    So if I understand correctly Hasbro is, single-handedly, responsible for the whole internet, right?
    Man, they really fucked this one up…

      First Beyblade Burst and now the Internet as a whole? What next Hasbro, when will the madness stop?

        What’s wrong with Beyblade Burst ? Shouldn’t you be complaining about Beyblade-X ?

          That’s a take I haven’t heard yet actually. Beyblade X is fantastic and actually super fun in my opinion, which seems to be the general consensus too. It’s way more violent and action-y than any of the older generations. Plus, Hasbro is finally matching the quality of the Japanese releases from Takara Tomy again, unlike their half-assed releases from Burst. If you were able to get your hands on the Takara Tomy version, I’ve heard Burst was a great game with lots of cool gimmicks, but the version Hasbro released had the all quality of a Happy Meal toy.

          Hasbro’s Beyblade Burst releases were terrible, lazy, and designed to maximize profit. Parts made of metal on the Japanese versions were replaced with hollow plastic, rubber was replaced with hollow plastic, and the “drivers” (which should have had all the cool gimmicks built into them for that generation) were replaced with hollow plastic. Even bits that should have been made of solid plastic were replaced with more hollow plastic.

            Interesting, but I don’t get the “Violent” part in Beyblade X ??

              They hit so much harder now than they used to and have a fair bit of weight behind them. When I first got a couple, they broke my old Metal Fusion stadium because it was too thin to handle the recoil. Beyblade X stadiums also have a rail around the perimeter for the gear teeth on the tops to mesh with and launch themselves off of through the center of the arena.

        Yea, so Hasbro owns Wizards of the Coast, which owns Magic The Gathering. One day, a guy that opens packs on camera got accidentally sent a pack from a set that hadn’t been released yet.

        I forget the exact details, but WotC ended up sending some thugs to this guys house to retrieve the merchandise via intimidation, and the company those thugs worked for was related to the Pinkertons from your high school civics textbook. (Like, they had acquired them in a merger or something.)

    Is this a user agreement?

    Can we still break it so that they can disband the internet? IS THERE STILL TIME??
