It has such small stamina for one and struggles to spin steal itself because it is rubber. So it gives away all its spin and then the other bey out spins it.

The fact the words are engraved surely does have a considerable effect since TAKARA-TOMY's and SonoKong's molds are definitely better than Hasbro's.

Why is it that the Sono Kong Hell Kerbecs sells for (usually) less than TT ??

Are there any differences?
Everything from SonoKong is cheaper, usually.
Why aren't there any uses for BS ?
Are there any uses for the Thunder wheel ?

BS is trying to mix two types or attribnutes together, but just like actual Balance-type combinations, this does not work as well as if you concentrate on one attribute more than the other. Thus, RF is better in Attack than RSF, which tries to combine both some Defense and some Attack.

Infinity ("Thunder") is OK in Defense. Read the Infinity Discussion in the Beyblade Customizations forum.

Quality? Price? Both? I have both and can't see the differences unless they are minor. All three are made in the same country (China). Both Sono Kong and Hasbro have to have permission from TT to distribute them. Besides the packaging and mold replacement (as they do wear down and need retooling), do all three "sellers" use different "factories" for the parts? For instance, everyone likes to beat up on Hasbro because there seems to be a misconception that they make their own stuff. I have this logical theory, I know I could be off on this, but I think that after TT releases it, the parts have some minor changes as touched on above. That's when the "Oh Hasbro Beys suck" starts. A metal wheel produced for them can be 1-2 years removed from when originally TT released, no?

Is any of this way off?

Sorry for the ramble. I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee and flying out the door as we speak.

Storm L Drago
Is this the one you are talking about?

Seems like DeX is correct. Its a Storm metal wheel with a Wolf Clear Wheel and L drago Face. No idea about track and bottom...

Very, very rare. Exactly how much it is worth, I do not know.

There is really no difference. It just seems like sellers can get cheaper deals with SonoKong products, which means that they can get cheaper prices for their second-level customers too.

First off, the "Hasbro Beys suck" thing is either baseless fanboy garbage, or on rare occasion, Hasbro's molds actually being deliberately different.

As for your theory about distribution, it's not far from the truth. They don't all use the exact same factory, however.

As for why Sono Kong products are cheaper, generally, it's because of the HK market theory I explained a while back about Limited Beys. Basically, because of the MUCH larger production line and the location of the factory, wholesellers get a bigger deal for buying a sickening amount of product right off the lines. From that point, they can sell it to everyone else cheaper than they sold straight up TT products for.

If you broke a beyblade piece, and put less than 1 ml drop of super glue on it, would it still be legal to use?
