CoroCoro Feb Issue~

Collected the Feburary issue of CoroCoro Comic Yesternite.


Here are some interesting pages with Beyblade information~


There is a fold-out page featuring the 3rd America team Maximum Bey - Basalt Horogium.
BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD is a Right Spin Bey.
The article states that the MW(Metal Wheel) is Solid right up to the Left/Right Locking Column and its weight makes it "impossible" to flip. Tilting it in the process making will make the Basalt MW execute a "Smash Attack". The design on the MW also eliminates any "catching" of other MW increasing its defence and stamina.
(Basalt Horogium is soft released at the World Hobby Fair on the 16th January 2011, actual retail release will be on 19th Feb.)


Introducing the next Maximum series Bey, BB-102 Screw Capricone 90MF~!
With a strong Upper Attack of the Screw MW making it the "Maximum Upper" Bey.
New Bottom MF - Metal Flat allows Screw Capricone to have a longer spin attack ratio, Increasing its Screw Upper Attacks~!
Also featured below is the next CoroCoro exclusive Bey, Mercury Anubis 85RF Brave Ver.


A full two page on possible Bey configurations with the new series beys~


Issue Comes with Free Hell Kerbecs Weight Boost Hard Rock Stickers~!
The stickers apparently are added to the under sides of the Hell Kerbecs parts CW(Clear Wheel) and MW to increase Weight, Stamina and Balance. (by 3.2 grams to be exact)
The stickers are allowed in the competitions as it is approved by WBBA, mentioned in the article.


A schedule page on whats coming for the WHF(World Hobby Fair).
Besides the soft release of the BB-104 Basalt Horogium, Bladers can try their luck in a point battle where each winning player will be given a scratch ticket which allows them to win a Limited WBBA Burn Phoenix 90WF Blizzard Ver.


Event also features a New Bey Stadium - DX Fighting Battle Stadium!
Its a new stadium that is so big it can have 6 Beys battling in one go!
Will be released after WHF and comes with 90 Track and WF bottom.


And of course the long anticipated "Big Bang Metal Wheel" prototype! (Love the Wing design~)
The Big Bang MW belong to an all new Pegasis rendition which is also known as the "Reborn" of the Pegasis as the Galaxy got Destroyed in the battle with Hell Kerbecs.


Some Manga shots of the New Big Bang Pegasis, and Ginga shooting it off WITH HIS HAND!!!!!FTW


The prototype of the new "Fusion Bottom" - 'Genesis' is also featured.
the fusion bottom is basically a combine "track" and "bottom" single part.
the "Genesis" Bottom is a switch type where SF(Semi Flat) can be Retracted to become a RF(Rubber Flat) it is still not known if this is an Automatic system or Manual.
More details will be out Next issue and also the New Pegasis 3 CW(Clear Wheel) Prototype.

Next Issue, Meteo Ldrago versus Basalt Horogium (Possible Upgrade for Ryuga's Bey! Meteo to Amageddon perhaps? LOL)

Cerberus Reunion?

I have wanted to do this ever since i got Hell Kerbecs XD


The "old skool" Burning Cerberus meets "New skool" Hell Kerbecs~


Since i got them together...
3,2,1 Go Shoot! (let 'em rip!)


Around 6 seconds later...
I guess i think too much, LOL


The rest of my "old skool" collection, its a waste that i wasn't financially added at that point of time to buy more of them. Would definitely love to collect all of them, if not all the dragoon series~


My old BeyLauncher and Competition Bey sure bring back fond memories of the old Bey days. Now to kind of think of it, I should have gotten the whole Spring Suspension, LED scope and Handle Grip last time na :(


And for those who might still have this BeyLauncher Grip, heads up~!
The old grip can actually hold the "Light BeyLauncher" and "BeyLauncher 2" quite stable actually. But sadly, you can't use it for official tournaments.

Maybe i should start playing with the "old skool" beys ya~ lol

BB-101 Grip Support

Part 2 of the japan stash~


BB-101 Grip Support
Or what i would call a "grip extension".



The Grip Support is attached to the bottom end of the Beylauncher Grip after the bottom tool cap is removed.

The add on lengthens the grip part by a whole 5cm (50mm) making it easier to grab on to the handle when doing a sliding shoot. Batteries can also be inserted into the 'Grip Support' extension to counter balance when a heavy bey is on the launching end.



Now my BeyLauncher looks like a fishing rod of some kind, LOL

BB-99 Hell Kerbecs BD145DS

Yes, the long wait is over and its finally here!!!


2nd Bey from the Maximum series, BB-99 Hell Kerbecs BD145DS!


Contents in the package~


Hell metal wheel (50mm dia), Kerbecs clear wheel and Face.


Boost Disk track (50mm dia) and Defense Sharp bottom.


Size Comparison with Storm Pegasus 105RF


Boost Mode (Left) and Normal Mode.

Mori Test Review

Good and Bad news to bladers i might say, although all that positive reviews and demo of the Hell Kerbecs, it is Not really invincible. Lightning Ldrago in default 100HF configuration can still kick this heavy Bey (Almost 50+grams) out of the stadium with some good launching techniques.

The 'Normal mode' isn't fantastic and Defense Sharp bottom tilt level is too much, causing the Boost Disk to hit the stadium when launched too high up. Having a Wide Defence or Metal Ball bottom will definitely boost the usage of this mode much better. Any bey caught in the "gap" between the metal wheel and the boost disk will be countered quite badly and most of the time be knocked out of the stadium.

The 'Boost mode' on the other hand, is not as stable as expected, although it having a sharp orientated bottom. The plus point in this mode will have to be the fact that the track Boost Disk "combines" with the Hell metal wheel creating a "shield" which prevents opponents to directly hit the Hell Metal Wheel, thus reducing recoil and sluggishness. Stamina Up!

Besides the Lightning Ldrago, Hell Kerbecs Boost Mode can almost easily win over most beys in their original configurations. Mostly due to the Boost Disk and nature of its weight distribution. I would say Hell Kerbecs BD145DS might be the next Earth Aquila 145WD. I guess we will be seeing a lot of this Bey in the upcoming Japan Tournaments.

Japan Beyblade Loot~!!!

More stuff from japan just came in XD
