Old-timer trying to come back from hiatus (again)!

Hi WBO Fam!

This is xVaretyr, and after a few years of being away from the scene, I'm trying to get up to speed (albeit slowly) to the Burst scene.

A little bit of background - I was mostly active on the latter part of 2015 and early 2016, helping WBO friends from Canada/Australia/India/USA get Plastics and HMS through my selling thread:

I was also there when Burst first came out, and I got the following back in 2015 for my birthday/Christmas treat: B-08 Start Dash Set, B-02 Spriggan Spread Fusion, B-05 Spriggan Heavy Defense, B-13 Valkyrie Spread Survive, B-14 Wyvern Armed Massive, and B-17 Odin Central Blow. 

Although after that, life happened --- I had to focus on my majors in university and study for a licensure exam.

Fast forward to the present, I've been a licensed professional for more than 3 years and had the itch to come back!

What ultimately drove me to get back to Burst was when I was going around a toy store and saw a great deal. I bought the following for only $30 NIB around a month ago:

I won the prize bey from the random booster, and I've researched that Master Diabolos and Union Achilles are quite good beys. So I've tried to get myself up to speed by reading a lot of posts here and watching YouTube videos.

And now, here are my Burst purchases for the past month:

I guess I got really consumed, LOL. Only GTs are available in my country and they're all in sale prices already, hence I thought they are great buys. The local toy stores must be clearing their inventory for Superking beys.

In terms of anime, I'm currently watching ep 14 of Beyblade Burst God, and I'm planning to buy only the single beys I really like (damn, Drain Fafnir NIB is pricy now). Although, I got a Cho-Z Valkyrie, Nightmare Longinus, and Bloody Longinus in advance because I really like the look of Cho-Z Valkyrie, my fave is Longinus line, and I found great deals for them online.

Anyway, I think this is a long post already! Thanks for reading! I just really wanted to share what I feel about coming back.

I hope you can welcome an old-timer back! And I'll be reading, reading, and reading all about Burst releases and the how the meta scene changed from 2015 until now. I'm interested to know which were/are considered as top-tier!

Peace,
xVaretyr
Welcome back bud!
Welcome back, bud! Hope you enjoy!
Welcome back! I hope you'll enjoy your stay! Funky to have you again here :]
Thank you for the warm welcome guys! Nice to see the community is going strong with new and seasoned members!
Well, you've got some interesting parts there. I dunno how they'd stack up against the complete Sparking line, what with Rage and World and Drift and the like. You've got Zwei and Master, but I don't see Judgement there. Most of it is outclassed, you know how Beyblade does. You do have an Xtend+, so that's a start. Can't recall off the top of my head if any of those layers come with top of the line Dash drivers. But hey, one step at a time.

Thanks for this! I've read that Zwei and Master are indeed good parts. Judgment is also good? I might go for it for my next purchase then. Thanks for also sharing regarding Xtend+, haven't read up to that part yet, but it's great to have a competitive part. Yes, one step at a time Grin
Welcome Back! I wasn't here when you came here, but it doesn't really matter. Have a fun time here. Might want to read and verify the rules again.
