You should try weighing them, but that is an official Hasbro product.

Just a note, and I don't know if this has been mentioned in the thread (sorry, it's a fairly long thread) ... but many of the factories that produce authentic Takara-Tomy Beyblades ALSO produce fake (e.g., Rapidity) Beyblades. Take the Shantou Chenghai Grandbo Toys Factory in Guangdong, China, for example. It produces actual Takara Tomy Beyblades (they're a TT supplier) but also produces fake Beyblades.

Example:

All these Beyblades come from the same factory in China.

That is very interesting, zionson. But what does this mean? Does TT know this? But most importantly, why do the factory's do this?

Whoa there now skipper. It's still entirely possible that it's actually fake, as sellers CAN lie about what they sell, even though they are not allowed to.

Eastcider, if you wouldn't mind, could you take some photos if the beys parts and packaging if possible?

Well, Kai-V said it was real, so chances are, it is real.

Of course, I am just basing my opinion on what the seller shows, but they could indeed not be selling exactly the same thing ... However, from what we can see, it is entirely real.

see the packaging all looks real that is why i jumped on it for my dark wheel. but also the online battle code claims its already been used. which is odd.
this bey stands out from all othe rmetal masters i own will post pictures tonite ....

All these Beyblades come from the same factory in China.

That is very interesting, zionson. But what does this mean? Does TT know this? But most importantly, why do the factory's do this?

It's almost certain TT knows of it. Why they let it happen is a mystery.

As to why the factories do this ... it's China. That's all I can say.

I was wondering zionson, where did you come across that information? Are they classified by the letters and symbols on the parts?

Yes, it's a real Dark Wolf, haha.

It just appears to be a more reinforced "mold" of the Metal Wheel. Some Metal Wheels have mold differences, and something like this is common.

I've seen those and I'd have been inclined to think they were real if not for the ridiculously low price and the sellers' locations (mainland China). Proceed with caution.

My bet is these are real items coming from the factory that produces the new Zero-G beys but MAY have some factory defect of some sort. That is to say, genuine items from the factory but do not pass QA for one reason or the other. Factory overruns.

Not sure what you mean by letters and symbols on the parts, but the information can be dug up in Alibaba, a wholesaler website.

It's very easy if you're able to open the box. You take a peek at the sticker.

Like this:

Then you close up the box again and put clear tape on it, restoring it to practically MiB/NiB.

I see. Thank you

This is weird because it shows the real one but in the tittle it says MR145DS and I'm not sure. Also, in the last picture it has a fake box (Or is it?) and the first box is Takara Tomy. PLEASE HELP! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004774...d_i=507846

I would definitely avoid buying that.

Not to argue, but my friends have bought that same item, and I saw the box it came in. It is real TT. Also, it says Authentic TAKARA-TOMY, and Amazon is always trust-worthy(bought beys from it before).

"Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"

I can confirm it's legit, I bought the damn thing, and it had the TAKARA-TOMY logo on the box, everything was as it should be, nothing suspicious at all.

Sellers can sell both Rapidity and TAKARA-TOMY at the same time ya know.
