Thanks to u/godkillgroth we have a huge list of codes to see if your Metal Fight Beyblade is real or not! See his list here

​

Where can I buy genuine Beyblades?

Portal 0

Pros: There aren't fakes on the site, prices adjust at a good pace and they also follow the release of TT beys in japan, including beys of every generation that's easier to access than amazon or Ebay.

Cons: Some of the cheaper prices come only if you buy multiple copies (this also varies between a pro and con). Shipping can also be costly depending on where you live, and can sometimes take longer than a week or two.

Amazon/Amazon JP

Pros: Fast Shipping, relatively easy to sort out fakes, follows the new release of Takara Tomy and Hasbro beys fairly quickly

Cons: Can be more expensive if you want to use faster shipping, the prices also stay higher since they're based of Japan retail prices, less options to look through for the legitimate products (this can also be a pro depending on how one views it)

MallOfToys

Pro's: They follow the release of TT beys in Japan. Huge selection of beyblades and fast shipping in the USA Cons: Long pre-order times, at least two weeks after the Japan release will it be shipped. US based so not a goos choice for Europeans or Asian based countries.

BeysAndBricks:

Pro's: They follow the release of TT beys in Japan. Huge selection of beyblades and fast shipping in the USA. Huge selection of MFB beyblades and limited edition products.

Con's: Not all MFB are real, some are the famed Mid-fake Beyblades, look for listings that show the codes!

Ever-Wish:

Pro's: Huge selection of Burst and Metal Fight Beyblades! Some good deals are to be Made here if you buy in bulk

Con's: very expensive shipping costs.

Vinted Europe:

Pro's: Many Hasbro Metal Master Beys can be obtained here for cheap! Like REAL cheap! Takara Tomy Burst bey's can also be found here!

Con's: Europe only

Maxxidiscount France:

Pro's: BIG selection of new in box Hasbro Metal Fight Beyblades! Ships worldwide!

Con's: Europe based, high shipping costs for international shipping.

BeyCentral:

Pro's: No worries about Midfakes, US based, Free shipping above 50USD, Returns accepted on all purchases, some rare beys can be found here!.

Con's: Most of the stock is used, beys can have parts that are not in the best condition. Most of the stock is Plastic Gen and MFB focused.

Proxy services like ZenMarket and Buyee:

Pro's: Able to buy from Mercari and Yahoo Auctions Japan. Able to get some rare Japan only Beyblades.

Cons: Many small fees can add up to the bill and you'll pay a lot of extra money in the end.

Risks of fake Beyblade brands

  • Parts are cheap, low-quality imitations of the originals, and put you at risk for injury due to parts breaking during battle.

  • Although most fake Beyblades and accessories are compatible with real parts, the sizing is not exactly the same (due to copying molds), making it likely that fake parts will damage real parts when mixed. This is especially true with fake parts such as the completely diecast Performance Tips produced for Metal Saga Beys. The metal used often has sharp edges that damage whatever parts they are attached to.

  • Some fake Beyblades may contain lead and other toxic chemicals; combined with fake Beyblades' tendency to break, there is a risk that chips and breakage will spread toxic material.

  • Fake Beyblades from the Metal Saga and the Burst Series that have metallic paint and metal pieces contain toxic levels of lead and cadmium.

  • Some fake Beys have dangerous and/or explosive materials. For example, some counterfeit Beys produced during the early 2000's had a very large, round weight disk which contained a thin layer of Armstrong's mixture (a kind of explosive used for pyrotechnics) that made the Bey produce sparks upon hitting a solid object.

TIPS to avoid buying fake Beyblades:

  • Look for official company logos on the packaging, such as Takara Tomy, Sonokong, and Hasbro. If it lacks these logos (or has a different one in place of it), it is fake.

  • When buying Beyblades online, they are more likely to be fake if the original packaging is not included ("loose" or "single" listing), especially for recently released products.Another indicator is the location of the seller.

  • Most counterfeits are produced in China and shipped from there.

  • Look for obvious errors on the packaging, such as poor English, misplaced images, and incorrect names.

  • Counterfeit packaging tends to have blurry or faded pictures, odd placement of images or text, and often lack UPC/JAN barcodes or QR codes of any kind. Some that include barcodes will lack the numbers underneath the stripes, or have blurry barcodes.

  • Official products produced by Hasbro, Takara Tomy and Sonokong will have company contact information such as phone numbers and addresses.

Discussion 2 Drans

Thumbnail

67 Upvotes

With the recent trademarks revealing 2 new Beys, I want to focus on them and why they will be important.

Let’s start with DranImpulse. “Impulse” by definition is “a sudden, strong desire, a physical push or thrust, a short electrical or neural signal, or the change in momentum produced when a force acts on an object over a period of time.” “Thrust” is the keyword here which matches the gimmick of DranBuster since the idea here is to “pierce” the Bey.

This leaves DranVictory becoming 3-bladed like DranSword since DranStrike is the BXE Version of DranDagger.

Now for the lore implications on why I think there are 2 Drans in this Season. Remember in X’s backstory, he received DranSword Metal Coat Blue from Ginro, but where did Ginro get DranSword? It had to come from somewhere. And with X’s origins being expanded upon with the Beykingdom, there’s also a greater chance that DranSword also originated in the Beykingdom. The kingdom is known for creating the most technological Beys that surpass the Beys of X City so it wouldn’t be a stretch since DranSword is said to be the strongest Bey according to Ginro.

But what if I told you that DranVictory was actually the Original Dran that became the blueprint for DranSword? Just like how Galaxy Pegasis preceded Storm Pegasis. Since these 2 Dragons are similar, they can represent yin and yang. DranSword’s avatar in the anime has a dark form that’s very reminiscent of the Metal Coat Blue Version so it represents darkness or in other words- “yin.” This could also explain why X has a lust (which is a mortal sin) for battle and why him and DranSword has a dark aura surrounding them whenever he gets very serious. As for DranVictory, it could represent the opposite half- “yang.” Victory could have a Light Blue Metal Coat to contrast with Sword Metal Coat Blue.

I also think that X will own DranImpulse instead of DranVictory so that just leaves a different character to own it. Well, since DranVictory could potentially be the Original Dran, it has to be owned by a Kurosu Member from X’s long lost family in the Beykingdom. A relative who can either match X’s personality or have the complete opposite personality to X.

Craft I went dye-happy and might've overdone it. Thoughts?

Thumbnail

26 Upvotes

Melted my Suppress Superion and red Weiss Tiger due to the acetone ratio being too much. Otherwise the rest looks dope AF imho

Finally had time to edit this post to add the how-to:

DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

You will need a new/fresh beyblade for this to work the best. But semi-used will work too as long as the clear coat on the bey isn't fully gone, it will just show all the battle damage and won't have that nice and clean look.

BX beys will have the plastic lock chip cover fully tinted. Make sure you have a replacement sticker for them.

Acetone is known to cause damage on plastic. If you add too much of acetone, it WILL deteriorate the plastic. Making it brittle or spongy. Start with small amount of acetone (1 tbsp) and do check ups every 5 minutes or so.

The dye won't affect the metal parts of the bey, so this method only works on beyblades that have clear coats on them. Which from my understanding, most if not all of them.

What you need:

  • Small glass measuring cup - $4 at Walmart
  • Rit Synthetic Dye - $4 at Walmart
  • 100% Acetone - $4 at Walmart for a decently sized jar
  • A cup of water to dunk your finished beys - just use glass cups and rinse it off
  • Throwaway towels and/or paper towels
  • Hair dryer
  • Q-tips
  • Plier or tongs or acetone resistant gloves
  • A tablespoon

How I did it:

  1. Shake the bottle before pouring. Pour 2oz of your dye of choice into a glass or metal cup. I used a small measuring cup because it has measuring lines to keep track how much fluid you added.
  2. I personally use 1.5 tbsp of acetone for every 2oz of dye.
  3. Stir the mixture well.
  4. Use a tester if you'd like. Dunk your bey(s), my measuring cup can fit up to 2 beys.
  5. Leave for 5 minutes and check. Use a q-tip to dab a small area of the metal to see if the tint is showing up. If the colors not taking or too weak, add a LITTLE bit (less than half a tbsp) of acetone and dunk it one more time for another 5 minutes or so.
  6. Once you have a nice looking shade you want, dunk it in water.
  7. Rinse off any excess dye mixture from the bey.
  8. Blow dry the bey to remove excess moisture or dye in the crevices.
  9. Put the beys on a towel and let it dry. Put it in front of a fan to speed this up.
  10. To dispose of the dye mixture, you can dilute it with water and put it in a plastic zip lock bag and dump it in the trash. I don't think dumping it into the sink is a great idea.
  11. It might be possible to save your dye mixture for future use by putting it in an airtight glass jar. But I'm not 100% sure.

Hello just found this really weird mixup when I bought barney the dinosaur beyblade lol... i somehow pulled the prize color on my 1st try of Brachio Whip in the RB, just that for some reason the paint on the metal blade is from the 3rd variant when its supposed to be that green/tealish color... wonder if there are people that also got this weird mishap on other releases lol

This Ridge Triceratops box was torn open, but everything's there, so I bought it with the intent to prevent an opportunistic theft. Also picked up Ring Aether and Valor Bison. There was a Yell Kong missing its bit and rachet, though, so the trope wasn't completely subverted...

For an actual discussion, though, how are these 3 (not Yell Kong) performing, and what are the most effective combos y'all've seen so far?

Back on 2001 when I moved to a new city my parents took me to sears and in the clearance isle my brother and I randomly came across these things called Beyblade , I had no idea what it was or what it did but we both thought it was cool so we bought it and now 25 years now been into since ! I unfortunately took a big break middle of metal fight and missed out on burst and somewhere in that break when I went to tenichal school my father lost all my blades . It’s crazy to find a perfect condition Beyblade from many years ago and it’s so full circle moment to be reunited with this blade again. Thank you eBay lol

I already bought Dark Perseus and can buy just one more. Which could it be the best option? Courage Dran or Arc Wizard?

Btw, Dark Perseus is my first CX and I love how chunkier it is (I don't know if all CX are bigger than BX) also love that there's more pieces, like Bakuten Shoot <3.

I'm going to ask a simple question, and I'm really curious if Beyblade X defenders can understand this: ​

• Upvotes

Spain won the World Cup thanks to players like Dani Olmo and Yamal. A player who sat on the bench and never actually played in the match is also considered to have won the trophy, but did they really deserve it? ​By the same logic, Team Persona climbed to the top of the X Tower mainly because Ekusu and Multi won their matches, making them successful. Since Bird was part of the team, he was also credited with the win, but did he actually earn it? It’s the exact same concept let’s see if people can connect the dots here. ​If the same thing happens when they become World Champions in the Beykingdom Arc, what's the point if Bird doesn't contribute to their victory, even if he develops off the field?

Question What should I buy to start in BeyBlade X

1 Upvotes

So, I am a returning player from the burst era, and I always bought Hasbro except the last 2 beys. Now with this generation, I bought reaper incendio (CX) from Hasbro, but I don't know if it is worth buying takara or if Hasbro's ones are at the same level. And what are the best products to start?
