Pretty much everyone overseas feared the Hasbro bucket stadium design when we first saw it, because many of them had been following Beyblade X since its Japanese release and knew just how powerful and fast both the launchers and battles were in this generation. It's a veritable safety hazard which likely will not see any serious competitive use. For people like me taking Gear Sports seriously, it's much better to invest in the Hasbro Xtreme Battle Set, or any of the Takara Tomy Xtreme Stadiums instead - we kinda need the shroud to be safe!
