I was wondering with certain beys prices way up there like Mercury Anibus close to $40, do you use clones like from Rapidity or there are some others? Or is this a big no no? I've bought a few, some before I knew any better but I also bought a Vulcan Horuseus knowing it was a clone among a few others. I'll play with the clones then buy the real thing to keep in my collection, is this an ok practice? What's your opinion
It is by no means an "O.K practice". We have an entire thread dedicated to telling the difference between fakes (not "clones") and real SonoKong, Takara-Tomy and Hasbro Beyblades for a reason: it is better quality and fakes are not allowed at WBO sanctioned events.
Do not buy fake Beyblades, it is not worth it!
Of course it is "a big no no". The Rapidity and all other rip-offs are worth absolutely nothing compared to the originals, their materials are cheaper and are more breakable, and by buying them you are encouraging the activities of an illegal company that only copies products from other, bigger industries like TAKARA-TOMY. Support the actual companies, be a good fan.
