Beyblades are back! Did they ever go away? Who knows? Who cares? The point is your boys are nagging you for Beyblade toys and here you are looking for the right gift! Well if your boys are new to Beyblades then the Beyblade Metal Masters Triple Battle set is a good place to start.
If you don’t understand what all the fuss is about when it comes to Beyblade then you certainly have Tommy’s sympathy. Trying to explain to a grown up why boys love these Beyblade toys can lead to a look of bewilderment from even the most sensitive adult. The only way to truly understand is to get deep inside the mind of an 8 to 12 year old boy and frankly Tommy’s Toys doesn’t think that’s something any of us should try and do!
Beyblade Metal Masters Toys
Here are the basics – Beyblades is an anime cartoon that was originally in comic book form and then a TV series and began back 2000. The characters in the series are a bunch of kids who get into teams and battle one another with powerful spinning tops called Beys. The Beyblade toys were released at the same time as the TV series and the cynics amongst you might think that the whole thing is just some sort of marketing ploy…Tommy couldn’t possibly comment! So over the years the TV series and the Beyblades spinning toy tops have evolved and the Beyblade toy tops are now really quite sophisticated. However you can’t escape the simple fact that all they do is spin round and bump into each other until there’s only one left spinning; and that, my friends, is the winner.
Beyblade Metal Tops
Tommy does concede that these tops have been very well designed and look cool, certainly a lot cooler than marbles. Consequently it isn’t just about playing with these toys it’s about collecting them and having the latest most fashionable Beyblade top. Some boys like to collect Pokémon cards others love their Beyblades.
If your boys are new to Beyblades then your best bet is to buy them a simple Beyblade battle set to start them off, because not all boys will be into them. Tommy won’t go into the difference between Beyblade Metal Masters, Beyblade Metal Fusion or any of the other Beyblade options. If you want to fry your brain with the details then head over to Wikipedia. All you need to know is that as of autumn 2011 this is the best introductory Beyblade battle set for your money.
What do you get with the Beyblade Metal Masters Triple Battle Set?
The Beyblade Triple Battle set comes with two of the most popular Beyblade tops, the Galaxy Pegasus and the Meteo L-Drago, two Beyblade rip pull launches to start the tops spinning and the Beyblade stadium, or Beystadium arena, which has three different “battle cores”. These battle cores allow you to change the floor of the battle stadium which in turn affects the way the Beyblade tops behave when they’re spinning.
The Beyblade battle stadium isn’t the largest and it’s questionable just how useful the different floor pieces are, but remember this is a great set for introducing your kids to Beyblades. If they love them then you can find out more about the different stadiums, storage units and dozens of different tops available…lucky you!
