I really want this, I offered $160 for it but it was turned down... Unhappy damn you blue dragoon gt!

I believe this is like you & Poseidon? (:
No, I seriously overpriced my Poseidon hoping to get an offer that was 50%. I offered him more than 50% but he didn't accept... Unhappy oh well, you win some you lose some! aha,
He is a member on here. Someone should tell him it's not worth that ridiculous price. And the same for the normal version too (they're nearly the same price despite the blue one being infinitely rarer).
that GT reminded me a tragedy which the same bey was sold in hong kong for $20 only!!!!!
I was collecting hms at that time, and then I totally missed it once I found its value! dang!
Has anyone purchased from the eBay seller 'beybladewbba' before? I found a BIN for Samurai Saramanda (probably my top priority right now), and was wondering if they were legitimate. They have 96.9% positive feedback, but I'm still a little skeptical.

I have! It's legit btw. Don't worry about the seller. :p Good luck!
That is actually JR_Tiger's lot, haha.

It's pricey because he's JR and the recolors/beys are also rather rare.

Not really worth looking at other than for this absolute gem:
Quote:This is a standard-issue GENUINE Hasbro Beyblade (NOT a miniature, NOT a Japanese knockoff of any kind)

Damn Japanese Knockoffs!

Haha, I did laugh when I saw that, does he not know where Beyblade came from?...

Surprised that there's two available, considering how rare they are.

Apparently there were a few on ebay a while back that were pretty cheap, haha.

(Sorry for stealing your link btw)

Really? I found that putting in Beyblade, then the year comes up with a lot more results (E.g: Dranzer S, instead put in the year E.g Dranzer s 2001 etc or just Beyblade 2001/2/3)

And no problem, the link was intended for you anyway Joyful_2
I saw that a few days ago but I didn't show it to you cause it's really expensive. There's one on YJA atm for 1500 yen. Also some of hasbro Spark Knight's aren't opaque and some are. I don't think the packaging changes depending on the version so watch out if you buy a NIB hasbro one Th!nk.
Thanks for the warning, I vaguely recall hearing or seeing something like that at one point.

I think I'll wait for one to pop up on here with some other stuff I'm after, rather than buying one solo for some ludicrous amount, haha.
I've got the base of it which I have to say looks brilliant.
£20 for Makendo? I'm selling my near mint one for like £3.
Yeah but no one would ever want it. The only reason people ever want spin/ultimate dragoon is cause it's a dragoon and the first beyblade. Also the bit chip sticker looks kickass
I bought a bump king from 5stardeals and it didn't arrive. They sent a second, that also didn't arrive, so I hadn't gotten back to them. They were really nice guys and very eager to help out, and they have excellent feedback so I imagine it's just bad luck, and I'm getting in touch with them again, though I'm a little nervous because it doesn't exactly look great on my end to them, I'd imagine.

Of their beyblades, only the semi flat base of knight dranzer/master driger is useful and there are better beys with it, roller defenser has some historical interest for the goofy mod that was going to be banned but then everyone cbf'd on it, and bump king is somewhat valued for being Bump King. I actually considered buying the case of 12 they offered for tournament lols and then reselling them to make back most of the money, but with the fragility I doubt I'd have many left. That said, the Hasbro boxes are all very pretty (it's like the inverse of the packaging today).

Yeah, Spin Dragoon is really a collectors item, but given it's the first beyblade it's probably rather an important one. And of course, that bit chip sticker is amazing. I've got one mint spin dragoon with a mint sticker, and a second copy of the bit chip sticker that's rather damaged (basically, if you put nail polish on to protect it, be careful as metallic stickers ink comes off, though most of the damage was done by a previous owner somehow), but yeah.
But makendo and megaro arm are much less important/notable/valuable, you can still find nip takara ones on a few sites for cheap prices.
Roller Defencer is useful for BB Semi Flat which is useful. Well i'm definately not buying from them if you bought two and they didn't arrive.
Honestly, I don't like BB Semi Flat at all, it's ludicrously easy to KO and OS unless you're just using compacts, but I guess as it comes with that AR it's not too bad a buy.

I only paid for one, they sent the second for free (which they didn't really have to), and I wouldn't be so hasty. I was honestly nervous about mentioning it, because it's pretty easy to see from their feedback history that they're reputable, and they were very pleasant about the whole thing. I will keep you all posted on how it goes from here, because as ridiculous as it seems, I really think it was just extremely poor luck. They have had some negative feedback about stuff not arriving, though, however, they do offer full refunds in those cases so if that happens to you, just go with that, and if you still want the bey, order another one with the money so your paypal/ebay protection is "refreshed", and you can basically keep doing that until you get one, though it should be noted that judging from their feedback history, it only happens in a small number of cases compared to the number of positive feedbacks.

As for that non-transparent spark knight, I'd perhaps be tempted if it had the right bit chip (though even then, I'd still probably withhold because it's not transparent).
Yep cause combos using semi flat can't defeat Wolborg 4 combos or Driger v2. Definitely not. Keep in mind that not everyone has amazing parts like you bro.
