oh, sorry! I try to get it done

and if u do that, u get reward with pink face too!

It is not called "pink face" ... He also only has thirty-seven complete, real Beyblades, so no, he would not get the Rose Gold Face.

I see. lol Kai-V if he wants more beys, he should get some zero g beys haha.

Some manner of Octopus.

Sorry about that, I have an account on Photobucket and I still have the pic saved on my computer's picture file so I upload it onto my album. But I don't have enough beys for the Rose Gold Face because some are either missing parts or have broken parts and are using other bey parts. Here's the pic via photobucket http://s894.photobucket.com/albums/ac150...222012.jpg

this is my collection so far

Here we go, at long last, pictures of my plastic collection. Sorry if they aren't the best, but yeah.

Inside each initial spoiler is an image or two. Kay? K.

I've provided simple lists for those who can't be bothered with my lengthy ramblings, but I do hope my ramblings can kind of communicate some of the immense passion I have for plastics, even the ones that I don't like, in this.
If you want the full details on damage/missing parts etc, you're gonna need to read the whole longwinded thing, sorry.
There's also a Rave about my favourite series and a rant about my least favourite series, in case you're really desperate for reading material.

Oh, and there aren't many of these I'd consider selling, and I haven't worked out posting things internationally yet. My spare parts aren't actually "spare", I use most of them for various things.

Lastly, not all the WD's and SG's are correct because honestly, I simply can't be bothered, haha. :3 Might have some closeups for the photo gallery thread later on, including one of the Ariel 2 AR I used for three battles, haha.

#1 Ultimate Dragoon (Hasbro) - That is one beautiful bit chip! I need to fix the AR stickers. I can't bring myself to use this thing or use its bit sticker or anything, it's just too beautiful. Being #1, It's a very special beyblade, one I don't think any collection could be considered anywhere near complete without.

#8 Bistool (Hasbro) - The lion is so cute! (And yes, that is a 10 balance on it.) It's pretty overrated outside of Hasbro Stadiums, and is ridiculously easy prey for anyone with a decent sliding shoot in BB-10 (and even tornado attack), but it's a very nice beyblade for benchmarking less-overpowered attackers and it's quite good for outspinning other compacts and stuff, I guess. Still, not compact if it's weight isn't actually centred, is it?

#13 Jumping Base (Hasbro) - Green Tiger Defenser! There's also a pretty cool combo with the base on Damashii, Upper Dragoon and 10 Heavy, with the sharp tip. Not great but kinda cool to see. But yeah, GREEN TIGER DEFENSER! And of course, making hopper attacker.

#17 Dragoon Grip Attacker (Hasbro) – It is a lovely base to have. Shame about the right spin only. The tip itself is slightly slower than Ariel 2's, though it's already at a great speed, Ariel 2's also has better grip due to the softer rubber, and as such can use much more aggressive AR's, as well as left spin. Still, it is an absolutely fantastic base, at a good height, and so on.

#18 Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger (Hasbro, Phantom Force) – A stunning beyblade. Shame the tip isn't really as great as it's made out to be in battle due to being somewhat unstable, but it's such a pretty blade anyway!

#27 Dranzer Auto Change Balancer (Takara) - Strange little thing, the base is pretty good in stamina mode, the AR is supposed to be nicely balanced, but this one is mold one so it's generally too fragile to use.

#32 Draciel Metal Ball Defenser (Hasbro) – I didn't really like this beyblade when I bought it, but when I received it, it grew on me. Nice stamina. Also, the two holes at the bottom can snugly fit two more metal balls, though that's not currently legal, it was extremely common in official Japanese tournaments, apparently. That said, it wrecks the stamina, so eh.

#33 Sparkling Attacker (Takara) – Well, I was after a spark knight, but I guess someone had to confirm the rumours that this thing sucked carp. It does. Mine is missing the flint, and I removed the spark paper to make it more like a Hasbro one instead of an AR that slowly sanded itself into oblivion as it spins. Then, one of the parts on the bottom of the external ring broke so it catches some time. But yeah, I will write an article on it pretty soon, because I did use it a lot, hoping to salvage something out of it defensively. I didn't manage to salvage anything out of it defensively.

#35 Driger S (Hasbro) – I was after a dragoon fantom as a kid, because the AR had a huge 9 Stars total! Instead I bought Driger S for 8 heavy (because I liked the star distribution). I was hugely disappointed when I got home that I chose it over Dragoon F. Eventually, though, I stuck the tip in my spiral change base and it did magical, albeit illegal things. The tip is very worn, and I have another gold sonokong driger s on the way with a new tip, seeing as I lost the first sonokong tip at my plastics tournament. Probably the most perfect beyblade ever produced.

#35 Driger S (Takara): Hey, it's a great beyblade, what's wrong with doubles?

#35 Driger S (Takara): Look guy, I really like Driger S okay!?

#36 Death Driger (Hasbro): Yeah, I wanted Star Shape to make Hopper Attacker (Kenny's Bey). I'm after a purple one for authenticity, though, but it was released in an early random booster and as such isn't easy to find. The Base Clips are nice, too. Fit with SG Metal Ball, smoothing out the sides. Some Trypio's also have these, though I don't know which manufacturer it was (probably takara, or at least some takara molds, as I recall the fake takara one I had as a kid had the nice large clips).

#47 Kid Dragoon (Hasbro): Won this in a lot off ebay. I hate the colour, but it's a nice enough beyblade.

Talk (Click to View)

A-1 Dragoon S (Hasbro) – Think that's the right number anyway. My third beyblade, one I never really liked, other than the left SG. In retrospect, I wish I took better care of it. That said, it is the only one of my first three beyblades (I got Dranzer S and Galzzly a day or two earlier, for my birthday) that is almost entirely in-tact, my first Galzzly's base is around somewhere but is worn to the point that it's significantly lower than normal, and my Dranzer's base was illegally modified, and the spring is messed up.

A-2 Dranzer S (Hasbro): The top half of the base is actually from my original Dranzer S, one of my first two beyblades. I loved the base. It had the most stars, and looked really cool, and always worked pretty well for me. So yeah, I bought another to replace my modified one and because I really love the blue base.

A-3 Galeon (Unknown) – One of the SAR wings is cracking, so I don't use it. I have one or two broken ones as well, War Lion is extremely fragile (and Cross Griffon smashed one base up last week). Honestly, War Lion is too oval shaped for me, and there's too much room for attackers to get in, but the SAR is nice.

A-9 Galzzly (Takara)- I had to replace mine, every part of it is damaged or lost. I'm so glad I finally found a use for it, though. The SAR is kinda beat-up (darned ferocious thang), but the rest is real nice

A-9 Galzzly Hyperblade (Hasbro)- I regret using the SAR, as the underside pattern of this one is different, it doesn't stay in place as well after a little use, and looks hideous when damaged, so using it was a terrible waste. I might touch up the purple wing with a spot of paint so that it still looks pretty.

A-10 Galman (Takara) – I liked the star ratings it has as a kid, though I only had a fake. I don't really like it that much though.

A-11 Wolborg (Takara) – Decent tip, but much like MDBS, it's not really stable enough. Still a nice beyblade to own, though it's not a favourite, given the ugly AR. That said, it lines up real nice with wide survivor, with two nubs for spin stealing, shame it's a bit recoil, but you can see what they wanted to do

A-14 Draciel S (Hasbro)– My original one has an unusable tip, and the sonokong gold one's tip doesn't work very well. But yeah, it's a nice base, haha. Shame Draciels went downhill from here.

A-17 Trygle (Hasbro, though it appears there are two different Hasbro molds, it's impossible for either to be Takara or Fake): Bought this off a friend when I remembered he had one as a kid, after reading about it on here. I always use the AR as a benchmark for other AR's. It's never really astounded me because I'm used to Cross Griffon which just seems better no matter what setup. Still, it's a nice AR to have, and not needing Wide Defense on grip base is a good advantage over cross griffon.


A-17 Trygle (Hasbro) – Won it in a lot. Couldn't find the bit sticker, but yeah. Having a backup is nice, but ehh. Oh, the skis on both trygles are starting to crack, so yeah.

A-18 Trypio (Hasbro) – Actually the reason I bought the aforementioned lot, only realising it was Hasbro later. Still, it looks really, really nice uncustomised (though some stickers would be nice), and is nice to have.

A-18 Trypio (Takara) – WHEEEE FLYING BEYBLADE! Had a fake as a kid, it was huge and sucked, but still cool to have.

A-24 Driger F (Unknown) – Honestly, I think it's an absolutely hideous looking beyblade, and a terrible follow up to the very pretty driger S. However, the shaft is really, really useful. Still, when I re-watched the anime, the moment Ray changed to driger F I screamed expletives at my screen loudly for a good minute.

A-25 Dragoon F (Hasbro) – Missing the SAR, I broke it against my sister in battle, and that break was the one that made me retire from beyblade for a good few years. IT HAS 9 STARS GUYS. 9 WHOLE STARS. THREE IN EACH STAT! I spent so long hunting for it, too. My original base is missing, and my second one's AR is missing. It's not a great beyblade, but it is iconic enough to me that I always picture dragoons with RED tips, instead of Blue.

A-25 Dragoon F (Hasbro) – See above, a new replacement. You know, Fantom grip is a decent base.

A-28 Griffolyon (Takara) – This Beyblade. This Beyblade. Man, the AR is as good as the base is bad, I had a fake one as a kid, used it until I could get a dragoon F, and even then kept using it. Another fake Cross Griffon combo dominated at my school and was famed for breaking opponents. It's also a pretty blue colour and a rather attractive beyblade. Though, it will break your stuff.

A-31 Master Dragoon (Hasbro) - MUCH nicer than Kid Dragoon, and quite a nice beyblade overall. I just love how it looks. It really does look "mature" like a "Master" dragoon should. A really good choice of colour and theme, and boy, is it an improvement aesthetically over the horrid yellow of kid dragoon.

A-32 Master Dranzer HyperBlade (Hasbro) – Yeah, it's okay, but I was really after a blue one. It's near mint, and I think I still have the box, so I might sell it eventually.

A-32 Master Dranzerzer[/b] (Takara) – Much better. Though the AR is cracking a little, I never use it and could just replace it pretty easily. Eh. The base is pretty cool, decent LAD, nice defensive compact thingo, and the AR is really brutal, but has recoil issues. Quite a nice beyblade overall.

A-33 Master Draciel (Takara) – Hm, can't find the bit chip. Probably have a spare sticker somewhere anyway. A nice AR, r0ckbull explained the concept of it to me the other day, it's all about grinding down opponents and light force smash, and it does work really nicely. Also nice for gatyakki and stuff. It took me a while to understand it, but yeah, I really like this AR, and I really like this beyblade.

A-35 Draciel F (Unknown) – Eh. It's overrated in the current (hilariously flawed) beywiki article, and the weird combinations possible with it just aren't my thing. I have both normal and special stickered AR's, too.

A-36 Wyborg (Hasbro) – It's wyborg. The last beyblade of that lot I got off ebay. The bit sticker is on the wrong side because the other side has another sticker, and it's damaged because the wyborg sticker was placed on top of that, and beginning to fall off. If only it were saleable, haha.

A-37 Master Driger BBA Championship Ver. (Hasbro): It sucks, but it looks kinda cool, and the bitchip is creepy. Drigers are cool, even when they suck. That said, all the other Master beyblades were good. Driger used up all its good in the main line.

A-39 Wolborg 2 (Unknown) – One of my two wolborg 2's. A first mold of the AR, though why it would need reinforcement I don't know, perhaps because the spikes hit at such an awkward angle. Nice base and very good tip. Oh, and the casings are pretty handy too

A-39 Wolborg 2 (Hasbro) – Suprisingy, my second mold AR is the more beat up one. It was like that when I got it. Always good to have a backup tip, though I still lack a mint one.

V2 RAAAAAVE (Click to View)

Ahh, V2's, my favourite series. Also almost everyone's favourite series, but yeah. Maximum customization, beautiful designs, some great parts. They really nailed it. It's a shame they didn't just keep making these instead of making engine gears, we might have made it to 4 seasons. And I really think they could have done it, too. The SP concept had so much more potential than the extremely limited number of designs they released! It's a huge shame, one that actually makes me sad, that they decided to drop that for G Revolution… As far as I can tell, unlike the power creep of MFB, that move didn't even make sense financially (at least, we know the V2 series were popular among enthusiasts, and the G series weren't, so…) Furthermore, they could have released way more customize bases. There was no customize metal flat (though it may have been legal at that time to swap tips, under takara's rules at least. Wonder if the customization guidebook I have coming will tell me >)

Oh, there are also V's here. Yeah, they're pretty cool, they started really experimenting with base designs more, even if it didn't really produce anything particularly great, it was a great step towards the brilliance that would be V2. Plus, as a kid, I thought these looked totally Mad-Sweet. They were just a bit more aggressive and mature than the previous beys, and I loved every bit of it. Shame none ever popped up in stores when I was really into beyblade (my Dragoon F SAR broke, and they were banned at my school, so I kind of lost a bit of interest).

Talk (Click to View)

A-41 Dragoon V (Takara)- Man, it looks so aggressive, the clear tip (which I refuse to call rubber, it acts exactly like plastic.) looks awesome, and the base is pretty cool, and basically my perfect "Dragoon" base. Earlier ones had no spikes, later ones were too fat to match the "sleekness" I think all dragoons should have. Throw on 8 spiker and the red tip from Ariel 1, and you've got my perfect dragoon (perhaps with a little gold spray paint on the WD).

A-47 Flash Leopard (Unknown): No, it doesn't quite measure up to Galeon and Driger S's extremely high standard, but it's a pretty good beyblade. The AR's attack power is a little overrated, Wing Cross might be more aggressive, perhaps, but it's still a nice little boost over Tiger Defenser, albeit usually not worth the defensive trade off. Oh yeah, I could only find one flash leopard bitbeast, which I put on FL2, but I had this cool lightning bird thing with huge feet that looked awesome on it, especially with a light yellow (dark gaia dragoon maybe?) and orange (Burning Kerberous) two tone Neo SG setup. There are so many recolours it's just ridiculous, but still a nice beyblade.

A-54 Flash Leopard 2 (Takara): Know why Ozuma started losing to Tyson? Because he started using this turd of a beyblade.

A-56 Dranzer V (Takara): It's basically a Dranzer S but not as good, but the base is decent for attack and has passable survival, and the AR is a surprisingly decent mix of Smash with a little Upper. It's also quite pretty. Not a must have, but if tip swapping ever becomes legal, it would be a hot commodity due to the shorter MG Core which can hold tips in at lower heights. Oh yeah, shorter MG Core. Little known fact that, but one that's been independently confirmed by benjohadi and a couple others.

A-64 Cyber Dragoon (Takara) – Okay, one of the best looking beyblades, but also one of the least useful. Despite the aggressive appearance, the AR has a whole lot of recoil and, most surprisingly, very little smash. It doesn't focus the force behind points, it hits with flat faces, and so it just cannot land hard hits, and damages itself extremely fast. A real shame, but it's real pretty and has a sweeeeet bitbeast.

A-67 Draciel V (Takara) – A terrible beyblade, but I love the design. My base has broken ball holders, but it's not exactly competitive anyway. This was the point where draciel bases began to really suck.

A-69 Dragoon V2 (Takara) (Minus Tip and MG WD): Just bought it for the base, but it's a very pretty beyblade, and a great introduction to the V2 series. Shame the beywiki article is so full of errors that could easily be averted with even basic fact checking, but oh well. The AR is actually really nice, it's what OHKO should be: Things that actually have smash as well as recoil, not things like Cybernetic Dragon and Whale Crusher that are all recoil and no smash.

A-69 Dragoon V2 (Takara) (Minus Tip, Normal Core and MG WD): I did want the tip this time, and another MG WD would have been nice, but it didn't work out. The Bases usage is kind of overrated. Customize Bearing Base is better for stamina, Offense setups generally scrape, are too tall, and/or customize bearing base works better, For Grip Defense though, it's great.

A-69 Dragoon V2 (Takara) (MG WD Missing Plastic Casings): It's quite normal that the plastic edging is missing, and honestly, it should probably be legal without them. It's not particularly useful for anything without them anyway, some spin stealing I guess but the weight distro isn't good enough and you need SP with good LAD, and generally you're better off buying something else, because MG WD is pretty decent with the casings, probably better than without.
ANYWAY! An absolutely stunning beyblade, my second-newest acquisition (thanks to JR_Tiger). The tip is the third-fastest ribber tip in plastics, and is hugely underrated. It does have some tendency to skip tornado ridges when knocked backwards, but it's not a *huge* deal, and it's generally cheaper than Grip Base and definitely cheaper than Ariel 2.

A-75 Driger V2 (Takara): The AR is first mold because I gave my second mold one to r0ckbull so he could revive the beyblade he beat me with at the last tournament. I kinda prefer the first mold one anyway. SP are second mold. A great out of the box beyblade, excellent all around. Another Excellent V2 beyblade.

A-77 Voltaic Ape (Takara, Green AR, MG WD missing plastic): I prefer the Red AR/version, but at least I'm comfortable not keeping this one together. Defense Ring is an amazing Support Part, and yeah, it's a nice bey. The Base actually has some LAD, because the tip isn't just metal sharp, it's got the surrounding plastic that gives it extra stability. A surprisingly decent base.

A-77 Voltaic Ape (Takara): UNGH SO BEAUTIFUL. The prettiest plastic IMO, I just adore the look of this thing, especially with an intact MG WD. It's a shame I have to use the defense ring, because it just looks SO AMAZING. I want like a million of these to make a bed out of, metal sharp tip or no metal sharp tip. There's an article up for it, btw.

A-78 Gaia Dragon V (Takara): Another great looking beyblade, and an extremely useful one too! I've fallen in love with the AR ever since I figured out the war bear thing, and the base is fantastic too! It's a lovely shade of purple, and a great looking beyblade. Shame mine's a bit messed up, but I will print off some new stickers eventually and give it a clean up.

A-81 Dranzer V2 (Takara) (most of the clutch is missing): Honestly, it's kinda overrated as a beyblade, but it has nice SP, an attractive AR (though, I have 4 so I get a bit sick of it), and most of the parts are decent all around. Driger V2 is still the best uncustomized V2, though.

A-81 Dranzer V2 (Takara): Took me a while to get a working one. I have one AR from an RC Version, two from the beyblades, and another one I got as a bonus, as well as three cross survivor SP. The Bitchip is wonderful though, so much detail!

A-82 Burning Kerberous (Takara): I didn't mess it up, it came like that when I bought it from whoever I bought it off. Still, only need the Base, and it gives me a free AR to muck around with. The AR is actually pretty underrated. It's not consistent, but one of the wings has absolutely monstrous OHKO power.

A-82 Burning Kerberous (Takara): Much Nicer. Beautiful bitbeast, and the base is just awesome, and it has the second best survival in-battle of any base/sg, after only the unstoppable Spiral Change Base. This is due to the utterly amazing stability it has. Whereas Wolborgs and Bearing Stingers tips get knocked over and then hit on top of the AR, reducing stamina somewhat, this one has a much longer life before it needs to rely on LAD, and steals spin much better as it generally only gets hit side-on, and generally topples last. You should own one, seriously, or wolborg 4 will make you its personal servant.

A-85 Draciel V2 (Takara) (minus one SP): The AR is passable. The SP aren't a favourite of mine, generally good attackers don't need to use SP to attack because they should be low enough to use their AR's, as AR's are far more effective. These just introduce recoil and break easily. Bleh. Also the base is pretty darned terrible, but with cross survivor, 8 balance, and Draciel G's AR, it reminds me of Gamerra.

Hey guys, we just made bases awesome and customizable! Let's now go in the opposite direction and release all but one beyblade from this point on with oversized, tall, recoil, low LAD, utterly useless bases, just to use a fragile and largely ineffective gimmick SG in every single one of them, and release most of them with the same tip! THIS DEFINITELY WON'T KILL THE FRANCHISE! – Takara's Beyblade Design Team and marketing divisions, 2003. One helluva drug…

That said, there are some great AR's, and some of these beys did look pretty cool, and the GT beys were pretty cool with the CEW's and Gimmick EG's. But seriously, WHY THE HELL DID THEY THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA!??!

WORDSWORDSWORDS (Click to View)

A-89 Dragoon G (Takara): Eight Spiker is a great AR, 10 Wide is a decent weight disk, but this thing is everywhere. That said, Eight Spiker is still the "Dragooniest" AR in my mind, and I actually hunted for this bey for years, due to being unable to buy online. Base and SG Suck, of course.

A-89 Dragoon G (Sonokong): The moulding is slightly "sharper" on sonokong beys, idk why, and the plastic is less glossy. I only got it because it came with a stadium. Still nice to have, and who knows, the spike attack could be improved by the more defined moulding!

A-94 Driger G (Takara): Triple Tiger really is a fantastic AR. I wish it had just a little more smash, but it's still a great Smash AR with good upper to boot. 10 balance is okay, and as usual, the base and sg suck.

A-95 Metal Driger (Takara): I like the AR on a green SG Sharp Base with the BBA logo bitchips. Looks real official like, so I normally have two sitting around. Oh, HMC is pretty neat

A-95 Metal Driger (Takara): See above

A-95 Metal Driger (Takara) (HMC bought separately, clutch missing): It was free, minus the HMC which I got later as a bonus in another order). I just use the base to hold my rock bison together.

A-98 Rock Bison (Hasbro) (CEW Part tip is mucked up, Wolborg 4 Base instead). I bought a takara one the other day for some reason. Must remember not to go on ebay while drunk. The Ar is like dranzer V2's but the wrong way round so instead of upper it has recoil. Ugggghhhhh

A-99 Dranzer G (Takara): The AR has a huge load of recoil and relatively limited smash (hey guys let's call it ohko despite its inability to ko anything that'll be great ok). I just bought it as it was the only dranzer I've never owned. I should've bought another dranzer F instead. The lack of an interesting base gimmick and use of the generic Right EG (Metal Semi Flat) means this is easily the worst dranzer ever, and frankly, it shouldn't be considered a dranzer. Heck, even the two illegitimate children of Dranzer and a pile of carp (Ability to live forever = PARTY HARD, Okay?), Metal Dranzer and Knight Dranzer, have Neo SG Casings and SG Semi Flat respectively. That said, the AR is pretty (even if it looks more like a falcon head than a phoenix head), though I expected much more from it that what it delivers.

A-100 Wolborg 4 (Takara) The 100th release under the A-code, and proof that no matter how hard you try to ruin a franchise, you'll eventually create something that is almost good enough to compensate for the rest of your efforts (or lack thereof). Wolborg 4's EG Circle Survive may just be the single most underrated part of any generation of beyblades, and also one of the strongest parts in plastics. It's a mostly free spinning, almost perfectly circular plastic shell. Do you know what that means? If you don't make AR/WD height contact as an attacker, you don't do ANYTHING, and hitting that high usually limits your ability to take on things like Grip-Based defense quite severely. It's also basically immune to upper attack (or any low-mid height smash attacker) has good stamina and great stability. It functions better against opposite spin opponents, as it almost always does better out of spin stealing, and only the absolute best, most stable Zombie beyblades can outspin it, it is THE litmus test that separates the good zombies from the best zombies. Less amazing against right spin, however hits recharge its engine gear, so it's still quite effective.
Honestly, I should just buy them all off ebay and flip them for double the price when you all realise that you should have bought one. Y'all jus' lucky I'm lazy and short of cash

A-100 Wolborg 4 (Takara): My newest acquisition. Absolutely beautiful. The only good wolborg bit chip, btw. Nice new sharp tip, completely unused, need to test it a little but will probably only give it a few runs before a tournament.

A-104 Draciel G (Sonokong) (Broken EG): Uhh, the AR reminds me of gamerra in that combination… Uh, 10 Wide is okay (but why the hell they gave it to a draciel I don't know. Just further proof they decided draciel wasn't defense any more). The EG tip slips over tornado ridges way too easily, the base is clunky and has recoil and is just yuck.

A-108 Gaia Dragoon G (Takara): Uhh, it looks okay I guess, kinda funky. Oh, the EG tip is pretty cool, like an EG (aka Worse) version of Driger F's Full Auto Clutch Shaft. So, one of the best EG Tips. Also the only one that was never made into a CEW by either Takara or Hasbro, for no apparent reason (unless Hasbro released another Gaia Dragoon G in the line with Blue Dragoon G, Red Dranzer G, Dark Green Draciel G and Black Driger G and somehow there's no trace of it anywhere). Way to go guys. Oh, and despite having one of the better attack tips, it's still too tall to be remotely useful for anything and all the bases suck or can't use its eg power properly (normal base isn't too heavy, but yeah, no clutch/always-clutch).

A-109 Flame Pegasus (Takara): I LOVE the AR! It's well distributed and a decent choice for compacts and survival and stuff. The gimmick is sweet, and it's the first time they realised "Hey, we could be more creative than just engines". Honestly, it's really a GT Blade. It's not great, but it's a lot of fun, and a nice purchase.

A-112 Dragoon GT (Hasbro) (Missing engine gear, using spare reverse eg to keep it together): My EG broke pretty quickly, and that made me quit beyblade again (hey I was delicate ok). Only cost me like 18 bucks bac in the day, off ebay. A wonderfully underrated AR, one of the top tier Left Spin Attack AR's (Along with 8 Spiker, Dragon Breaker+War Bear SAR and Great Dragon+Screw Zeus). The CEW is pretty cool, and the beyblade as a whole just looks fantastic. The GT's as a whole were a large improvement over the G series, but the height is again crippling.

A-117 Dranzer GT (Hasbro): Again, cheap on Ebay, an absolutely amazing attack ring, a nice gimmick, and the clutch is supposed to be a bit quicker to kick in than other Final Clutch bases (giving it the fan nickname of "Middle Clutch", though honestly, they both just kick in on contact so whatever). It looks absolutely fantastic (especially with that green wide defense), if a touch fat, but yeah, a true addition to the Dranzer line, and one of my favourite beyblades overall.

A-129 Zeus (Takara) (Missing Tip): Menacing, imposing, and generally bad***, Zeus Rounds out the GT series nicely. I wish I had the tip (which is strikingly similar to PD, same material and everything), though Metal Sharp CEW is the only way I've found to give it any LAD. The SG isn't hugely useful due to lack of LAD and being right spin locked, but yeah, it's a wonderful bey and I was very lucky to get my hands on it.

RB6 Red Galeon (At least, that's what it appears to be. It has a flat base like BBA Balancer, but the stickers are galleons and it has the green-blue bitchip, which I've seen others have). Anyway, what a beautiful beyblade! My only surviving War Lion SAR, too. War Lion ARs get beat up pretty easily due to the thin details, so they look bad after even a little use. Hopefully my shot is bad enough that you can't make it out!

RB7 Silver Gabriel (SAR and SG from White Ver.): The Best zombie AR in left spin, an interesting if useless base, and a rather uncommon weight disk in Revolver Attack! A very nice blade!

RB8 Dark Driger: My first one, the one I actually use. The bit chip faded somehow. It has a couple of dents because I generally use the parts for right-spin smash. The AR is underrated as hell, it's fantastic for OHKO, under the recoil it is a very, very powerful AR, and the most viable Right Spin OHKO AR I've encountered. The SAR doesn't really interfere that much, so yeah. The main weakness is its Recoil, not the SAR, and even then it's still a fantastically powerful AR.
The SP being three sided and somehow not having as much LAD as Defense Ring means I dislike it on zombies, but yeah, a good right spin attack SP (which is much needed, due to the fact many popular right spin attack AR's are also three-sided). So yeah, cool blade.

RB8 Dark Driger: My display one I bought just to assuage my guilt about using my other one. Also it's hawt.

RB8 Ariel 2 (All parts except one SP and Bit Chip heavily damaged, one SP Chipped and Missing): So I used a Ariel 2 for a few battles. Ooops. Oh, the tip is quite worn too, being my primary attack tip. Even when worn, it's still consistent, so yeah.

RB8 Ariel 2 (Clips broken but still present): I used the rubber once, other than that it's totally mint. I may end up needing the rubber if my current one wears out too much, but yeah. (In case you were wondering, it is not for sale for anything short of a small fortune, far more than what it is worth, and enough to comfortably buy me many, many more).

RB9 Blue Death Gargoyle AR (+Wide Survivor, Right SG, Ancient SG Flat Base): Most people forget that DGMS wasn't the first Death Gargoyle, but trufax, it wasn't! It's not a very useful AR, too round for attack, too much recoil for anything else. But it looks kinda cool and it's nice to have, especially with the huge "DEATH GARGOYLE" written on it's terribly garish stickers!!!~<3

Red Gaia Dragoon
Guardian Driger
Ariel
White Gabriel G

Talk (Click to View)

Red Gaia Dragoon: The AR is real nice with Screw Zeus in left spin, but still not quite my thing, I feel bad using it. The base is pretty cool, nice and controllable, and it has decent distribution for upper attack, with the G-Ball SG giving it some centralised weight (however, unless you like being hit in the eye by small metal balls/searching for small metal balls, you can't use another SG with it, and G Ball doesn't fit into any other bases). Also, it has very poor stamina after it loses balance as the ball holders scrape the stadium floor bad.
That said, it's in good shape, just a tiny bit of sticker damage and an almost invisible nick or two.

Guardian Driger: So pretty. Not very useful, but easily one of the most beautiful beys, especially when held up to a light source. Beautiful!

Ariel: Kinda worn, but a nice bey. If I didn't like the red tip in Dragoon V's base so much, I'd probably look for a trade or some kind of exchange for a black one, so I could use the AR for zombies, because it's nicely distributed and shares twin horn's profile in left spin. Probably wouldn't be as good, I can't really do much more testing in case I break it, but yeah, it's definitely better than Turtle Survivor, and if the slight raised sections on the top of the foreheads wore back a little, it'd probably be darned handy. Not in the best nick, that's how I bought it, but yeah, it was cheap. Oh, the contact area of the tip is the same as Dragoon V2's, so it is actually a fast tip, and seems to handle recoil better than CGB.

White Gabriel G: Despite showing revolver attack on the box, I'm now certain this beyblade comes with 10 Wide. It's not as good as a Takara Twin Horn or Tiger Defenser for survival, however, it is my favourite defensive zombie AR, with a War Lion SAR. A Red War Lion SAR looks amazing, especially with the red bitchip I have, of Vullpace, which is just the hawtness like you don't even know.

Two Random Hasbro things (Click to View)

[Image: Bleughbeys.jpg]
Remote Control Dranzer V2: My mum threw the launcher out in my old toy box, and the sides where the tip is are filed back because it was scraping on the ground or something, and it has a hideous black paint job too. It was still quite cool beating people with it, unless they could pocket you in a Hasbro stadium (and even then you could still stand a chance of jumping out), by using the life after death of the motor. It wasn't really controllable though, but yeah.

Hayate 2 (weight ring shattered, tip worn, bit chip disappeared today): Yes the base is arse. The AR, however, is a mad god-beast of smash and chaos, and is actually really good if you customize right. Mine has the lame poles but dan's sending me a new one without them :3

Random Combos I threw together and other leftover parts, 4 Total (Click to View)

[Image: RandomCombos.jpg]

Seaborg 2 AR w/ Seaborg Base: Never had the base for my Seaborg 2 AR, and my Whale Attacker broke. It can't perform waterfall but it looks kinda cool. You know, Seaborg 1's base was a definitive part, as was seaborg 2's AR. So yeah, COMBINED. They should have made more seaborgs.

Flame Wing, Blue Plated Wide Attack, and Driger V2 SG, Base, SP: Pretty cool set up, the slopes and wd points line up. Not competitive but definitely fun, and could probably work okay, shame about wide attack's cruddy weight distro, but yeah, a pretty nice setup.

Kid Dragoon (Metal Master)/Wide Defense/Black Gaia Dragoon Base: I don't have the AR or WD for the black Gaia Dragoon, and one of the clips snapped when I first put it in, the other not long after, but yeah. It's a pretty cool base as mentioned earlier. I have the SAR in my spare parts.

Gyro AR(+Wide Survivor+SG Semi Flat): You may have been wondering why I called Twin Horn the best Zombie AR, without mentioning Gyro AR. Well, jus' between you and me, Gyro AR is overrated to heck. See the flat edges? They don't like being hit and cause stamina loss. The slop also means it often gets force smashed by opponents, so it gets hit in those gaps from above much easier. Twin Horn and Tiger Defenser are both better. Rest of the parts were spare. Anyway yeah, I might even sell it at some point, once I've devalued it by being honest about it not being great because I have no business sense. Just like MDBS's tip, it's great for solo spin and not much else. Oh, it's probably better than twin horn in right spin because twin horn has recoil, but Tiger Defenser seems to perform better there, soooooo…

Leftover Parts
[Image: leftoverparts.jpg]
A few things here, just leftover AR's and wd's. No, the wide defense isn't "not being used", I need ALL of my stupid number of wide wd's. Sorry :c

Sonokong Gold Series, 4 total (Click to View)

[Image: GoldSeries.jpg]
Well, they're all there. I generally just bought them for spare tips, though I use the Tiger Defenser, Left SG, and Spiral Change Base, along with wide survivor, to make a left spin spiral change base zombie. Wheeeee.

Grand total: 93, I have a few more coming (well, bump king and driger V, and supposedly a new golden Driger S and a Rock Bison, though some things went on so they may not show up, but I wouldn't mind a refund, honestly). That said, not all of those pictured are legal and a helluva lot of base clips are missing. I would have bought a bump king as number 100 had I noticed that I had the chance, but the sale ended tomorrow sooo…

So yeah, that's my collections and ramblings on it. ENJOY!


Oh, and yeah, most of them aren't too thrashed, the worst ones are either my really ancient ones, or ones I got second hand like that, haha.

I forgot to scan the stickers in my excitement when I received the order it was in, sadly.

I do have a close-up photo of it: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b267/A...rgoyle.jpg

The original is slightly higher resolution than that (3264x2448 vs 2023x1517), but photobucket auto compresses things, but if you want that, you'll need to come up with a way for me to send it to you, haha.

I can try scanning the AR, but I think photography is the best avenue, as the two small poles on top of the AR at the ends of the wings mean it's hard to get a flat scan of it.

Now, for the fun part - this is an interactive update, yay!

There are things here that I do not recognize - mostly weight disks. If anyone with enough time on their hands would not mind, could you identify the Beyblades here, their weight disks, etc? I know what 90% of them are, but there are some WDs here that just confuse me. I know there is a Star something or other in there, and one of the WDs looks to be fake(the one on the Dranzer G with limited edition stickers).

This was my birthday present from said benefactor, lol~

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new: an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto, "Anyone can cook." But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist can come from anywhere."
