Hi im new to this. i used to collect beyblades when i was about 12 onwards. thats back when they were the 1st series. i rumages through a bunch of old stuff and found my beyblades and got them back out and i started watching the old to new episodes online. i studied art and media in college and thought id put that to use and i have made my own beyblade almost from scratch. ive used old parts from beyblades from 1st series to 2nd series. i sanded parts down, made my own metal disk for the middle, painted most parts, drew my own character and bit beast and beyblade and i printed out my own bit beast to stick on as a bit chip. i think the new blades are cool. but i do miss the old ones and the old series. but atleast now they are mostly metal and make a cool noise haha. anyway heres a picture i photoshoped of my drawn and photoshoped blade, beast and guy and along side it is the REAL version i customised myself.
