If you got a fake beyblade can you use it in a touney?
They're not the same. Build quality is drastically lower than anything you'd get made by Hasbro, SonoKong, or Takara Tomy. Also, I'd question the paint used for the tops on the bootlegs as I feel they could have something that rhymes with bed.
As for tournament play, bootlegs aren't allowed.

Hasbro is a licensed manufacturer, so it's fine.

Where do you guys buy your beyblades?
Also does anyone know how to fix a Left spin String launcher?
RE: theflightyellz's ACTUAL guide to fakes and searching. - Heavyblader666 - Jul. 15, 2010

Well if you're Canadian Zellers, WalMart, TRU, Toys Toys Toys(it's pretty expensive here) if you are American WalMart, TRU and if you're European than you'll have to wait till August.

The quality of the metal as well as plastic are often times incredibly cheap (ie. poor build quality). But that shouldn't be what makes you not want to buy bootlegs. The people making these are simply thieves making a buck off of other people's work. Often times the bootleg makers simply use stolen molds of parts they've gotten from Hasbro, or Takara Tomy plants as re-engineering something is super expensive and outside of the reach of most bootleggers.
For Transformers the bootleggers were so bad that there's molds that neither Hasbro, nor Takara Tomy have anymore because their remaining ones were stolen (mind you, this was in the 90's) to make bootlegs to this very day. That's not something I'd support.

Dude, that's a pretty brutal post. You're in the biggest city in the country, and have an internet connection. Toysrus.ca has a store locator I believe.

Real. Sono Kong Beyblade products do have the Takara Tomy logo as well.
Ellz, do you mind updating the guide to include Hasbro as a company selling official Beyblades. This might not be so clear or obvious to some.

RE: theflightyellz's guide to fakes and searching. - DranzerX13 - Jul. 20, 2010
WOW! Even Yahoo! Japan Auctions have plenty of those bootleg GG Beys:

This one:
http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h143756488
has 3 real ones, and the rest are fake.
TT Hongli made the bootlegs for the Bakuten Shoot ones.
I wish these bootlegs would just stop, as they not only are poorly made, but just wrong.

I wasn't making fun of you I just made a reference to a video, if I was going to make fun of you it would be a lot more cruel, I thought I could get a laugh from you since you were a little down. Also what store did you go to that had Takara Tomys and what part of the world do you live in?

Just to clarify none of the Beyblade are real in both the auctions. You can't really stop anyone from making fakes, that's like telling everyone we should have world peace, it's nearly impossible.
Are these stadiums considered Takara Tomy or are they fake?
