I was searching google pics of toys from my childhood and I came across the battle beasts. No word of a lie I gasped, fond memories came back to me and I immediately started saving every pic of them I could find. Next step was to go to Amazon and eBay to purchase a lot if available... It was but too expensive for champ. But I will get a killer carp if I can find one. He was always my favourite. Anyone have one for sale?
Also as I was searching on Amazon I came across some newer looking ones (not as cool) does anyone know if they have a killer carp version?
Anyways I'm very happy to find this place and look forward to creeping through the forums while at work.

You'll be very pleased with all of the stuff that is available to browse here on the boards! Lots of us remember, and there are also newbies to the hobby as well, of course.

Fortunately enough for you, Killer Carp is certainly one of the more inexpensive and more readily available figures. You should have no problem tracking one down on here.

I still remember when i found out about the rest of the Battle Beasts toyline.I only had about a dozen and a half of them as a kid ,a couple laser beasts and the shark playset from garage sailing. 

It was pure nostalgia, i used to call them square tummies back in the day when there wasn't no internet to find out about them.Hands down my favorite toy as a kid.

there wasn't a direct adaptation of Killer Carp (J:Killer Fish) for Beast Saga, though they did make a number of sea creatures for the "Sea Death" tribe. Here is the first starter pack: 

 

I actually have a spare set of these guys still in the box as well as an extra loose Pirazon (Pirahnna, on the far right) if you're interested. I'd say he's probably the closest Beast Saga came to remaking Killer Carp. They also aren't expensive. Agree that they aren't as cool, but they're 100% an homage to the originals and they do have their own charm that's not as obvious until you get them in-hand. I didn't care for them as much as first but now I have everything they released

I just finished watching some reviews on the beast saga collection on YouTube actually and I agree with you that the piranha is pretty neat. I wish they had either the hologram or the laser beast thing though instead of a dice launcher. I don't think I'll purchase any just yet. I'm going to try and get my grubby mitts on some original battle beasts and laser beasts first, but thank you also I have mentioned to family members that I would like to start collecting these for my son.... Just like I got him a light up version of the uss enterprise d which sits on my night stand

I've got a few spare Beasts, man.   Nothing amazing or rare, just cool figures, if you are interested.

 

Also, welcome to the site.

I have that same thought at times, ThunderLips. But if all of us had such an ability it's likely that an excellent community like LRG wouldn't exist today, so I say all is well that ends well.
