BEYBLADE X

BEYBLADE X is in a period of high demand and supply shortages, with Takara Tomy increasing production and using made-to-order sales to manage distribution. The series is expanding through collaborations, new game content, and retail events.

Synthesized from 8 Yomimono stories · updated Aug 5

BEYBLADE X has been facing sustained product shortages since spring 2026, with demand exceeding expectations worldwide, particularly in Asian regions including Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Takara Tomy first acknowledged the issue in May, announcing production increases for domestic and overseas markets. By late July, the company confirmed that shortages had persisted since around Golden Week, and even new products released from June to August were not supplied in sufficient quantities. The development team apologized in a YouTube video on July 29.

To address the imbalance, Takara Tomy introduced made-to-order sales through its Takara Tomy Mall. The first such sale covered the UX-00 Starter Samurai Saber Samurai Blue Japan National Football Team Ver., with orders from June 19 to July 20 and delivery in late November. A second made-to-order round, announced July 29, covers three products: the CX-16 Start Dash Set C, UX-20 Starter Glory Valkyrie LF, and UX-21 Hells NETHER Deck Set. Orders run August 7 to August 11, with shipping around mid-January 2027, limited to one per person or household to prevent resale.

Beyond supply management, the series has expanded through collaborations and events. A free battle stadium opened at JR Akihabara Station on June 13, and a Beyblade X x HAWKINS MACH BEY sneaker launched at ABC-Mart on July 30. The first Beyblade X collaboration with Ultraman, a starter set themed after Ultraman Tiga, is scheduled for September 12, 2026, across eight Asian regions. In games, Furyu Corporation confirmed a PlayStation 5 version of Beyblade X: Evol Battle, alongside new DLC packs and bundles for the Nintendo Store and Steam.
