Just when you thinkBeyblade Xcan’t get any cooler, here comes a bunch of freakin’ dinosaurs. One of the coolest products in the Beyblade X generation is the collaboration multipacks. These dual packs feature new versions of familiar blades redesigned to feature iconic characters fromMarvel,Star Wars, and the Jurassic World franchise.
This month, to coincide with the release of Jurassic World: Rebirth, Hasbro is launching two new Jurassic World multipacks featuring four iconic prehistoric creatures. Collab packs were always good value, but for the first time ever, we’re getting two collabs with must-have parts for every blader’s collection.
Jurassic World Stomps Into Beyblade X
Collaboration multipacks aren’t exactly known for their competitive prowess. A Spider-Man or Luke Skywalker Beyblade sells itself (trust me, I bought both of them), but you typically won’t find the strongest or most meta-defining parts inside. That shouldn’t stop anyone from enjoying playing with their Captain America Bey of course, but it’s definitely a consideration for any budget-conscious blader.
That’s not the case with the newest Jurassic World multipacks though. Both dual packs include highly competitive and hard to find parts, with one of them featuring one of the best attack-type blades in the game.
First up is the Spinosaurus and Quetzalcoatlus Multipack Set. Spinosaurus is a remake, or echo, of Roar Tyrano, a three-sided attack-type blade that has low stamina but a lot of power. The blade is red (original Roar Tyrano is blue) with a battle chip featuring sharp-toothed and drooling Spino - very intimidating. Quetzalcoatlus is an echo of stamina-type blade Talon Ptera. A lot of other stamina blades outclasses Ptera, but it comes with some interesting parts that will be valuable for your collection.
The more exciting of the two is the T-Rex and Mosasaurus Multipack Set. T-Rex is an echo of Beat Tyranno, one of the heaviest and most powerful attack-type blades in the game. Beat Tyranno has been a competitive staple, so this echo, featuring a ferocious T-Rex in orange and blue, is a great addition to any collection. Mosasaurus is an echo of defense-type blade Cowl Sphynx. Cowl Sphynx was recently re-released in a dual pack with Crest Leon, so it’s an easy one to get right now, but again, it comes with some great parts.
Shockingly Good Parts For A Collab
Here’s a breakdown of the stock builds you’ll get with each combo in the set:
Both 3-85 and 4-55 are new ratchet heights that thus far have only been featured in the new CX starter packs, so here’s your chance to get both parts in one set. 4-55 is the lowest ratchet, and in Beyblade X, lower is better, so it’s definitely worth experimenting with. Both Accel and Dot are niche attack and defense bits, respectively, but they’re fairly uncommon so this is a great way to get them.
T.Rex stock build is, frankly, pretty baffling. 1-80 is a hyper-aggressive ratchet, but Gear Ball is a stamina bit. I’m not a huge fan of either one, though 1-60 on T.Rex would be a top choice. The fleshy color scheme of the 1-80 is also pretty unique, but not in a good way.
Mosasaurus has the MVP combo here, with 9-60 being the ultimate stamina ratchet (and in a beautiful blue color scheme) and Unite being one of the most novel bits in Beyblade X. This is the first time you’ll be able to get your hands on this balance-type bit Hasbro. If you weren’t already sold on this combo pack thanks to T.Rex, the Mosasaurus parts make it a must-have.
