Not Super Interesting
This game reminds me of tabletop hockey in ways, but takes up way less space when the novelty wears off.
The set includes battle table, play tops, App, and launchers - you can purchase new overpriced launchers and pieces separately, making this overpriced game even pricier when your kids' friends have different "bursts" and "tops." Collecting the different pieces is part of the game strategy, so the base game will not be your only Beyblade purchase if your kids' decide they enjoy it.
The stadium is decently constructed, keeps the pieces inside (vs flying off the surface into the living room), and doesn't take up a huge amount of space.
So far we haven't managed to break any of the pieces, and the attack pieces fit well enough that the pieces should last awhile.
Overall, it's been played a handful of times over the last few weeks, and doesn't seem to hold my 5 year old nephews interest for very long. His sisters (4) are scared of the loud sounds during play.
Husband tried it, but lost interest after 5 minutes, lacking the patience to learn how to strategize.
