It's about time for me to hunt these down and I've noticed discrepancies in the Bit-Chip stickers. Every TT sticker sheet and image I find shows that they should have lettering on their respective stickers like most other Bit-Chips, but some don't have any when I look at buying assembled/used ones. I've yet to see a sticker sheet offering an option without the lettering for these.
Is it possibly a Hasbro thing? Custom stickers? I'd like to know if it's normal to find both GTs without lettering on the Bit-Chips.
Every TT release has the japanese name on the bottom part of the colored ring. Hasbro simply doesn't have the letters at all
There are odd cases like Driger S in which they've replaced these letters with random numbers, but that's very rare

Ahh, that's what I thought! I wasn't sure if it was a Hasbro or Sonokong thing. Thank you for the confirmation. Now I'm wondering how so many sellers of TT GTs have the Hasbro Bit-Chip stickers, oof.
Oh boy, not looking forward to the wallet destruction either of these'll bring, haha.
I would probably give my left leg and both Kidneys for a Dranzer GT under £250. I have been searching for over a decade ?

Whoa, plugged that into a currency converter and it comes to 430CAD. That's more current mint (I'm hesitant to say that)/NIB Dragoon GT pricing. A Takara Tomy NIB Dranzer GT should cost you £170, at most—less if it's in any other condition. There's a few members selling Dranzer GTs, TT and Hasbro, right now.

Yep! There has been one on Ebay UK for about 2 years at £300

That's just ridiculous. I mean, fair enough if they're trying to recoup costs, but Dranzer GT is not worth that much yet (it's gone up 50CAD from four months ago...). For that price you could buy NIP/NIB beys like Apollon, Poseidon, and Shining God MS or Thunder Pegasus if you get
really lucky.
eBay in general is so awful for older gen pricing. Definitely go through the recent sale posts on WBO to see if any of the Dranzer GTs are in the condition you'd be looking for! If you're looking for NIB, I'd suggest checking Yahoo Japan Auctions daily to see if anything fair comes up.
Fantastic thanks for the advice!
