redundant. RE: BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion [HOBBY] - To - Feb. 11, 2011 I don't actually believe Galaxy Pegasus is part of the logo. I got that, and the slide above from a Hasbro powerpoint, and I think they were simply showing off their part of the brand (the toys). RE: BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion [HOBBY] - Amaterasu - Feb. 11, 2011 OH MY GOD THANK YOU HASBRO FOR MAKING TATOOED FACES YEAH YEAH YEAH YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry just so happy and new electronic xts tops sounds suspicios RE: BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion [HOBBY] - Omega12 - Feb. 11, 2011 Knowing Hasbro, that will: A: Be the only tatooed face B: Did not make that and it was simply just from a powerpoint C: Elbows My vote is for C.

The actual logo is very redundant though, nothing special ... RE: BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion [HOBBY] - Temporal - Feb. 12, 2011 RC MFBs? If that is true, and they are metal...Well, hence the $30 price tag. RE: BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion [HOBBY] - To - Feb. 12, 2011 Nice piece on how Beyblade's doing for Hasbro: Quote:The ongoing first quarter will suffer as a result of inventory that's too high both in Hasbro's factories and at retails, both domestically and abroad. Thomas said Hasbro expects "momentum" to begin next quarter, momentum it expects will drive top-line and bottom-line growth this year, reversing a year-over-year dip in 2010 that it reported on Monday. RE: BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion [HOBBY] - Kai-V - Feb. 12, 2011 We are too cool for Hasbro. RE: BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion [HOBBY] - Temporal - Feb. 12, 2011 Meaning that Hasbro is willing to put in more work to empty the warehouses?

REV UP THOSE ROBOTS CUZ I SURE AM READY FOR SOME BEYBLADES! RE: BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion [HOBBY] - Evan - Feb. 12, 2011 Does this explain why I still haven't seen a Burn Fireblaze hahaha Just kidding everyone, the legend series is popping up around here. I do notice a lot of store shelves very empty tho. |
