User blog:Morgue33/Hasbro Rage and Voting with your Wallet

I've seen a lot of Hasbro rage about their decision not to manufacture 4D tips for their upcoming Metal Fury line. They have instead chosen to recycle the spin track / performance tip combos from Metal Fusion and Metal Masters. Many people are upset because people outside of the United States and Canada will have access to the "true" Metal Fury tops, while they won't.

This is crap. Anyone with a credit card can buy Takara Tomy beyblades from Amazon.com for about $20. Hasbro beyblades run about $10, so you'll be paying double (plus shipping), but the option is there for you.

If you hate Hasbro and want to teach them a lesson, instead of raging on a wiki or Facebook like a child throwing a tantrum, just don't buy Hasbro's beyblades. Spend the extra $10 or so and buy the Takara Tomy beyblades online through any one of the available online markets.

If you don't care about the issue enough to spend a few extra bucks, then you don't care the issue at all. If you're going to rage and rant, but not cough up a few bucks you're just making a scene to get attention. If throwing online tantrums to get attention from anonymous strangers is how you get your kicks, so be it. God knows there are more unhealthy things out there you could be doing. Just be up front about it.

Thank you.
