They're little multicolored gyroscopes shaped like saw blades that you drop into a bowl and see whch one stops first. I used to think they were cool when I was younger, but then I realized they were insanely overpriced for the quality you got and then I quit.

same here.

But they where fun somehow. I remember me and my friends "played" it on the schoolyard many years ago.

CROSHFIRA
DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN IT

*Isn't old enough, just watched Board James (AVGN's board game reviews). Then again, there was something similar in the house that used discs. It was also as big as hell. And had it's own version of pool. I do not remember the name*

Great game!

I had the gereric knock off called "Sonic Zoomers," which, in retrospect, sounds like some 60's porno flick. The last time I played it, a disc somehow took flight and hit me in the eye. My parents then donated it to the salvation army, where it could murder more poor, helpless eyeballs of children.

Beyblades? Oh yeah, those spinning top things. Had 2, dragoon ( generic name is generic ) and some red one that I never found the name off. Was awsome though, and I would always win the comps at my old school ( my old school actually supported fads like that ). I have watched the whole series, and have the game on the VBA ( which is frankly, crap).

I have a whole box full of little rip-off version of beyblades that I got for 5 cents a pack. A pack came with 3 little beyblades, a lolli pop and a launcher. Also had a chance to get a golden or silver rare ones. Out of the IDk how many packets I opened ( I bought the shops entire stock of it ) but only managed to get one gold one. Some of the spinning things are quite powerful, some can even fly out of the arena and bounce off the walls of my house :P

Post by: Pwnator on February 12, 2010, 03:43:36 AM
I had tons of them stuffed in my tool box and they were all gifts from relatives. I like one particular Beyblade - it was a custom all-metal one with spheres of flint glued to the ends of the disc. Then I manually sharpened the blades to make it look more badass. Then it became more badass when I painted it in chrome. But I was 8 or something back then, so I was kinda inexperienced in hands-on stuff, so I accidentally painted the flint in chrome as well. :P

Wow. Forgot about MEGA BLOKS. These construction block companies really like to go out of their area.

Looking at LEGO Technic and Bionicle.. they really like to stray away from their roots don't they?

I used to have a bunch of these, as well as two arenas. I cut a hole in the middle of one of them, and thus I had a two-floor arena. All of mine were custom. On one of them, the tab broke off the bottom of the tob and i replaced it with a tiny bolt so it was lower and could get under other tops. Like everyone else here, though, I was around 8 or 9 years old at the time.

Still have these somewhere, might have to dig them out.

I modified the launchers to have a longer launch chain (what do you call that? the plastic rack that you pull?) to get a higher speed. In retrospect it did almost nothing.

I used to play with Beyblades back in junior high. There were a bunch of us that would all gather in one classroom every morning and have battles. I was the school Beyblade champion, thanks to my modified Beyblade. It was originally a store-bought Beyblade that I had bought off of a friend with a bunch of extra parts for like $5, but I had modified it so I could put two of the weight rings in it. This gave it just enough power and momentum to beat even the most expensive stock Beyblade. I may still have the thing around here somewhere. I also built a second one just like it, but it self-destructed during a battle.

used to do nothing else then battle with beyblades when i was way younger. from different stock parts i actually made something that was able to win somewhat everything on my school. one battle one of the two points broke off as it had gotten quite a lot of beatings, it only made it stronger.

some months ago i found my whole set with a lot of parts and me and some friends got fighting. battles can be pretty insane. and one of my other attackrings got a big bit broken off by my old mass winning beyblade. kinda funny.

Gaytimes are meant to be read as happy times....

That definition isn't used that way often anymore....
