ASC Lake Union LLC Brings the Thrill of Beyblades to the US Market
BELLEVUE, WA – October 26, 2023 – ASC Lake Union LLC, a Bellevue, Washington-based importer and distributor, is excited to announce its expansion into the dynamic world of Beyblades, bringing the hugely popular Takara Tomy Beyblade line to a wider US audience. Based at 415 118th Ave SE, ASC Lake Union LLC (reachable at 651-331-9364) is quickly becoming a go-to source for authentic, high-quality Beyblade products, aiming to ignite the passion for battling and collecting among kids and Beyblade enthusiasts across the nation. For those not in the know, Beyblades aren’t just spinning tops; they're a cultural phenomenon. Originating in Japan, these high-tech spinning tops are used in a competitive battling game that’s captured the hearts (and wallets!) of millions globally. The brand, originally popularized by Takara Tomy, has seen resurgence after resurgence thanks to animated series, competitive tournaments, and an ever-evolving lineup of blades with increasingly complex designs and features. And ASC Lake Union LLC is ready to feed that demand. What's the Buzz About Beyblades? So, what makes Beyblades so addictive? It’s a pretty simple concept, but packed with strategy and excitement. Players launch their Beyblades into a stadium, and the last blade spinning is declared the winner. But it’s way more involved than that. Each Beyblade is comprised of several key components: Layer System: This is the top part, the one you see, and it drastically affects the blade’s weight, balance, and overall performance. Different layers have different abilities and stats. Disc: The disc sits below the layer and influences how the Beyblade moves within the stadium – things like speed, stability, and the ability to “steal” energy from opponents. Frame: The frame connects the disc to the runner and has a big impact on the blade’s overall attack power and resilience. Runner (or Bit Chip): The final piece, the runner, touches the stadium floor and impacts the Beyblade’s spinning stability and how it interacts with the stadium walls. The cool thing is, these components are often interchangeable! Kids (and adults!) love collecting different layers, discs, frames, and runners and mixing and matching them to create custom Beyblades optimized for different battling styles. Do you want a blade focused on aggressive attacks? A defensive powerhouse? A speedy stamina blade? The possibilities are pretty much endless.
