Hello to all our winners!

Call us or visit the store to register today!

It’s May Day, and we just had our Mayday Tournament here at the store, the last tournament before the Tournament of Champions!  Congratulations to Lucas, Elias, Blair, and Andrew, our winners, and a special congratulations to Blair, our final qualifier for the Tournament of Champions!  If you want to play against all our Champions (the first and second place winners of tournaments 1 – 12), there are still spots open, so call, Email, or stop in for more details!

Well it is now five days to our next tournament, and we just got in plenty of new items, including the perfect secret weapon — Gravity Perseus!!!

Never heard of it?  Well there’s a lot to it for the serious Beyblader, but if you don’t know much about the details and don’t want to get lost in translation, just skip ahead to the next paragraph, that’ll tell you what you need to know!  Now Beybladers, imagine a defense type with the widest performance tip yet to allow for plenty of wobble room without sacrificing longevity, as long as you rip it as hard as your opponent does, of course.  Now add to that a well balanced armored spin track with surprisingly high stamina.  Then top it off with an exclusive Fusion Wheel and Energy Ring that work together not only to provide high defense, but to create two modes: a defense mode that makes the opponent have a hard time making contact, and a counter mode that smashes your opponent while it tries to smash you!  “Yeah, that’s good, but I can beat it”, you say?  Better watch yourself, because this is the one and only Beyblade that launches to the left AND to the right! Your opponent won’t know what to expect — Left or Right, Attack or Defense?  Keep ‘em on their toes!

So what does this really say about Gravity Perseus?  It’s AWESOME.  End of sentence.   But that’s not the only thing we got in, oh no.  We also restocked Galaxy Pegasus and the digital power launcher, both popular choices among Beybladers, and we got something in that we’ve never had before:  Galaxy Cancer, Burn Scorpio, Flame Gemios, Galaxy Sagittario, Killer Scorpio, Flame Cancer, Burn Sagittario, and the exclusive Killer Beafowl — but we only got five of them, and we don’t know which five!  Confused?  it’s simple, these Beyblades come in random booster packs, so you never know what you’ll get, but these all look like pretty good Beys with great parts for customization, so give ‘em a shot!

That’s right folks. Our 12th Beyblade tournament is on the way and it’s already more than half-full! If you need a spot give us a call (613-825-0688), email (toysonfireott@yahoo.com), or drop by the store to register before space runs out.

Beyblade 12 will be our final qualifier for the 2010-2011 Season Tournament Of Champions which will be held on May 15th. The top two contenders in Beyblade 12 will be invited to fill the last spots available for the 10-11 ToC.

I hope to see you all on May 1st for an exciting set of matches!

P.S. We just stocked a whole whack of Japanese Beyblades for those of you who missed out on them the first time. And wow, they are going fast!

NOTE: For those of you who are inquiring about the tournaments, please know that these are local tournaments we are holding in Ottawa, Canada

Hello Beybladers!

Just a reminder that this Sunday is our 11th tournament here at the store, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Please remember to bring at least one Beyblade from the new Metal Fusion line, and arrive 15 minutes before 1:00 pm so that we can sign everyone in and start on time! If you need to cancel, please give us 24 hours notice to get your admission back, and if you’re running late please give us a call so that we know to reserve your spot, otherwise it might go to any other kids who want to play. Well that’s it for the Legal, I’ll see you all this Sunday!

Hello avid Beybladers!

Well this past Weekend was the Game Summit, a convention here in town for board games, and I had the pleasure of running our seventh Beyblade Tournament right there at the convention on Sunday! I’d like to thank all the parents and especially all the kids who came out and made this event such a success, and also congrats to our winners!

We hope everyone had fun, and we really hope to see you all back here at the store for our next tournament on March 6th!

P.S.: Keep an eye out for our next newsletter, which may feature video taken at our tournament this past weekend!

Well our camera just came back from its’ trip to Cuba, so as promised, here are the photos we forgot to post form tournament 3 & 4:

Again, we apologize for the delay, and thank you for your patience and understanding.

Well now, our sixth Beyblade tournament just wrapped up and it was a blast! (No really, someone’s beyblade blew up, it was really cool to see!) I’d like to congratulate our prize winners, and thank everyone for coming and having fun with us today!

Now in the spirit of fun, We’re always trying to make our tournaments and events even better, so that each event is better than the last! If any of you guys have any ideas about what would make for better beyblading at Toys on Fire, Let us know!!! You can come and talk to us (or even email us right now!) and we will consider every suggestion. For now, though, in the coming events you can really get in the groove with cool battle music while you Rip, and coming soon we will have exhibitions for beyblade tricks! I’ve seen some cool tricks from some of our more experienced participants, from scooping up a beyblade and keeping it spinning in the palm of a hand, to hopping a beyblade from arena to arena, and I’m sure there are more tricks you guys can do, so we will be announcing a demo section in one of the next few tournaments where we will be filming these tricks you guys can do, and putting them online on our site for all to see!
