I purchased this as a gift for my 13 year old son. He has always been a fan of beyblade but his interest in it increased a lot the past year or so. He began collecting Hasbro beyblades until this Valentine's Day when he got his first Takara Tomy Beyblade and now Takara Tomy are the only Beyblades he collects. This is probably his eighth Takara Tomy and ranks in his top three favorites. Like the other Takara Tomy beyblades I have purchased the quality and durability of this beyblade is unmatched by any I have purchased from Hasbro. The special feature of this particular beyblade is one of my favorites because it is so unique and easily spotted. Those extra appendages add another element to battles which adds to the excitement. The price was very reasonable and even on the low end when compared to its selling price from other businesses. It arrived quicker than expected in pristine condition and the tracking number allowed me to view the packages progress during shipment so that the entire process was easy and stress-free. This is a definite must have for anyone that enjoys beyblades and for those that have never purchased Takara Tomy it is more than worth the price and once you purchase a Takara Tomy it will be the only beyblade you'll want to purchase in the future. For older children especially the Takara Tomy seem to elevate the gameplay. The beyblades are better quality and much more substantial than those from other brands. Even the designs and color schemes seem more mature when compared to beyblade from other brands. This beyblade is a must have addition to the more planned and thought out battles that a seasoned beyblader will want to have.
