:While I don't immediately find substantiation of the "100 million unit" or "most popular toy line" claims, I did find plenty of evidence that it's big business.
:Hasbro's 2005 annual report says that BeyBlade accounted for 11% of their 2003 net revenue - only Star Wars (16% in 2005) has a larger percentage.  My math says that's $345M.  It's big business.  The official site, in its gear section, lists (in addition to game accessories) DVDs, apparel, bedding(!), lunchboxes, and more.  A Google search for "beyblade million" yields quite a number of hits, mostly various news stories and press releases.
:Is the level of detail in this article appropriate?  Maybe not, but it does appear that there's a potentially pretty large audience.

message: There was a story today in kotaku about some kids who were playing with them in the bathtub and destroyed the tub with them.  And it wasn't a fiberglass tub, either.  Not adding this to the article because it would be trivia unless the story of the kids' beyblades being auctioned to pay for the tub became notable (by WP standards) itself.  Incidentally it seems that the listing got pulled, probably by ebay.  Rifter0x0000 (talk) 08:53, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There was another story about this incident on MSNBC. Apparently 4chan got involved and a lot of drama went down. Something like this touches on some really important issues like child discipline and the Internet so it should be watched because it might be notable enough for inclusion, depending on what happens.-Schnurrbart (talk) 21:16, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Illustration requested 

message: Having read this article, I'm still clueless about what the idea of these BeyBlade toys are.  
Which bits spin and which bits remain stationary?  Is there a game involved here, or are they just collectable items?  Are they intended to collide with each other?  And if so, how is that brought about, and why?  What are the rules of engagement (if any)?  Please could you expand the basic information in this article to make it clearer to readers what it is all about.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.4.54.160 (talk) 21:21, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry about the delay in answering. Taken together with the article on the Anime series, these articles pretty much answer such questions as well as can be done without including original research. These are toys sold by Hasbro. They are portrayed in anime-style cartoons on television in English and other languages. They are more used for play than collected. They are intended to collide with each other in various ways. The subtleties of such collisions are important to the play. Beys are spun up by pulling a plastic strip that engages with a gear. Then the beys are placed or thrown into a plastic arena held on the lap or more likely on the floor. The beys spontaneously move around the arena and randomly collide. Sometimes bey collisions cause beys to be ejected from the arena at high speed. Children make up stories about what is happening, and are concerned with adjustments or accessories used, such as metal gear-like rings that increase the violence of collisions.

replies: text: They are not sold under the trade name of Beyblade, so no. They also lack the specific feature of customization which is a core concept to the Beyblade brand. --King Starscream (talk) 15:19, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

message: Should be noted where Beyblade "toys" were first produced (or made) in? It is likely they were first produced in Japan, as like the anime. But I've heard rumours they were first produced in Korea, originally. Can someone please confirm this? --121.213.23.30 (talk) 09:36, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I removed it, someone immediately put it back. This kind of list doesn't belong on Wikipedia. It has NO sources, looking back in the edit history it seems to all be based on editor opinion, which should never happen. Unless this is based on an outside source that has based the list on non-subjective criteria, this entire section should be removed forever. --Ifrit (Talk) 17:46, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit war? Top list of Beyblades is unencyclopedic and doesn't belong in the article. Discuss. 

message: I have attempted to trim some of the non-pertinent information such as specific products, part combinations, and such while also attempting to make the article more readable. There are still some points that need to be corrected, but it's a start. I think the main layout of the page should be something like this when finished:
Introduction
* Basic rules
** Types
** Additional rules (since this was the first time any new rules were added to the main game)
* Systems
** Original
** Metal
*** 4D
*** Shogun Steel (subitem because it was basically a continuation with only minor rework)
** Burst
** Other (quick mention of non-customizable spin-off toys)
* Differences in regional releases (not as comprehensive as the existing list, just a short paragraph or two)
A lot of the existing information here is useful, but too intricate and needs rewriting for grammar and punctuation. Hopefully we can get this page up to standards quickly. I'm not an expert on citation requirements, since I thought that I had provided proper objective second-party sources on other articles but had them removed later. I'll need someone a bit more versed in that regard to help out. --192.107.155.5 (talk) 17:05, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

* :Beyblade → Beyblade (manga)
The toy article reads like an instruction manual or advertisement, with few inline citations. It is highly unlikely the toy article will carry sufficient information to stand on its own (meaning if the superfluous information is removed). It is more logical to merge the contents together, then carry out a RM to Beyblade (franchise). — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 21:32, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

message: "Players receive points based on the appearance of their Beyblade, as the names of certain Beyblades can differ depending on the region. The scoring system takes into account both Hasbro and Takara Tomy terminologies, with points awarded accordingly. The Beyblade's visual appeal becomes a key factor in determining the player's score, as the Hasbro terminology is followed by the Takara Tomy names. This ensures a fair evaluation, considering the regional variations in Beyblade names. The scoring process reflects the diverse naming conventions used by both Hasbro and Takara Tomy, enhancing the overall fairness and inclusivity of the competition. In essence, the evaluation system accommodates the unique characteristics of Beyblades from different regions."
As far as I can tell from my beyblade knowledge, this section is either outright wrong or extremely unclear. It also contradicts the rest of the rules section. The only thing I can figure is that the author was trying to describe handicaps put in place for competing with both Hasbro and Takara beyblades (Takara are heavier and thus superior), but this is is niche and subjective fan-conjecture, not a part of the official rules.
