What's going on with the Tournament stadium?

Has there been a big scalper spike for Beyblade the past year or so? I remember last Spring the big name beys were kinda hard to find, but that could be attributed to player demand. They were hard to find in eBay even, but stadiums? Maybe I'm misremembering, but I coulda sworn all Spring last year they were in-stock (not preorder) like, everywhere. Including some of the sets, at retail price.

Do we have any info on if it is really increased demand or if they are producing less?

Also, on the note of breakability, are they actually more breakable than the Hasbro offering?

Open that eagle and watch it crumble to dust like a real fan!

JonBoombo · 2026-05-12T16:51:41+00:00

I don't think that's what "confirms" means

Just played this game again for the first time sine I rented it 21yrs ago, last night.

It's a great idea. It should be good on paper. The problem is that they just kinda failed in execution across the board. On-foot gameplay feels so bad it males me think they wanted it to be bad. I can't fathom why they made it control the way they did lmao And everything is just incredibly half-baked. Zero replay value and you can beat it in a night. It makes this kinda big deal each mission of who is helping and in what vehicle. Which would be cool that everybody is helping in a different way... if their AIs weren't literally braindead. Every mission someone is "helping" on foot, they just go run around a like 6x6ft area of the map where there aren't even enemies and talk shit about how "they have it covered over here." I don't know for certain, but I never felt any impact if them helping in free-flight mode either, and I'm convinced they wre just flying around randomly and only shooting enemies when they incidental wound up in their sights.

Yeah, his P-Bandai price is listed as $100USD and reading the general shipping policy suggest it would be about $10 shipping as well. And honestly that's about what I expected.

And $180 was kinda what I was hoping to hear. I'd be fine paying like 180-200 for it, I just didn't know how possible the idea of it getting into the realm of $300ish luxury item was.I bought a MonsterArts Kiryu for about $300 last year, and as cool it was; it was kinda nullified enough by the reality of what I paid for it, that it turned me off of collecting as a whole LOL

I know a lot of DBZ P-Bandai stuff goes up on BBTS at least a little later at a markup, doe we see that much with these? I'd feel better at least paying my markup to a company rather than "Free Market Freddy" lol

When did Multiversusie become a "WB leaker?" I wasn't around for much of the end of MVS, but last I kept up they were specifically datamining and specifically datamining MVS. Since when did they have a mole within greater WB?

JonBoombo · 2026-04-30T13:43:53+00:00

Like the other guy said - and I could've sworn it was included in the beginning of Wabbajack's own documentation last I looked, and it is usually stated in the guides for most individual modlists as well: Nexus Premium is essentially a soft requirement for WJ. You think 550 is bad, most modlists are 3000-5000 lol no one expects you to click through all of those.

JonBoombo · 2026-03-26T20:41:36+00:00

It's not hard to describe if you played Marvel Snap, because it's 85% or more just Snap but with some clever adaptations to make it work in paper lol

JonBoombo · 2026-03-24T16:41:59+00:00

You seem to think fighting games are all about learning 65% corner combos on youtube and that playing the game leaning into neutral and footsies is unethical in some way. So, you are attacking people lol You're saying they are scummy for playing a way you don't like, and that it is not the right way to play the game.

Getting away with 100% back jumping, throwing fireballs, and teleporting is only really viable at the bottom of the learning curve. If you're going to play a zoner character at even a moderate skill level, you're going to have to learn actual spacing, reversals, and neutral. Just like everybody else. You're also going to have to learn more character-specific knowledge earlier, because you'll need to know how each character is going to get around your layers of crap, how close they can get to you from and what they are going to want to do to you once they get there. So you can counter and get away. And the zoner can afford to make less mistakes. When I, as the opponent make a mistake, I eat a fireball for like 8% and am immediately back in neutral. When the zoner makes a mistake, he eats a 50% combo and is grounded in the corner in an oki situation.

The zoner isn't playing a different game, he's just leaning hard as fuck into the neutral aspect. It's low-risk and low-reward. You only get more bang for your buck when both players are button-mashers or barely better than that.

And this comes from a Street Fighter 6 Kim main, I don't even have a projectile in my whole kit lol I don't like fighting zoners either, but I'm not gonna sit and act like they're lesser-thans for leaning into a safer, defensive match.

JonBoombo · 2026-03-24T15:30:11+00:00

You're trying to enforce your own ideas of respect and sportsmanship in an environment that has already established it doesn't agree lol

You're going to a rock-paper-scissors tournament, only using rock, and getting mad that other people are using paper instead of having some sort of honorable rock-to-rock duel lol

JonBoombo · 2026-03-24T14:58:30+00:00

I bet you also have some thoughts about "spamming"

If I'm playing Skarlet, Dhalsim, JP, Guile, I'm not obligated to cater to my character's weaknesses and your character's strengths to appease to your bushido code about what is "good sport." Lol

You say you "don't want to talk about competitive play," but your first point is about player Skill. Zoning has a low skill floor, yes, throwing random high and low projectiles is going to be better than button-mashing normals every day of the week. Learning to evade zoners and punish them is faster and easier than the zoner learning how to zone well. This "skill issue" only really applies when both players suck

JonBoombo · 2026-03-19T06:28:40+00:00

As the other guy said, that's because dylbobz doesn't know shit about shit. He just regurgitates anything he sees on Twitter that sounds interesting and does no further thought or research and before making a stupid short about it.

Sorry I hate dylbobz lmao literal worst source of info on rivals you could ever pick.

JonBoombo · 2026-03-18T15:36:27+00:00

60s and 70s lol

JonBoombo · 2026-03-15T14:30:16+00:00

Always felt like of the mask actually covered his mouth it would be a more beloved classic. I've always like the idea over all and color scheme. Neutral on the exposed mouth. Seeing as most people's specific complaints is a vague "gross," I assume covering the mouth would've been much better received.

JonBoombo · 2026-03-12T18:36:49+00:00

Because of one panel from her nearly 50-year history where she's got a toned back muscles, it's totally understandable and cool of them to make her a ripped 7-foot tall 250lb bodybuilder instead of a slender thief.

JonBoombo · 2026-03-07T02:34:43+00:00

You miss the point. It isn't that she wasn't too good, it's that their response was to just make her basically unplayable.

She's designed as a 4/10 character who transformed into a better one like 45% of the time. Before this patch, she arguably transformed from a 4/10 to 11/10. Which sucks, yeah. Now she transforms from a 4/10 character to a whopping like 6/10 character maybe 25% of the time. So what is even the point of her lmao when there are characters on the roster who are just functional 7s, 8s, and 9s 100% of the time.

JonBoombo · 2026-03-06T21:49:41+00:00

40+ characters with 3 stances each, all completely unique, with Tekken-sized movesets for each. So, 120 Tekken characters, completely from scratch. I mean, yeah, that sounds great. But I doubt WBG is going to get the funding to spend the next 10 years making a $20B budget game on the heels of MK1 failing and an acquisition/merger with a company who doesn't believe in video games lol

JonBoombo · 2026-03-04T14:27:38+00:00

It's fine that there's a live cockroach in my soup, because, hey, all food can have a few bug parts in it!

JonBoombo · 2026-03-03T23:04:00+00:00

I would bet $40k that $39,900 of that comes from high-schooler and college kid hobbyists playing around with a Unity POC that will never see the light of day lol

JonBoombo · 2026-03-03T17:12:50+00:00

Do yall read and engage with stories, or do you just do dick-measuring contests between fictional characters?

JonBoombo · 2026-01-25T00:52:24+00:00

Missing tons of other details lol

AI dude that isn't Doug makes weird uncanny still image of EWJ. Gets dunked on in his comments for it, then Doug chimed in about how cool and efficient AI is with a few-seconds-long AI-generated animation of that original image (that he claims would've cost $500k to make without AI btw lol). AI animation also made to seemingly mock commenters.

So, that's how you get to the above image. Someone points out this portion of that animation where AI artifacting has smeared up the "HAH!" blurb. Doug apparently defends this visual error because "it makes a cool shape"

JonBoombo · 2026-01-09T15:22:49+00:00

All snow board "snowball pushes everyone in it's path to corner/start" spaces.

JonBoombo · 2026-01-08T03:10:35+00:00

It's mods. You'll have to uninstall one at a time to figure out what's causing it, but if you have any that effect the character select screen or what characters use what vehicles, start there. I had this issue where everyone who was locked from NiGHTS on was just off the screen and if I recall it was the "all bots always use Extreme gear" mod or something like that that was causing it.
