I was going to post in the 'ask a question, get an answer', but feel that I may likely wish to discuss this topic more then would be appropriate for a quick ask and answer thread.

This is probably going to be a total newb question, and I am.
Note: I've used the search feature and did not result in a post answering this question.

When looking to purchase a beyblade, what does 'loose' mean?

In other words, what is the difference between Rock Orso and Loose Rock Orso?

Is it something to do with the type of parts or the method of packaging?
Is it a variation on the regular version of the beyblade?

Loose means it's been used.

I thought loose meant without packaging. oO
Oh well; you learn something new everyday.

That's what I thought/think too. :\

Anyway, a Takara Tomy Rock Orso normally comes with the Extreme BeyStadium. If it's loose, it probably means that you can purchase the Rock Orso alone without the Extreme Bey Stadium.

I am very certain it just means "out of its original packaging". For instance, Toywiz sells a lot of loose Beyblades, and of course they did not use them to play before they sell them ...

I agree, because I bought a legendary pegasus from toywiz 2 months ago and it came by itself in a cardboard box with a sticker sheet and launcher. But the way Toywiz made it sound when they described loose was that you only get a bey with(out) sticker sheet.

"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."
