Yes, that says "Takara", in Katakana. You just have to get familiar with it even if you do not know Japanese.

Thank god! Your a life saver! Oh and one last thing, the eBay thing said "Launcher not included, use your existing launcher" Does it mean there is no left spin Bey Shooter or is it talking about the pistol grip launcher?
On a side note it said it was New, Still factory sealed
It's at the bottom right hand corner IIRC their older logo used to be katakana
EDIT: Kai-Ved.

Anyway, that does not belong here anymore.

Oh, sorry if I did something wrong. But I really apreciate your help! Thank you again.
Uh...question.
On the Meteo L Drago LW105LF pack, it has a logo in Japanese or Korean. It then has a two next to it. Is this real? By the way, some details so you can help: Meteo L Drago is in Japanese and LW105LF is spelled like I have done it. The logo's (TT and SonoKong) are in the bottom left corner. Please help...it my first Bey that I have bought by myself. Usually have the help of a expert. You can ask for extra details.

Yeah, that's the Sonokong version for Metal Fight Beyblade 2 or something. All of the newer Sonokong starters have it.
Tanks, dude/dudette.

You realize that by purchasing them, you're helping give reason to continue to produce the fakes?

im buying just a few so i can take more detailed pictures and review them up close. the store would not let me open the boxes to take pictures. i have to buy a few samples.
im using the original beybaldes from takara tomy.
i love to take a review of the original but its been done several times already on the internet. if i have a chance to get a newly released original product. ill post a review as soon as possible.

In the long run, him buying the fakes can help Beybladers alot. Since he bought them he can distribute pictures and information to help other people to not be tricked by said fakes. I salute you! If I had the funds I would do the same.
here are the pictures. i didnt open the plastic bags because i plan on returning them today and exchanging them for the original. i called the store owner and he likes the idea so long as i dont open the plastic bags. these cheaps fakes are fast sellers than the original because of the price.

the price for the 5 items (2 stadiums and the 3 beyblades) are around 450 pesos (46 pesos is 1 united states dollars) an original takara tomy beyblade with a launcher is around 600 pesos each. so i need to pay an extra 150 pesos for an original single beyblade.
but in the end i think the original is a more bang for my buck because they are more durable. the original takara tomy uses policarbonate plastics and it can be use during the local tournaments here in our country.

I would definitely keep the Stadium to play around with if I was you.

That's a very good idea you've had Boyet.
the place to get fake beyblades in our country (the philippine islands) is either quiapo or greenhills. every "tiange" shop has the fake beyblades and the original are sold at the local toykingdom shop.
what i like about the toykingdom shops is that they already opened some of the random booster vol4 boxes and marked the contents on the box (it sells faster that way). so its a no brainer to get the rare virgo. and its the first box to go. and a lot of buyers gets the whole set of 8. i cant find them on some toykingdom branches and they say its a fast seller than the starter sets.

Its sad that other companies do this, just because they can't get money with their own product the blatantly copy other products that do well to get money. It hurts the sales of said real product and can actualy make said product go off the market. I wonder if thats why Beyblade went on a 4 year hiatus in the first place.
No it's not and no it isn't.
Forgery is whatever.

I said I wonder, I never said I think that is why it went on hiatus. And in my opinion I think its sad to copy other successful products. Anyway, I'll keep a look out for fake products here too. (I'm not sure if fake ones are sold in the U.S. but I'll keep looking anyway)
i would like to know who not to buy from on ebay
Follow Ellz guide, and search the provided pictures on Ebay.
And look at the sellers rating, anything over 90 should be fine.

well i did and i read some threads and there was alot of speculation regarding toys360 & toygalera
Yeah I've heard Toys360 sells fake things even though he has over 97% positive. Also this seller i bought one from, tresorhunters, clames there is no launcher or ripcord included and that I would have to pay 3 extra bucks for a rip cord and 3 for the launcher/bey shooter. Saying quote "The launcher is the bey shooter. If you want set of launcher & ripcord, it's US dollar 6.00." So he is implying that he opend it and took out the shooter (or launcher) and rip cord. I'll let you know when it comes in if he really did or not. It was listed as New, and factory sealed.
