Question 1

Where do I get the launcher?

Accepted Answer

There are many launchers you can get.  People who collect Beyblades collect the Japanese takara tomys only.  They don’t buy the licensed Korean ones.  I have 1 dual spin launcher B-184 listed on Amazon marketplace,  the photos are Korean but I sell the Japanese takara tomys only. Since I’n a us seller, I cannot create listings.  Only sellers in Japan can create listings and cross sell in the US. So, I list where I can.   It’s B-184 only from Beyblades and more.  If you don’t care about collecting, the Korean launchers are fine.  They are not as good as the Japanese takara tomys but the launchers used to work on Japanese beys so not sure if they still fit.  Or you can go to Walmart.com.  I sell on Walmart marketplace also.  Longinus is left spin only but if you have other beys, you may want to just get the dual launchers i since most Beyblades are right spin.  I would recommend B-184, B-119 for dual spin.  The B-184 is more complicated to switch between left and right but the string is very long and it’s better than the B-119.  I would watch a YouTube video for the B-184.

For left spin, you can get B-99 or B-141.  Both are good but the B-141’s string is longer.  For more control, I recommend a grip B-109.  But Japanese takara tomys are expensive.

Please keep in mind that string launchers cannot be played like the anime where you pull the string all the way back.  Pull the string no further than shoulder level and let it rip.  The engineering required to make a launcher that works just like the anime would be very costly.  I beyblade with my son so I like B-184 the most.  The string is very long and takara tomy built in a mechanism to retract the string  if the string is hanging out.  It’s the closest to the anime for launching. It’s bulky so I would recommend a grip.

Also, just FYI, Hiro Morita just wrote the last beyblade burst manga last December so the beys made for the Hiro Morita (creator of the current Beyblades burst comics) is likely to go up in value.  2022 will be the last year for the beyblade burst anime made from Hiro Morita’s comics (Quaddrive series)  In 2023, takara tomy will make their own original series in Japan.  The anime is usually about a year behind Japan’s release of the anime.  After 2023, not sure if Beyblades burst will continue or not.  Takara Tomy may just model the new animes like Pokémon and just make their own original series for Beyblade burst.  Just FYI in case you collect.  Hope this helps.  Also, battling toys Korean beys are just bad.  I think young toys or beljiu Korean beys are better.  Still inferior to the Japanese beys but way better than battling toys.  Those are really bad quality.

Just fyi, a new Valkyrie was just released in 2/4/2022.  Valkyries are always right spin so if you are planning on getting the new Valkyrie, I would recommend the dual spin launcher B-184
