After 13 years, I have returned

Jan. 10, 2016  8:32 PM
 
Hey there, my names Matt, and the last time I touched a Bey was 13 years ago.

Way back then I was so into Beyblade it was ridiculous. I had a box so full of parts I couldn't tell the fake gear from the real gear, but I know I had an old official Dragoon kicking about. One of the original ones too, all flat and sexy. I was the best on my street, and I distinctly remember there being one match where Dragoon and I hit a Bey so hard it pierced my Bey-stadium and sent it half way across the car park we were playing in. My mum wasn't too pleased but my friend and I thought it was freaking amazing.

Anyway, I'm thinking of getting back into the Beyblade scene. I live in London, what would be this best way to do this?

There was another time that a different friend and I had a face off match, a driger Vs. my Dragoon. We don't know what happened, but one moment both beys were in the stadium, the next Dragoon had stopped spinning and Driger was under the stadium with a huge whole in the plastic. We were confused as all hell.

Hi and welcome to the site. Yes there is an active tourney scene in London but you'd need to buy the beyblades from the current series to compete although we could play with the old generations in free play if you don't wanna buy new stuff. We usually try and have a tourney once a month in regent's park. Keep an eye on this thread for updates:

It comes down to the right angles and, as another poster said, a cheap as carp stadium. We played a lot and when you play a lot with cheap gear you can see some freaky deaky things.

Thanks for the Intel! I'll keep up to date with it. What's the current gen right now? As I said I've been out of the loop for a long time and looking through you tube and stuff I've seen a lot of stuff. Big blades, metal blades, bursting blades, tall blades, short blades, Rev launchers.

Things have changed since the days of old.

Ah yes, retractable string launchers are thing now.
Do your best to attend a tournament; much fun to be had.

Beyblade Burst is the 3rd and current generation of Beyblades.
Explosions, to exaggerate in a word.
If recommend picking up
B-08 Start Dash Set, which comes with Valkyrie, the main character's blade and it's a cool Attack type. Plus it comes with a String Launcher, Beylogger (which tracks launching progress for the app), and the actual Stadium which is a necessity for play.
There are a few other options to go along side that, such as B-05 Spriggan Heavy Defense, which is a neato booster since it has pretty good parts. Or you could buy the newly released Xcalibur, which seems to be the rage nowadays, with that nice rubber tip. But I think buying B-08 and B-05 should be a good start.
Few ways to buy things; EBay is always an option, but probably the best options are Amazon (although not sure on how the UK is for prices) or WBO sellers. I'd highly recommend gankoba or OkinawamTS, as I've bought from both and they have good prices and selection. Okinawam actually sells a lot of Plastic Beyblades, so if you want some of your childhood that's a good place to go. Burst is somewhat similar to the originals; and the originals are my favorite, so I'm sure you'll have no trouble liking Beyblade Burst. Fun for new people as well as veterans.

LOL, certainly. I remember lots of crazy battles, too. But I can't help but wonder if my adolescent mind exaggerates some of the details Wink

Nothing to be ashamed of. It's fun. Good hobby to have.

Hey Matt welcome to this pretty awesome community.
I'm actually in a similar boat to you.
I've rejoined beyblade after 10 years and I live in the UK.
I'm sure you want to get back into battling.
I'm the same so I'll hopefully see you at a tournament.
Hope to battle you soon Smile
