835. Ultimate Party Quest

I love a good party. I love going to one and I especially love throwing one. Every few years my eldest shifts his behavior far enough into the green to have a party. Now, on the eve of his eighth birthday, I find myself communicating with companies in China in hopes of procuring Beyblades wholesale. Why? I think this year’s party is going to be an all out Beyblade tournament!

Beyblade is a game and TV Series that was popular a few years back and is currently experiencing a resurgence amongst select kids from 4-12. The game is a trumped up version of tops. You purchase a metal top and a plastic stadium and you spin your top in hopes of surviving longer than your opponent. I’ve tried the game with varying degrees of success. It lacks the poker-like strategy of Pokemon, but it is pure physics. The tops have a finite number of variables that determine weight, spin direction, defensive posture, attack speed, etc. You can change out parts and create a bey that does what you want it to do and in a team battle the variables and strategy increase.

This is going to be a fun one.
