Plastics Q&A Thread (All Plastics Questions Go Here! Plastics Only.)
|
|
|
Well, we finally have it, a dedicated thread for all of your plastics questions. This functions as all of the following, for Plastics, the original Beyblade series.
Note: Plastics refer to all releases Pre-HMS, as well as the few plastics that were released at the same time or after the Early A-Coded HMS Releases. An HMS Q&A thread will be made later today. What is a Plastic Beyblade? Plastic Beyblades were the original Beyblades, produced and sold by Takara, beginning in the Year 2000, and also sold by Hasbro, under license, from 2002. Arguably the most well known are the beyblades belonging to the main characters of Bakuten Shoot Beyblade, Dragoon, Dranzer, Draciel, and Driger. While they are no longer produced, some are still available on eBay and so on, and they still have some popularity, especially with collectors. If you don't understand an abbreviation, often it is just referring to a type of part, a list of such abbreviations can be found here: http://wiki.worldbeyblade.org/index.php/Abbreviations If you don't recognise a part name, or are not sure what a part is called, the parts list on beywiki, linked below, should help you out. What is this thread? This thread encompasses all of the following, for Plastic Beyblades, however, as we do have the Beywiki, it is expected that you should search for answers there first. Rules apply here as in the MFB versions of these threads. Ask A Question, Get An Answer >>Identification of Plastic Beyblades >>Identification of Accessories >>Part Function/Gimmicks >>Other General Questions. Purchase Consultation >>All Questions Relating To Purchases, Prices, Etc. Build Me A Combo >>All Combination Related Questions. NOTE: If you want us to build you a combination, you must list your beyblades. Listing whole beyblades and noting any missing/extra parts should be sufficient. Don't just spam combos asking if they're good, or post an incomplete list, or most of us will respond with a reply as pointless as your question Furthermore, if you only have a few parts, it's best not to ask for combinations of a specific type - if there is a worthwhile combination of any type, it will be recommended, and you're far better off with a useful combination of one type than a poor combination of another. If you absolutely need a combination of a particular type, despite not having many parts, it is best to explain why you need it, as that means we may be able to suggest more suitable alternatives. Things You Should NOT Ask Here: Anime or Manga Questions. Ask those in: Beyblade Anime and Manga Questions What a part is called, or what beyblade a part comes from: Use the Parts List on Beywiki The Product Code of a Release, or which Release corresponds to a certain Product Code: Use the Beyblade Product List on Beywiki General Plastics Discussion goes in the Plastics General Discussion Thread Discussion of Parts and Customizations goes in the Plastic Parts Discussion Thread Some Handy Resources: In addition to the Beyblade Product and Parts lists mentioned above, there are a few more handy resources around the site that you should check first to see if they answer your question: Plastic Random Booster Contents List (Improved by Ultra!)

N0body:
It depends on the status of that beyblade and how many people want to have it. For my experience, it's about $60~80 for a NIB one. ![]() Here is my collection: Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvQqeBEUlQ4 http://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-Beyblade...#pid496503 And here is my selling thread: http://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-2-19-NIB...V-for-sale |

Hah, wouldn't have been too far off with my guess of 60-100. But yeah, I certainly hope others will be checking this thread to help with purchase consultation, because I have very little knowledge there, as I buy almost everything in bulk.
Curious, what's a Blizzard Orthrus cost nowadays? Both colours, if anyone knows? Team "I Joined This Team So People Will Stop Sending Me Team Invites" - They can take our thread, but they can never take our "team spirit"!

I've owned two but bought at different times from people in different countries. If we're talking mint i'd say at least $50 - $60 for the normal and about 15 - 20 more for the dark blue one.

I have a question; What is a Customize Engine Weight, and what do they do?

Customise Engine Weight are abbreviated to as CEW if that's more of a familiar term. Basically, it's the tip that's used on a engine gear, which can be changed with custmise engine gears.

They usually serve as the decorative piece

You don't have to, but you are allowed to.
There's also an exceptionally rare metal bit chip from Takara that can be used to add weight, but they're impossible to find. EDIT: Looks like you guys have me covered, Imma go back to sleep.

They're impossible to find and have a market price around $100. There were a grand total of two on this entire site last I checked.
It's one of the small size ones which you need a protector for, but yeah. Hasbro released something similar which was an attachment point for figurines however it is not intended for actual use, and the only way to fit it on is upside down, with the plastic protrusion inside an HMC. It was a normal sized bit chip, with plastic edging, iirc. I don't even want one at that price... Anyway, bit chips are my favourite beyblade part, choosing the right one for the beyblade is something I try to put a lot of thought into, haha.

I remember the figurine attachment points. But how does one obtain the normal bitchip protectors?
And agian, other than it being named after the year, why "Bakuten Shoot 2000? It is the 1st beyblade series, so there was no reason to extend the name Erutangis |

Honestly, I've obtained all mine through buying earlier beyblades, and moreso just by buying Deikailo's Bitchip collection.
Normal size bits are much more reliable anyway, as the attachment points they rely on aren't as fragile as those the smaller ones need. As for the second one, try the anime and manga q and a thread. Should be a link in the OP. Team "I Joined This Team So People Will Stop Sending Me Team Invites" - They can take our thread, but they can never take our "team spirit"!
