Recent Beyblade Purchases

Just managed to pick up the very first (to my knowledge, anyway) Takara Beystadium ever made back in 1999 for only about $47 still sealed. I always fantasized about having "the stadiums they use in the show" as a kid, which ended up in me wanting after this model especially (blue being my favorite color). So glad I finally got the opportunity to pick one up after all this time. Hoping to eventually get most of the Takara stadiums from this era.

Here's how it looks: https://imgur.com/vcSUAPU

I also recently picked up a used Grip Attacker, Bakushin-Oh, and Takara tornado stadium from the G-Revolution Challenge Set, so I'm really looking forward to receiving those soon too!
Got Xcalibur Force Xtreme today from ThePortal! I picked it up for Classic, Xtreme, and the launcher, and I can confidently say it was worth it. The Xtreme matches my Cho-Z Valkyrie, the Xcalibur layer is nice (albeit wobblier than I anticipated, haha), and the string launcher means that I can finally escape the artery whips my Long Beylauncher L gives my wrist and hand. All in all a worthwhile purchase, even if you're just pursuing it for collection.

Just recently picked up another early 1999 Beyblade stadium from Takara! This time it was the U Type, for just $27 sealed! I also picked up Megaro-Arm and Spark Knight sealed, and a Sparkling Attacker used. Currently trying to get a Polta to go along with those. These early pre-Spin-Gear Beyblades aren't too expensive (barring a couple), so I'm pretty excited to try and get a full collection!

Seven. I'll probably keep two for myself, but the rest are for the Toronto community!
So I haven't posted here in a while, not because I didn't buy anything Beyblade related, far from it. It's just that most of the stuff I got wasn't really worth talking about and I mostly got B-Daman stuff at this time. But the Beyblade stuff I did get and never really gave a mention was:

Translucent Green 145WD Track and Bottom
Black Fang Leone 130W²D
Clear FGrin Bottom
1x Beyblade Zero G RBV1
2x Beyblade Zero G RBV2
2x Beyblade Zero G RBV3
Gladiator Bahamdia SP230GF
Scythe Kronos T125EDS
Geist Fafnir .8'.Ab
Buster Xcalibur .1'.Sw
B-124 Long Bey Left Launcher Set

Yeah most of it was MFB related as I was in an MFB mood at the time, but only Kronos was even slightly worth talking about honestly, which I love by the way, that bey is really strong stamina wise, and I love the design. The RBVs were nothing much, didn't get any prize beys or anything I really cared about. The FGrin and 145WD left me with little to talk about really. Black Fang Leone looks cool but I wasn't too passionate over it. There was also Gladiator Bahamdia SP230GF which is a nice looking beyblade, and was really fun to use, but surprisingly, I had nothing really to say, it is what it is.

For Burst, I had Geist Fafnir .8'.Ab and Buster Xcalibur .1'.Sw, which honestly, I actually have no idea why I didn't talk about these beys because I really love them and they're pretty gorgeous beys. They're both really fun. Perhaps I'll review these someday. The B-124 set, I only got this set to complete my Fafnir with the Proof frame, which is my favourite frame alongside Bump. The launchers are cool but I hardly used most of the stuff. One interesting thing to note is that the metal ball inside that Weight Damper is almost exactly the same as the Metal Shot from Battle B-Daman, only being ever so slightly larger, but it's practically the same.



Anyways... enough of that, time to show what I thought was worth posting about...

This set is gorgeous! I have been wanting this set forever, but I could never find a good price for them, until I saw one in Zenmarket for £31, which was a great deal for them. The beautiful recolours, those exotic coloured parts and that lovely clear launcher setup. The beyblade recolours are definitely my favourite recolours ever, even moreso than Ice Blue Xeno Xcalibur, moreso than black Alter Chronos, more than black Revive Phoenix, more than Green Victory Valkyrie. All of them look equally great, I really couldn't decide which was my favourite one, but I suppose I'll lean towards that Kreis Satan, but it's super close. I didn't put stickers on as I didn't think they needed them, and it leaves my options open. I won't be using them either, well, I'll use blue Flugel, but I've ordered another one so perhaps I'll wait till that arrives. I won't even use the launcher because it looks too good to use. This set will simply just be a display piece for me.
I purchased Right αrtemis 4 Proof Orbit and Left αpollos 12 Meteor Sword (both from RBV 14) on ever-wish.com . Supposedly, the package was already delivered, but it's in Virginia, while I live in New Jersey... Either they gave me the wrong tracking code or my Beys are a few states away ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oof. Any updates? Did your Beys ever arrive?

Yes, they are exactly the ones I ordered. Turns out, I was given the tracking code of another customer. In the end, it took a bit over a week to get here, so I'm only going to buy random boosters from that site from now on.
Got a 4D Wing Pegasis 90WF for 5 Euros including shipping costs, pretty good deal imo. It's my 3th genuine 4D Wing Pegasis now.
Normally I don't post about my purchases for Hasbro beys because:

1. I may already have the TT variant and don't feel like talking about it.
2. I generally don't care about Hasbro beyblades as much as TT.
3. And most importantly, they're discontinued in the UK after Switchstrike wave 1 and they're rather spotty with what we get, we missed out on later dual layer waves but got wave 1 Switchstrikes. I don't order most of the missing stuff we UK bladers never got because I get the TT versions instead, when possible.

However, what I got shuts down all of those reasons.

Yeah, so I've decided to order Orichalcum O3, reason being is that the TT version is a ridiculous £300-400 which isn't worth it for a beyblade in my opinion. However, this beyblade looks amazing, even though I don't have the original to compare it to, I can tell that Hasbro really nailed the aesthetics and feel of the original. Besides the lack of painted disk (which isn't an issue for me) and having slopes, this is nearly a perfect replica. The driver kept its metal which I am very happy to hear, and this honestly feels like the TT version. The layers paint application is incredible and even looking close up, it's great. The performance is fine, it seemed more balanced than the original and I'm fine with it.

By far the best thing is the value, not only was this well done to replicating the original version, but it's also way cheaper and has a launcher that comes with it. This is definitely worth the purchase and it's definitely my favourite Hasbro Burst beyblade so far.

Oh look another Beyblade purchase! This time I got the RBV14 Prize Bey Driger Fang .0.Xt. This beyblade looks stunning, I really dig the silver plastic used in it, it has a nice pearlish look to it and looks cleaner than the Wolborg layer. The 0 disk is cool, but I already have a lot of, and for some reason mine looks seriously scratched up, but it's probably just my particular mold. Xtend, while useless looks great in that silver and just works with Driger Fang in my opinion.

Now obviously this is useless competitive wise, but out of all the BSB beyblades stock, this is actually pretty strong. The layer has amazing teeth, and the beyblade can destabilize another on taller mode. One thing to note that is this layer did gash a few of my layers slightly, which was honestly surprising but I guess it's not too big of an issue.

I love this beyblade, definitely my favourite of all the Bakuten Shoot Rising remakes so far. I also much prefer this over the original counterpart.

Keep checking eBay i'd say, these lots really affected my collecfion, also a cheap way to grow your collection. Got over 250 beyblades from buying lots
Finally choz Achilles was shipped home
Gotta say,it's a lot better than choz valkyrie
[Image: 2ilzcs1.jpg]

My Cho Z Achilles .00.Dm arrived today and this beyblade looks gorgeous. I initially said Cho Z Spriggan was my favourite of the three cz stopper beys, but I think Achilles might surpass that. I really love that the Burst stoppers have something special for all of them: Valkyrie had extra wings for attack, Spriggan had stoppers to accommodate both spin directions and this one pops out the shields when the stoppers are activated, and it works as intended. The stoppers are as easy to bring out as Spriggans, and don't feel like they get in the way. The layer is also really vicious at attack, it one shot bursted my aH and seems to burst it more reliably.

00 is the heaviest core disk ever so this is automatically a plus for me, and it certainly feels really heavy and will be great for combos.

Dimension was a fun driver to use, the versatility is appreciated, a lot of heights with two tip modes to use. I avoid the Balance mode as the rubber sharp tip isn't very good. The attack mode was really fun and makes the stock combo decent for attack, I love it! My favourite adjustment is using attack mode and making it the second tallest height, which was a nice balance, but the lower modes are fun as well.

The LR Beylauncher looks beautiful and is pretty useful, although mine felt a bit weird pulling it. This is my first LR Beylauncher so I was probably not used to it but I could definitely feel the mechanism and gears when pulling it. However I kind of want to avoid using this to avoid accidentally breaking it, which is a shame as it looks really good, but I might end up using it, who knows. For now my LR Winder launcher from Sr works just fine for me.

Please, pick this up, it's a solid package will all useful or fun parts.



I also got Cho Z Valkyrie which I'll fully review if I feel like it, but I'll say this, the wings are actually not that hard to unlock all three off for me. Either I got a good mold or I was able to launch it hard enough. I used the Spriggan Requiem LR winder launcher, a strong launcher.

It was about £600 with taxes n stuff, but it’s so pretty :o

....... you've certainly got money to spend on pretty stuff......
Last Fri I ordered: 4 Ace/Rock/grand dragons (so I can have 1 full of each different layer with regular stickers an 1 with special king spriggan stickers), Slash Valkyrie and the other bey that I can't pronounce. I also got the King Spriggan. Ill get the stadium set eventually (even though I don't need the stadium)
