No it wasn't. Now Yugio on the other hand, that was... no wait that sucked too. But some people at my school are bringing it back and it's kind of awesome (the card game, not the show)
I don't know why, but my neighborhood did the exact same thing. We was trading and showing off like little kids, and we were juniors and seniors in high school. 6th grade, our teacher let one of us bring a ****ing Beyblade stadium into class, and if we wanted to stay in for recess we could play with them. THAT was THE ****. I had a pimped out Dragoon top with the Green guy (forgot name)'s ball=bearing tip and a special rotating weight disc. **** was awesome, we'd trade parts and bits like Yugioh. For me, 1. Pokemon cards, 2. Yugioh cards, 3. Beyblade toys, 4 Yugioh cards again (in chronological order of use.
I don't no RS, I don't know... I once had a Yugio card worth around $150! but I lost it with the rest of my cards... SW Attacktics FTW (most likely epic fail spelling!!!) I had atlest $2000 worth of them (along with other attacktics) and then my local shops stopped selling them! FML!!!!
