Question

Weird ask, but I’m sure some of you are knowledgeable in this area: Beyblades My 5 year old boys want them. I. don’t get it. They are just spinning tops right? Why are some a bazillion dollars? I don’t even know what to order them there are so many “kinds”? ‍♀️. Thanks for helping a clueless mom out!  

Answer 1

McDonald currently has them as the happy meal toy

@gunderson that’s what spurred this new interest. ‍♀️.

Same, Audrey. And I just asked a very similar question of my own friends list last week. Darn you, McD’s!  

Answer 2

There’s like a battle arena that you can buy where multiple beyblades can battle

Answer 3

My son asked for the same for his 7th birthday! My parents even asked if he wanted a new video game instead and he said no. It is literally a plastic "stadium" and a metal top "beyblade" which hooks onto a spinner. I still dont understand his obsession with it. ‍♀️

Answer 4

My son is 9 And obsessed!  

Answer 5

We got my 5 year old some for Christmas. He can’t get the hang of spinning them, specifically releasing them from the spinner thingy. He was getting so frustrated. So we packed them away and we’ll try again in 6 months or so.

Same experience with my 5 year old!  

Answer 6

@rese13171 how do you play with them? Just spin them? Do you have to get that battle arena thing?  

---

There are couple different ones I think, but mine have this.  my little plays by himself and bae blades battle between themselves or he plays with his brother. There are some kind of points if one spins longer, if another bursts and etc:)) have a video of little one playing but it’s almost 2 mins long, can’t figure out how to cut shorter.  

Answer 7

Does he want our happy meal toy ones? My kids played all of two minutes and won’t miss them.

---

@hypnology25426 ok sounds good!

@mclaughlin3846 I’d take Amy leftover

Answer 8

Idk, but my 16 year old and his friends dug his out and have been having competitions with them. There are different stadiums, I have no idea how they play with them, but they are entertaining apparently!  

Answer 9

Kids know it and figure it out. I had no idea what he was given by us and family operated differently, I thought it was just different colors, but they do.  

Answer 10

My 6yr son discovered them at daycare and has been obsessed since age 4. The cool thing he has discovered are the 36 options to connect some beys to the bet blade app and play with them virtually as well as live. Idk why but he loves them!  

Answer 11

Every beyblade is designed different to battle in different ways my 14 year old has like 50

Answer 12

My 9 1/2 yr old is obsessed with Beyblades. There are different brands so depending on which brand you get, depends on the cost. If you get the ones at Target or Walmart they are more reasonably priced. There’s a brand my son can find on Amazon, but in my opinion they are over priced. He plays with his all the time, either by himself or with friends. Sometimes he wants me to play with him as well.  

Answer 13

My boys are 9, 7, and 5, and they all play with them. There is an arena where two beyblades battle. There is also a show. To start, I would say get him an arena and two beyblades with launchers.  

Answer 14

Once stores open again, Five Below has them.  

Answer 15

There are various stadiums and each beyblade has its own “skills”. Some are faster, tougher, etc. You battle and whichever breaks first loses. Target and amazon have them in sale frequently.  

Answer 16

They are like tops and my boys love them although when they asked for them (and still do) refer to them as babe legs ! We get quite the kick out it! ❤️❤️

Answer 17

I have three boys and seasoned in Beyblade speak  They have different stamina and power and they have a ton and use them a lot. Just buy the cheaper ones at Target for now!  

Answer 18

My son has beyblades we would be willing to part with. Let me look into it and message you, if interested?  

Comments

@insentient yes! Please!  

Answer 19

My son is nearly 10 and has played since he was 5 in random spurts.  

Answer 20

And the “battle” each other to make Them come apart. So dumb but someones a billionaire from it.  

Answer 21

I’d take any leftover!  

Answer 22

They are fun! As a grandmother, I would sit on the floor with the kids and have competitions.  

Answer 23

My son obsessed with em too! He and his best friends collects em. They are die cast metals. And have launcher to spin it. It’s battles with others in this plastic stadium.  

Answer 24

McDonald's has them as their toys right now you could maybe buy a few there
