Beyblade Metal Masters Triple Battle Set
A Game of Customizable Battle Tops

For those who are unfamiliar, Beyblade is a twenty-first-century reinvention of the classic game, "Battling Tops." The game is adapted from a wildly popular manga and TV series, "Beyblade," in which characters pit high-tech tops (called "Beys") against one another in staged battles. To play the game, players begin by revving up their tops with a rip-cord launcher. They then release the tops into an arena, where the tops collide and knock each other off balance. The last top left spinning wins the game.

Much like the tops in the TV show, Beyblade tops are fully customizable. Each top features five separate components that can be taken apart and recombined with pieces from other tops. The trick is to build a top that has all the qualities necessary to outlast your opponent. You can build an "attack" top that strikes with extreme force, a "defense" top that deflects attacks, or a "stamina" top that can keep spinning for long periods of time. With hundreds of different top combinations possible, this game lets you can create a distinct battling style of your own.

Two Popular Beyblade Tops

The Triple Battle Set comes with two of the most popular Beyblade tops: the Galaxy Pegasus and the Meteo L-Drago. The Galaxy Pegasus is a classic attack-style top, which uses aggressive maneuvering to knock down opponent tops. It has a fiery red-and-blue design and sports a Pegasus emblem at the center. The Meteo L-Drago, meanwhile, is a more unconventional top: it spins counterclockwise and features hooks that grab opponent tops. With its metallic gold-and-silver finish and intimidating dragon emblem, the L-Drago is highly sought after by collectors.

Both tops are constructed out of metal and have a solid and hefty feel. Our testers had some difficulty snapping apart the various components of the tops. However, with a little bit of adult assistance, children should have no problem disassembling and rebuilding their tops.

Unique Arena for Thrilling Beyblade Battles

The Triple Battle Set also includes a gear-shaped battle stadium that has been specifically designed for Beyblade battles. Made out of hardy plastic, the stadium has a concave design that naturally directs each top towards the center. It comes with three different "battle cores" that can be installed at the center of the stadium, and each influence the battle in different ways. There is a "Zip" core, which forces tops into a straight line of movement. A "Chaos" core causes tops to move unpredictably, and a "Deflector" core sends tops circling into their opponents. The cores add strategic depth to the game and should help keep battles fresh and exciting.

Strategic, Educational Fun

Playing with Beyblades involves both strategy (selecting which top components to use) and skill (launching the tops properly). The game will have players exercising their creative muscles, as they try to come up with new strategies for winning. It could even foster an early interest in engineering, as it encourages kids to find out why certain top components work well together. Overall, this is a fun, constructive toy for younger and older kids alike.

3.0 out of 5 stars Love Beyblade, but the stadium's no fun..., September 28, 2011

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
My 9 year-old son is a huge Beyblade fan. He has more than a dozen tops and a couple of stadiums, and has had hours of fun over the last year customizing his Beys and battling with his friends. Needless to say, we were very excited to get this new Triple Battle Set. Unfortunately, it hasn't been as enjoyable as we hoped.

The two exclusive Beys included with this set, Galaxy Pegasus and Meteo L-Drago, are fantastic. Pegasus spins right, while L-Drago spins left, making for some spectacular battling action. I was pleased to see that this season's tops have been redesigned to eliminate some of last year's less desirable features. There's no easy-to-destroy rubber tip on the bottom of Pegasus anymore, and the stickers that used to be put on top of the Beys and rippers have been replaced by screen printed character logos. These Beys can spin long and hard, and we love them.

The problem? The stadium isn't really much fun. In theory, it's designed with three... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A great addition to their Bey collection, September 3, 2011
This review is from: Beyblade Metal Masters Triple Battle Set (Toy)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
My kids are seven and ten. They have been collecting Beyblade for more than a year. Between them, this is their third stadium and I can't count how many Beys. They love the Beys from this Triple Battle Set. According to them, the new Beys spin faster and attack more than their other Beys. They claim it's the new tips on the bottom that help do this. Of course, combining this with their other Beys is so much fun.

My daughter loves the new stadium, because it comes with interchangeable plates for the floor that cause the Beys to spin more wildly. My son doesn't like that feature. He says it disrupts the spin. (I know, that's the point!) However, he is fighting to keep it, so I'm not sure how much he actually dislikes it. It is a small stadium, but there's plenty of room for battle.

UPDATE: I've played the Beys on different stadiums with my children, including the one in this triple battle set. I don't agree with them that... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A Blast for a Pre-teen boy, October 27, 2011

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
I applied to review this product because my son loves Beyblades. For those who don't know, Beyblades are tops that use a rip cord to get them to spin. There are four different types of Beyblades (and actually dozens of different Beyblade tops within the four categories) that are cast and calibrated for endurance or to attack. This game is based on the anime movies and TV series (yes, my son religiously watches the show).

This triple battle set was a godsend for my son. His first words, when he saw it, was "This was just on TV!" He immediately played with it. The set comes with a stadium in which the Beyblades spin in a battle (two or more people ideally play this game as the goal is to have your Beyblade the last to stop spinning). With this stadium comes three center circles, each with a different patterned impression. This means you can spin the same Beyblades with with different stadii to get different results. Two Beyblades come with this kit.
