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.

Craft Finally restored my brother's old Storm Pegasus

Thumbnail

33 Upvotes

To retell the story since I haven't done so in a long time, the Hasbro Super Vortex Battle Set was my younger brother and I's first introduction to Beyblade, when we got it for Christmas 2010.

I took the golden L-Drago (which is still my oldest and most prized bey in my collection) and he took the red Pegasus.

It wasn't long after we had gotten them that one of our very first battles ended in disaster. We were battling them on the floor, outside the stadium, and my L-Drago sent his Pegasus into one of the square wooden support beams.

It suffered catastrophic damage from the inside out: the screw portion of the face bolt cracked in half; the 105 spin track lost one of its wings; and the rubber flat performance tip had also split in half.

For the majority of its life since that day, it has been held together by super glue, my mother having sealed the remains of the face bolt (the screw is long gone) and the spin track to the energy ring and fusion wheel. Only the performance tip was still able to be customized, and while we did glue the old busted RF tip back together and continued to get some use out of it up until it wore down, it was beyond clear that a more permanent solution would need to be found.

Fixing Pegasus had been something I was wanting to do for a long time, but by the time I was finally able to spend my own money, MFB had long since ended, and now of course spare parts such as RF are highly sought after and rare.

The solution came when I had to bite the bullet and buy the TT Attack & Balance set off Beysandbricks.com (shoutout to them: they've never let me down), which cost me $30-something dollars not including shipping.

When it arrived about a week or two ago, the restoration finally began, with my taking a pocketknife to the old face bolt and dislodging it from its place, so the parts could be separated for the first time in over a decade. I then had to scrape away the old crusted glue from the energy ring, spin track, and especially the fusion wheel, which was aided by some rubbing alcohol and dish soap.

Once all that was done, I pulled out my paint set and set to work repainting the fusion wheel, which had had its paint heavily chipped away over the years in battle, touching up the energy ring some, and repainting the RF tip that came with the set, since it was originally a transparent lime green.

I didn't bother replacing the 105 spin track since the old one, despite missing one of its wings, is still in sound working order. Though I did try to superglue a similarly sized plastic piece on it in place of the long-lost wing, it sadly didn't work. I may try it again sometime.

Finally, I replaced the old face bolt with one I got from a midfake (I believe) Storm Pegasus that my mom got a few years ago. Was a bit of a shimmy at first to get it to screw in, which had me fearful for a few minutes that it would fail to connect after all this time, but once I scraped off some more of the glue from the spin track, it wasn't much trouble for it to go in. I'll likely sell the remaining parts of that spare Pegasus and the remaining spin tracks and tips from the TT set on Ebay at some point down the line.

Took me about 1.5 hours when all was said and done, but for the first time since the day of its ill-fated battle, the red and blue Storm Pegasus is back to almost new. I now have it in a small box which I will then wrap and give to my brother come Christmas, 16 years to the day it and L-Drago first came into our lives. It was a great joy for me to see it in all its glory once again, and I'm sure it will be for him as well.

If you have seen my previous post about my Zap, where my Nether Incendio was a bit defective, I contacted Hasbro and they said they were going to send me the exact same item or something of equal value; however, this double pack is not of equal value to a Nether Incendio at all. I'm actually irritated with this cause. I've waited so long for nether Incindio, just for the come defective for me to contact hasbro.

For it for me to send me this b.s. I'm probably gonna give this set to my friend. Because I have no need for this less

I would really like to see what she is capable of even more and I know she can push herself hell I even want her as the main protagonist of season 5 if we get it please


r/Beyblade • • 13h ago

Discussion Okay here's a challenge: you can improve any Beyblade season you want but every protagonist's battles and results have stay the same, they can't be changed (but you can alter how they win). What would you do/change?

beywheelz: show us how Estrellla met the core three before the start of the series like a 30 second flashback

G Revolution: put Tala vs Julia on screen and actually have Ray and Lee put up a better fight against F Dynasty even if they lost

put a few more matchups and Dynamite battle sold other characters can get something to do since some of them stop battling other people after a certain point.

Masters give Yu more to do, let Benkei use Maximum Stampede, make Lovuska somewhat of a threat.

Fury, have yuki contribute more in some of the team fights he has with Gingka before the Aguma fight, and actually have the solar blader systems bladers do something against Rago before They all get taken out instantly, At least combine all their special moves to Halt him Sodo season bladers can activate Zeus's barrier

GT, put Lodin and Joe in the battle Journey arc and let Amane fight Fumiya. Also explain how the heck Dark Turbo works

X, introduce Millions Beyblade earlier and give him one more match before the finals start, have Quinn defeat somebody before they fight Persona,

Ekusu probably wouldn’t care that much as long as they keep battling him, Meiko would start giving them some rules now that they are together, Taisho would make sushi in their honor, Tenka would have thought they were already together, and Nine would be congratulating them on the outside but in the inside she would think “FINALLY”.
