Thanks!

Yes, that seller is legit. Same goes for Wutao___ etc. Purchased Phoenic from like 2 different sellers already. First was $20 Buy it Now, and second was about $12 Auction (both with shipping)

If those sellers are legit, then how do you explain their off-color Shinobi Ifraids?

The seller's name has Rapidity in it, but the listing has Takara in the name and AFAIK Rapidity RDFs are yellow. What do you guys think? If it's real I'm going to buy a bunch, hah.

For the record, I went ahead and ordered three of these, and I just got them in the mail. They seem completely legit; I don't see any differences at all compared to my two RDFs from Sonoking Deaths. I did some research into the subject and I was right about Rapidity RDFs being yellow, and these are most certainly red and seem to actually be from real Deaths.

Lighting? Or whatever..

Fakes do not have stone faces.

EDIT 9/12/12: Now they do ..

The Shinobi crystal wheel from huiyan*2013's Shinobi Ifraid 230WD is green for sure. I bought one. And its not like this is the only inconsistency with the Chinese seller's beys. Their Samurai Orojya 145WD's(which I also bought from huiyan) come with opaque stone faces when they're supposed to be clear.

I could just be overly cautious, but I'm kind of thinking these could be really accurate bootlegs(other than the few color differences). Either that or they're defects like what zionson mentioned.
I would like to know if this Fusion Hades AD145SWD is Legit Takara Tomy/Sono Kong and the seller is legit?

Yes, that is legit .. It has the SonoKong/Takara Tomy Logos on it.

EDIT: Hmm, about the seller .. they do have some fake items up for sale, but doesn't mean that they can't sell legit Beyblades too.
Thank you. I'm just being overly cautious about it. I hate ordering online, but i finally broke down and ordered it last night. But I know seller's can be tricky with their wording on a product, and some really good Fake's have a Legit box with the TT/SK logo's on it, but the bey is fake, So I just needed another opinion on it. But thank you.
There are much better sellers out there, who sell Beyblade for much cheaper than that.

EDIT: Example ..
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Beyblade-Meta...3a799d157b

Bidding on that. Barely anyone bids on that, and other items that the seller sells. I've purchased from him many times, and he is a trusted seller. I remember winning a Big Bang Pegasis, Fang Leone, Scythe Kronos, etc from him for no more than $9 each IIRC.
Yes, he is alot cheaper! Thank you, but I feel much much much more comfortable ordering from a seller that live's and ship's from the US. Which is why I ordered from the guy I did. Uncertain
Would this be real?

I kinda just want it for the Attack Stadium... but all the other ones are more expensive... Just kinda wanna know if it's fake or not.

EDIT: K thx

That's real
I almost bought a fake beyblade off ebay today. Without this guide, I would actually HAVE fake 'blades. Thank's thefightyells.
Are these legit?

http://megafunbox.com/Takara-Tomy-Beybla...93125.aspx

http://megafunbox.com/Takara-Tomy-Beybla...76679.aspx

They're really cheap, I mean $26 AU for the whole set is cheap. Especially when I find a bb-10 for $50 AU by itself.

Yup. Those are authentic. At least that's what the page claims.

The reason for it being cheap... Not a clue.

I'm willing to bet my collection that one of the potential reasons is the fact that shipping isn't factored into the price yet.

You are correct. Shipping adds about $20 or so to it.

And yes, that is a legit site.
This is fake :
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1PCS-Beyblade-Met...3a7a1d6a8f

Damn it Hasbro, this is the model you should have followed ... The graphics are there, easy to do, and it is perfectly reasonable to just sell the 3 Segment Launcher Grip with a graphics card like that.

Yeah, with hasbro, we're basically paying an extra $3 for the box and printing. But we can't so much about that. And I love how they made it look like its made by hasbro.

Edit: They also state that it is by rapidity

Cannon Yeah the shipping for it is quite expensive, well maybe they just want the item to look cheap so people buy it.

Is this legit? Looks quite cheap but they don't have much of the current releases Tongue_out

CD Japan is reliable, but the page says that the item is not available anyway.
Has anyone else come across a fake beyblade company called "Rapidity"? It shows up on eBay all the time, and looks like it's a newbie blader's trap. It's very annoying how all of these random companies show up and sell these copies of real beys.....

We have been aware of rapidity for quite a while now.
