Hi there...
Finally found my way to WBO (after already discovering the discord, reddit and wiki). Happy to be here as well. I just discovered Beyblade last week and I'm heavily intrigued. Hope it doesn't bother anybody that I'm way older (40 years) than what I suspect the average user here is. You're never to old to just have fun.
Coming from the TCG world my early impression is: Beyblade is as "physical" toy system a fun change with surprising nuances and still fulfills many "collectors needs" like a TCG would. It doesn't exactly replace my TCG love but it adds a fun new diversion between TCG sessions. And I think the Beyblades themselves look kinda cool. So I'm hooked and read a lot of information about it. I'm now at the point where I (maybe wrongly) believe I have a basic understanding. But of course also lots of questions.
I already wrote a reddit post about my thoughts and questions on the state of game in the western market (I'm from germany btw. and still have a hard time to find local stores to buy Beyblade from and I'm still wondering why Hasbro markets the game so strangely.).
But I also already started my "collection" *cough* :cool:
Here an overview (the Takara Tomy beys are for the most part ordered but still on their way from South Korea or Japan):

I guess the goal of this post (besides saying hello) is to get some advice how to build the collection from here (what important parts or beys do I miss and should I prioritize from here on out for example?). I think for now, I want to focus on Beyblade Burst starting with God Layer as "oldest" beys for my collection. Since I already have a few Takara Tomy beys I also want to focus more on these instead of the Hasbro products (First impression: I find TT beys way more appealing). I also would like to get some advice what else I should think about (including good ways for storage, organizing and transport). I'm also still searching for reliable, fast and good online stores or ebay sellers for Beyblades. I would prefer to have one or two shops where I can bundle my orders into bigger packages instead for every single Beyblade always have to search an individual seller and have to pay individual shipping, import and taxes.
If you've read to all this text: Thanks for your patience! :cool:
