Gonna save this, I may need to remember it in the future if I ever get around to buying a burst beyblade~
I would think that you shouldn't leave any parts out in he open for a long time. They will collect dust and if they aren't properly cleaned before use the dust would mess up balance and damage the parts.

I can't imagine dust would cause this big of an issue. It's not like it's difficult to clean.
No it's nog I'm just saying if you leave a part out for months and don't clean it or use it for that period of time you could get some dust gritted in there. Just a thought though. Someone would have to actually test it.

Wash it out with water, then.
I don't know where you live that something would get that dusty unless you left it in like the corner of an attic for decades. :')
Here's a nice official carry case/fanny pack from Japan. It'll hold a few. Nothing too big either. It even says "Beyblade" and has a nice graphic on it.

Or if your lazy like me and have laminate floor it only takes a week to have a mountain of dust! But anyway on topic I have a big box with cheap foam cut outs to the size of my beys its a good way of keeping them clean and organized at the same time. I'll post a picture when I'm home from work.
I'm making a drawing for blueprints (if you want to call it that) for a desk with an over hang. There will be a jug of water in the top that hooks up to a little spray bottle. Basically it's just madokas desk. The water is the only thing I could think of that's useful. So it would be a waste to actually manufacture since I don't need a normal desk.

It's cute, but too small and too expensive. :') @[Kei] would look great in it, though.

would be a great addition to my karabiner grip
I, like most people here, use a multi-layered tacklebox to organize my collection. I found a great one a year or so ago with 3 attachable bins that I could put separators in to organize by parts. I use the top layer for clear wheels, spin tracks, performance tips, and facebolts, the middle layer for metal and chrome wheels, and the bottom layer for crystal wheels, launchers, and launcher gear/other accessories. I've found that just keeping my wheels in an enclosed case when I'm not using them reduces oxidation (and that strange smell that seems to come with it) considerably. As for my limited editions and repaints, I currently display them on an open shelf, but am thinking about purchasing a glass display case to give them some level of protection against the oxidation and dust.

Since I first began collecting, over 3 years ago, I have always taken into consideration the competitive value of the Beyblades that I want to purchase. Occasionally I'll buy a bey for its appearance, but the majority of the time, I look into its components and make sure that it 1. Consists of competitive part(s) that I don't already have/have few of or 2. Consists of competitive part(s) that wear out quickly. When I first got it into the hobby, I found it extremely helpful to find Beyblades on the tier list that I was interested in, watch Youtube videos (if possible) of that combination in action, and then go about purchasing the Beyblades that contained the necessary parts (the less I had to purchase, the better), as opposed to spending a ton of money on Beyblades that people recommend and then figuring out what to do with them. If I could give one tip to beginning competitive collectors, it would be to always have a combination in mind when considering a purchase.
Yup. I owe alot to the top tier lists. That was pretty much my buying guide when I first started. Thank you very much for developing it guys.
I have an awesome tackle box, lIke an $80 one, but it is all messed up from fishing. Now I wish I used it for beyblades. Lol

Aw, how come? Collections do grow in time... I've only recently hit 50 beys. Unsmith

Also, on how I prepare for future purchases:
If I know that a beautiful bey is coming out/is out, I rummage for money and always see what I have saved. Smile if that fails; be super nice to my parents. DJ - Yeah!

EDIT: I just realized I have money in my case (in the picture).. Wut!?
I used to have over 1000 Beyblades. Now I have 10.

No shame in starting small, dude.
Yeah, everyone's collection was small at some point. Just keep working/doing chores and stuff and spend your money wisely. I suggest constantly checking ebay or yahoo auctions japan, if you want to use a middleman service, for people who sell their collections for cheap.
Yea. I started six years ago and I only have 134 beyblades, most of which I got in he past year and a half when I got really serious about it. Until then I had maybe 60. And two stadiums. Both of which where has to. AhAh.

Besides as log as your happy with the blades you've got its still fun right?
This seems like the best place to post this:

Getting an anti-fatigue mat for Beyblade at home was the best thing I ever did. And these things are so cheap, any community hosting regular tournaments should have tons of these.
Why what kind of advantages are there. I get that thy won't scratch up wooden floors. But where else is it applicable?
Think of it on playing on a softer terrain on the bases, as they aren't as damaged when launched out of the stadium. It'll give it a lot more weight on parts not being so damaged and what not. Though there are those who play on the same softer floors most notably carpets, rugs, blankets, etc...so when it lands out the base doesn't take scraping damage.

R.I.P SD
Okay that's what o thought. I play on my room on carpet so I don't really need one.

When pieces fly out of the stadium, the hit they take on the floor can damage them to the point it can't be used.

For example, if a Q bounces of the hard wood floor, it could be damaged to the point where it doesn't have its proper movement anymore and is not useable in tournaments.
None of you mentioned the most important part: it is way more comfortable to kneel or rest on your hands, which are both pretty common while playing.
