Beyblade: Metal Fusion (Collectors Edition - Walmart)

Walmart's exclusive version of the Beyblade: Metal Fusion Collector's Edition for DS swapped the standard top for a Bakushin Susanow 105F, giving the retail giant its own Beyblade variant to stock alongside the base game bundle. This DS collector's edition paired the Metal Fusion handheld game with a top you could only grab from Walmart's shelves.

The game delivers the same Metal Fusion storyline and touchscreen battles regardless of which retailer bundle you picked up. It's a solid DS adaptation of the anime's first season. The Bakushin Susanow 105F, however, is what separates this box from the pack. As a Walmart exclusive, it had broad geographic availability but a specific retail footprint, meaning you had to know where to look and when.

Walmart exclusives from the DS era occupy a strange space in collecting. The retailer's sheer number of locations suggests these should be easy to find, but the reality is more complicated. Walmart cycles shelf space aggressively, and niche bundles like a Beyblade DS collector's edition didn't linger long before being clearanced or pulled. That short shelf life, combined with the years since release, has made the Walmart Metal Fusion variant a legitimate hunt for anyone building the complete set. It's the kind of edition that hides in plain sight until you actually try to find one.
