1-3 beys a month is a lot more than most people get... As for essays and such, I only ever got rewards for getting good end of semester grades - and even then I was aware that I was lucky to get even that - you really should be more thankful for what you have...
Yeah, my parents I've me a good job if I get good grades. But it's EXPECTED of me to get them, I haven't gotten a reward except for Hit wings after I got principal's list in 3rd grade. I work for money, then buy my beys lol.
Just be happy for what you have man
I was usually able to get two a week during the plastic generation, depending on prices. Unfortunately, the V2 series was super rare and a lot of Beyblades like Driger S, Galeon, Wolborg, etc, were super old and hard to find until they released the Phantom Force Series. Wow, I miss being a kid a lot.
I miss plastics so much, beys were $5 instead of $10, but yeah as a kid I got a couple a month and considered myself fairly lucky when I laid them all out the other day and realized just how big my collection is. However, these days I buy everything on my own and spend about $35 a month on beys. To all the kids out there looking to make money, dog-walking is easy and you can start at a very young age.
I am very lucky as well with the size of the collection I was able to get, just wish I had stocked up on Beyblade's with top tier parts as opposed to just buying one of every Beyblade to try to complete a collection haha, though I am still proud of my collection nonetheless.
Eh idk where to put this, so I'm putting it here, let me know if it should be in another topic.
Do you guys think I overpaid for the Zero-G attack type stadium?
I paid $48.92 for the Stadium, plus Express shipping (it comes in 1 day).

I believe it would still go in purchase consultation? any way, I believe the price you got along with one day shipping is decent, since it probably came from china or japan. Did you only get the stadium?

Oops, sorry about that.
It came from Japan, and the seller (Comtachi Japan) sent a few extra Beys with it as well (even though I only bought the stadium)

I'd say that is a good deal! In the USA it is usually like $40 for one-day shipping from Asia, I'm not sure how it varies in Canada though.
The best side of this break in new, ever-more-competitive Beyblade releases : More money every month to purchase superficial Beyblades you always wanted, like HMS in my case, hah.
Exactly. It is also a great time to pick up parts you have missed in MFB, haha.

I got my first one for like $23 including shipping from Japan. Amazon generally has better deals than Ebay when it comes to stadiums.
Out of curiosity, what beys did the seller throw in with it? New? Used?
Speaking of Zero-G stadiums, I've been finding some pics of a Blue Zero-G attack type stadium, and saw some on ebay, I believe. Has anyone else seen these? (I think they may be fake... not sure)
Edit: Found the ebay listing, it says its from Korea but not TT or SK. That's a fake, but its pretty neat, a one-piece Zero-G Attack Stadium
They are indeed fake. Though the pictures make them seem awesome haha.
I had no Idea they even got around to making fake Zero-G Stadiums... You learn something new every day.
Those pictures do make it look awesome
so I just read the Big Mac 320yen article and whoever wrote it it's hilarious. I never new Big Mac 320yen was a sandwich and not a beyblade lol

This is exactly what he gave with it:
Phantom Orion B;D
Dark Cancer
A Bamboo fan
Everything was new!
Supreme One, LUCKY! I wish amazon.ca had better prices ...
wow LMAO all of that for $42.00 seems like a good deal to me
also what are you going to do with that bamboo fan?
He will fan himself with it.
a very good Idea ginga lol. Has anybody entered Zankye's giveaways he almost makes up for his rigged battles with the giveaways
ALMOST also 'm ashamed of my self for suggesting bbg that they try out the combo Flame Cygnus 100wd and on top of that I said it beats everything
plus it was only 2 months ago. also I remember when Zankye did those beybattles in the Zankye stadium I thought that was an actual Zero-G stadium
I even showed it to my brothers and they were amazed at how awsome the Zero-G stadium was *cough* stupid *cough*

I think it was a pretty rare occurrence, which is why I was quick to act when the price dropped, but you can usually get them for under $30 if you look hard enough.

That could be part of their business strategy on the chance that beyblade is on a very short hiatus. Make people buy all of their old stock they had left sitting around so they don't have to try to move it while their is new stuff on the market.
edit: I meant MFB (like what ginga said), obviously HMS and Plastics are no longer sold by takara...

That's pretty good, I like the bamboo fan addition.
really funny beyblade shopping story (this was before I joined the wbo and my 4th beyblade purchase) (warning long post)
my mom said that if I helped her do some things she would get me 1 beyblade,I did it and then we went to target when we got to the beyblade section I saw the Burning mirage 2 pack and decided I must have it I kept telling my mom I wanted it and the tag above it said it was $12.99 but when I scanned it on the price checker it said was $16.99 but I really wanted it but my mother kept saying the deal was I would get one beyblade not 2 but I said I'll do lot's of things and begged her to get it so she broke down and finally did and said I would have to do lots of things and I said ok and when we go the bags I wasn't really paying attention and in the car the bags were in the front with my mother and I thought the 2 pack was in there but when we got home (btw it was nighttime) I didn't see it in any of the bags and I threw a fit and kept whining and saying it's got to be here and we checked the car and it wasn't there so my mom called the target we went to and they said to come there with the recipt and they'd see if ti was still there so I went with my alone ro target and it we showed the man at the return center the receipt and he went and got it in the bag and said we had left it there I was so relieved when I got it back cause my mom said if it wasn't there she wasn't getting another and she would just get her money back if she could and when we got homed I played beyblade with my brothers and my sister and we played with the toys they got THE END
now that i'm older like my mother said I laughed about it
but when it happened to me it wasn't funny
