You're saying look at what it says is collectibles and what's not? Yeah, that's a way to start.
People who participated in tournaments during previous systems can probably provide valuable input.

Organizers sometimes have challenges now in dealing with bladers and parents when stock beys they bought at Walmart can’t be used in their local tournaments. If we introduce a limited format with so many nuances, it quickly becomes nightmarish to legislate and police it...

Would probably help to amend registration to have players register the beys they are entering with at the outset, kind of like the all-deck format that has been proposed elsewhere on here. If there was software that could automatically flag exceptions instead of relying on volunteer organizers that already have enough to worry about on tournament days, that would help a lot.
I'm going to disagree with you that creating a
limited format makes things too complex. The standard
format will remain the most popular, and people who have trouble with
limited can just not attend or borrow parts as needed.
Limited MFB works, and I think the same can go for older systems in
Burst. It's just a matter of how wanted it is, is all.
I think making a parts registration system is actually over-complicating things (register your parts, judge must check that you are using the exact parts, etc.) and puts a limitation in events where there is now flexibilty. I think just having judges available for asking questions at sign-up would suffice. Having available print-outs of what's allowed and what's not would also be good.
If you don't want to run or attend a
limited format, then you don't.
