And I feel bad for the two kids. Sure, what they did was not good, but I don't think it was necessary for the parents to place a picture of the boys. If you can see the picture they used, you'll know what I mean.
I guess that's part of the reason why it got taken off by eBay and, in the process, not getting sold at all.

That's a genuine punishment, lol! If I was in that situation at their age, I would've gotten a huge whoop'n with a thick belt on top of that punishment, for real!
Part of me thinks this would be a big lesson for those boys, yet at the same time I do wonder if their parent(s) told them something along the lines not to use the bathtub as an arena.
But, then again, it could be hard to believe Beyblades could do that much damage...
So Beyblades actually have magical beast enchanted into them?!
Best marketing scheme ever... Sell destructive toys to children and profit. BRILLIANT! I'll take the dragon one plox and ty. Good bye lead hello magical beasts. (Seriously though, who knew they could actually break stuff? I mean other than children's hearts *sad face*)
The real genius though is the mom. Who else would think to publicly humiliate the kids in the hopes of getting higher bids. Not I sir, not I.

The money bit is painful. If we're talking about young kids, depending on how big their allowance is to start with, they probably won't see it again for a long time.

Oh yay! I was hoping the internet would cache it somewhere for posterity.
I feel like I should screencap that now, just in case.

This is just funny; if I'd done something like this as a kid, my parents definitely would have done something similar.

I always knew Beyblade would make its proper come back, apart from that blasphemy that is Metal Fusion <3

I've seen those Beyblade tops. I didn't think they would be so damaging.
