Damn, NOW I find this one. AFTER I buy the G Challenge Set one.

To anyone who's every wanted an HMS Launcher Grip with blue grip rubber: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Beyblade-G-Revol...920wt_1233

It's interesting. I once bought an SK set but it had a weird HMS Launcher grip that had grooves. But this one seems to have a regular grip (Maybe because they wanted to include the rubber?)...
In either case, I think an HMS Grip, Tornado Attack Stadium, and 2 beyblades is a great deal for this price. GREAT deal.

The stadium is rare and you can't find it anywhere else. It's also the best stadium for plastics (although fragile).
The grips are rare to find new and also Black is the coolest and probably rarest colour of them all.
And those beys cost around $10 each anyway.

I just got a Dragoon G arrive in the mail today. Is it STILL worth getting?
I remember hearing that the sonokong g-rev beys aren't as bad as their others. Is sonokong metal driger just as good as the takara version or worse?

As I've already said, Tornado Attack is worth $30 used, and that set comes with a new one and two grips for that price, so of course it's worth it...

As for sonokong's metal driger, judging from pictures of the contents on ebay, as well as unboxing videos, it does come with an HMC, and seeing as that's the only good part, yes, it is just as good as the takara version.

Sparta: That belongs in the HMS Thread. I'm not really sure it's good value though, the sonokong HMS grip is very comfortable even without rubber, and that only comes with a tornado attack and a useless double shooter in terms of things the draciel/gaia dragoon MS + grip set comes with, barring the different launcher, aaand:
To buy the two bey + grip set and the cheapest tornado attack set would cost $55, and give you much more.

Survival/zombie

AR: Tiger Defenser (Driger S) WD: Wide Survivor SG: Left SG (Bearing Version) (Wolborg) SG Shaft: Bearing Base (Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger) BB: Defense Grip Base 2 (Wolborg 2)
Jul. 21, 2012  7:02 AM
 
It's very well known that Wide Defense is the next best thing for zombies.
Jul. 21, 2012  7:06 AM
 
All of the "wides" are hard for me to find.whats the.next to wide defense
Jul. 21, 2012  7:34 AM
 
You can't make a zombie without wide defense or wide survivor...

Apollon (Hasbro)
Bistool
Knight Dranzer
Wing Attacker
Wyborg
Dragoon G
Flash Leopard 2
Seaborg 2
and for weight disks I have the following:
Eight Wide
Six Wide
Ten Wide
Ten Balance
Six Heavy
Magnetic Weight Disk (not sure which one, came with flash leopard 2)
Eight Heavy
By the way I already have 10bbistool as one of my combos so don't reccomend that XD

10bBistool, at least with the second mold AR, sucks horribly (KO'd or beaten into being outspun by basically everything if your opponent knows how to do it), that said it is probably the best thing you can make seeing as you don't have tiger defenser (driger s). If you have the first mold it might do better.

You honestly have nothing else... You have no decent attack bases and only aggressive aggressive AR's, and the best of those AR's only work in left spin anyway. Appolon's AR might work for attack in right spin but as I said, no good bases...

I take it that there are no fitting issues from hearing that the G Rev's aren't as bad as their others.

If there were any major issues, would you expect me not to say so?

Here's a full rundown though of all possible minor sonokong g blade differences I know of:
They often use different spelling on stickers, using G Blade instead of BeyBlade, and Dragoon is called Dragon instead. Any japanese text is replaced with korean.
Sometimes their molding is slightly sharper, as in, the edges are more defined, and their plastic is slightly less glossy. That said, sometimes it isn't. Their WD's seem to be made of a slightly different material (like all of their metal parts) and have small, stylized G logos on them (standing for G Blade, their name for G-rev) but weigh no different from regular ones (if not maybe being slightly heavier on average). Some say they are more delicate but personally I'm yet to see any reliable evidence of this, usually it's just 10 wides breaking, which happens with Hasbro and Takara Tomy ones as well.
Every so often, an engine gear may be a little hard to remove from the base or close the base clips on, but I just got a Takara Wolborg with the same problem, so I suspect it was just a small tolerance issue with the base clips or bases during G Rev.
Their colours may vary ever so slightly from Takara/Hasbro, though this is mainly due to the lower glossiness and only really noticeable in one or two releases, Rock Bull probably being the most noticeable, being slightly yellower than the tan of Hasbro's (this could be hasbro changing the colour though, as I lack a takara one to compare to).
Their base clutches are not removable, like Hasbros, the clips to remove the lower half are melted or glued in place. Not a big deal though.

I have encountered nothing else different, and not all of these issues affect all of them, for example I have a Sonokong Dranzer G that is completely like one from any other brand except for the slight color difference of the metal they use (which has a whitish hue by comparison).

All of this has been stated in multiple previous posts though...

Would a SonoKong Flash Leopard 2 be a good purchase?
Jul. 22, 2012  6:48 AM
 
Nothing sonokong pre-g revolution is a good purchase.

I will state at this point though that my past statements about Flash Leopard 2 were incorrect, it's attack ring is excellent for left spin smash. But a sonokong one isn't compatible with regular beys so yeah.
Jul. 22, 2012  4:39 PM
 
Which is more important for me to get, considering I already have a BK: Wolborg II or a Wide Defense? They're both around the same price (WBII is a little more; I think like $16. The WD WD (?) is $10).
Jul. 22, 2012  4:40 PM
 
Wide Defense is the single most useful part in plastics, so it's the obvious best choice, all good wolborg 2 combos need wide defense anyway (well, you can get away without it on the attack setups but yeah).

Also if the Wide Defense is under $16 that's an awesome price.
Jul. 22, 2012  4:42 PM
 
Yeah, I'm buying it from Seritonin for around $10. He also has a WBII for $16, so that's why I asked. I'll just get the Wide Defense, then. Thanks.
Jul. 22, 2012  4:43 PM
 
Honestly at that price I'd get both of them if you can afford it, both are great deals.
Jul. 22, 2012  4:45 PM
 
I'm a little low on dough right now because the family I used to babysit for stopped hiring me, so my dad said he'll start taking my money to compensate for my purchases until I sell enough beyblades to get back into the positives on Paypal, haha. I'll see if I can, but I'm on a really tight budget so...

Thank you for the information. Smile

What would be a few good AR's to pair with Fin Tectors in a smash attack combo? Also, they have to be right-spin AR's (So probably not 8 Spiker). Thanks guys.
Jul. 22, 2012  9:03 PM
 
Anything that prevents Fin tectors making contact is a good start because they're recoily, fragile, and unnecessary, and that's on bases with good recoil handling.

You'd want something two or four sided, cross griffon is a good start though I don't like it as much on taller bases.

Fin tectors have a lot of synergy with Seaborg's AR (hence the recoil), but I doubt that's what you're after (see the Seaborg article I put on beywiki yesterday).

Really though any good attack AR with an even number of sides would be best for it, but you'd be better off with less recoily SP.
Jul. 22, 2012  9:08 PM
 
Alright. What would be a better smash attack SP to use then? Maybe DGV2's SP (I think they're called reverse attack)?

EDIT: Also, you said something two or four sided. Would Dranzer G's AR be acceptable to use?

Can the v-force mobile stadium fit in a normal school backpack such as jansport ? And is the stadium any good ?
Also is Trygle 2 (Hasbro) worth 15 dollars? I just bought one nib so I hope I didn't get ripped off haha
Jul. 23, 2012  10:11 AM
 
Not sure about the first one but no i'm sure it's as bad as most hasbro stadiums. Also Trylge 2 is awful competitively but it is very hard to find NIB so $15 is worth it.
Jul. 23, 2012  10:29 AM
 
The Hasbro version of trygle 2 is trygle 2 g and comes with a recolour of dragoon GT's BB, as well as the turbo left EG and Metal Grip CEW, so yeah it's very much worth $15 and I must say I'm jealous, as I am trying to find a trygle 2 g for the EG to complete my Dragoon GT, as my EG broke and was thrown out years ago.

I don't know if it fits in a standard school backpack and most brands of backpack have different sizes so I don't know.

From what I've heard it's slightly better than most hasbro stadiums, but that doesn't say much.
