To take advantage in a complete Zero G Bey Battle, bladers will need...
BBG-05 Zero G Light Launcher &
BBG-07 Zero G Launcher Grip
The Zero G Light Launcher
Similar to the default Zero G Compact Launcher that comes with BBG-01 Samurai Ifraid, The Zero G Light Launcher is a Ripcord based gear launcher.
The major difference is that it is designed to launch downwards from a upstanding angle position as the New Zero G Stadium requires the Beys to be launched from the top down into the stadium.
The Zero G Light Launcher comes with an in-built 'Grip' section and angled like a pistol grip for comfort in holding. (a little short for my hand though)
The Launcher also has 5 rotational rev, 1 time more than the Compact Launcher which has 4 rotational rev. But it does not really do any different when comapared to the Rev-up or Beylauncher where both have higher revs by default.
The Zero G Launcher Grip
The New Launcher Grip comes in two parts, the Handle Grip and the Compact Launcher Clip.
The Clip fits the Compact Launcher snugly using a 'twist-lock' system instead of a 'flip-clip' from the past seasons.
To attach, twist the lock to 'open' position and the 'Grip tabs' below will be opened for the Compact Launcher's (Stone FaceBolt Tightener) part to fit in.
To Lock, just twist the lock switch back to 'lock' position and you are ready to go.
The Compact Launcher when attached to the Grip, is positioned at a much lower position and away from the bladers fingers. This design is also to incorperate the 'Top Launched' Zero G Stadium design.
It can also attach past released attachments like LED Sights, Compass, Grip Rubber, Grip Extension, Grip Support... and so on.
The Handle Grip portion is similar to the past 3 Segment Launcher and can fit with the past 3 Seg Card Holder and the Zero G Light Launcher. It unfortunately CANNOT fit with the BeyPointer Clip from the second season.
Overall, the Zero G Launcher and Launcher Grip are additional accessories to aid bladers in a better game. Though will be looking forward to future (String based) launchers hopefully.
Not in the official release series of Beyblade Stadium Sets

The highlight of this Stadium Set has to be the Rev Up Launchers.
Intially introduced by Hasbro USA, the Rev Up Launcher made its popularity online quickly due to its proven high Revolution Per Minute (RPM) levels, almost double to triple a normal Beylauncher speed.
Fits with the conventional Bey Launcher Grip handles (Left or Right handed)
Unlike the Beylauncher which depends mostly on torque of the ripcord, the Rev Up works more on the momentumn of the charging gear within its body, so strength is not needed when pulling the Ripcord.
After loading the Bey in the usual catch hooks, the Blader is required to 'Charge' the Bey, this is done so by pulling the ripcord 'LIGHTLY' 3/4 of the full string length, Releasing it back and Repeat again. In the advice tutorial, the Blader is reccomended to pul the 'Charge' upon the "3,2,1, Go" count 4 times.
To Launch, SHARPLY press down the buttom beside the Spin Gauge, the charged Bey should drop from the launcher. Sounds easy? this launcher takes a few hours to get used to due to its low need for speed and torque when pulling the ripcord. Conventional users will find themselves over pulling, or pulling the ripcord too fast causing the gears in the Rev Up Launcher to 'Crack' badly normally resulting in a pre-charged bad launch or late launch. So a little warning for those who wants to use this for competitions, PRACTICE until you can do a 100% perfect launch according to the (charge, charge, charge, Charge - Launch) techique in line with the (3,2,1 Go - Shoot)
Overall, the recolored BigBang Pegasus and Fang Leone are great additions to any collectors stash. The Rev Up Launchers are cool but not reccomended for Bladers who are 'Power Launchers', will be better for Newer and Younger Bladers as they are less agressive and strong. Either than that, it takes some practice to ba able to use this for any tournaments. The Set is a good to have but not a must to get.
