Beyblades

Remember those? The tops that you put into the plastic arena in an attempt to stop the other from spinning? Similarly to Yu-Gi-Oh, if you could ignore the horridly-dubbed TV show, it wasn't all that bad. The show got canceled though, and around that time I stopped playing with them. I recently found the old shoebox I kept them in, and, being in a position in need of cash, I recalled that tournament I entered in with them about two years ago with the cash prize of $75. Anyone know if they still do those? Because my old custom designs are still intact, and I actually made it pretty far in the aforementioned cash prize tourney, and I figure I could tinker around and make something to win a few local tourneys if they still have them.

Oooh, I think I still have the main guy's launcher thing, with electronic stuff and everything. Man, those things were sweeeet.

 

As for your question though, I doubt they still have tournaments or whatever, seeing as the show's lost its popularity a long time ago...

I so wanted one of those when I was younger.

Ooh, that brings back good memories. I remember back in third or fourth grade, we used to play with these all the time. I always lost, though. :P

Hehehehe.... we make sparks with those things. :D

 

I had the aiming launcher, with the pointer that the kid with the turtle thing used.

I remember playing those with my dad all the time. No brothers or sisters and they didn't make anything that you could launch two disks with or did they?

Me and a friend of mine bought out a Kmart (Target?) full of them when they went on clearance. It was AWESOME

Gah, the fact that my brother and I didn't lose any eyes to those things was amazing.

 

I never knew that they did tournaments.....neat.

Good times. I remember launching them off the balcony onto my trampoline, and watch them slam into the springy platform and get launched into the air about five feet. The battles I had were legendary since I designed some great 'blades. My friend actually got his dad to build a custom weight for his.
