Playing �war� with tops was a new idea to me until my 6 year old grandson introduced me to Beyblades. It seems to have come back in fashion with a bang, from Japan, and tied into a TV programme. We didn�t fight with tops when I was young, or at least, �my lot� didn�t. Here�s a site about Beyblades, there are many others.
