Focus on MFB: Your guide to wealth and sanity! - Bey Brad - Oct. 24, 2008
As someone who sells quite a few HMS and plastics, this is a little counter-productive for me (though I think my prices are more than fair so I'm not too worried
), but I think it's important to talk about it.I notice a lot of members here are still scrambling looking for HMS and plastics. My honest opinion is that this isn't a great idea for anyone other than veterans looking to top off their collections.
For Bladers with small collections or small budgets, the focus really should be on MFB right now. They are the current standard and I imagine over the next year or so, discussion will shift almost completely to MFB. As we begin to focus more and more on competitive events, the main format will almost definitely be MFB.
It simply doesn't make sense to be putting all of our focus into a product that ceased manufacture in 2004 when there is a line being manufactured right now that needs our support. People are taking MFB for granted. We never thought we'd see Beyblade come back in such a short period of time, and in that way we have been ridiculously lucky; this sort of thing does not happen all the time.
The perseverance of Beyblade internationally during this "Bey Drought" is a testament to the universal and undying appeal of Beyblade all over the world. Now, Takara-Tomy has graced us with a new series, and we have to do what we can to support it to make sure it doesn't die again any time soon.
Focusing on MFB will be cheaper; older models are only getting more expensive due to their increased rarity, with some gems such as Shining God MS and some secret HMS commanding unbelievable prices.
Focusing on MFB will be more productive; as plastic and HMS become increasingly less relevant, the spotlight will shift to MFB. Prepare yourself now for the inevitable future and focus on MFB, and stop shelling out $50 for Shining God MS, you lunatics.

$50 isn't even enough!
but yes, I agree, it would be counter-productive to continue to support HMS and Plastics unless you already have an established collection of them. Your main focus should be on MFB.

well I going to buy MFB Blades but my mom car caught on fire so now my mom can't go and cash the comecheck and put it on the credit card so it kinda hard for me to get them right now but I will find a way to get the new blades
If the place still have them in-stock then I will buy Wolf and Leo and if the place still have them in-stock I might have to buy clothes with my money because I barely have any clothes

ya metal fight beyblades are the future!
RE: Focus on MFB: Your guide to wealth and sanity! - beymasterkai - Oct. 24, 2008
yeah i have like 2 MFB and am waiting for like 3 more. i plan on buying alot of RB 2 XD but yeah we need to prepair for the future of beyblade. and if we buy them, we are showing takara that beyblade is a success, so they will be inclined to make beyblade world wide. it nice to collect some plastic or hms, but we shouldnt go crazy for them, and if we do this, the price might go down.
RE: Focus on MFB: Your guide to wealth and sanity! - Shake.junt95 - Oct. 24, 2008
i agree i toped of my plastic and hms colletions yesterday and i have 6 or 7 metal fight witch aint to bad imo but i haope to get a really difined metal fight collertion so this makes alot of sense.
RE: Focus on MFB: Your guide to wealth and sanity! - Sega - Oct. 25, 2008
Yeah im really just looking to get all of the MFB Blades as time goes by, right now theres a fair few to grab with probably alot more coming out once the Anime hits the air, theres plenty of time right now to grab the whole set.
RE: Focus on MFB: Your guide to wealth and sanity! - V2 - Oct. 25, 2008
that's a rather sane and logical suggestion
However, I still want numerous DGMS and DGMS UV
Just because...I'm a fanboy of those 2 blades

Haha yeah...i'd probably like them less if they were super common >_<
The only thing about MFB is that i'm waiting for them to become more varied, like bearing bases, or some interesting features.
RE: Focus on MFB: Your guide to wealth and sanity! - Synesthesia - Oct. 25, 2008
DGMS and DGMS UV are not close to common.

IF they were super common.
Hence, they are not common. You misunderstood what was implied

Enough semantics. Talk about the subject or don't talk.
RE: Focus on MFB: Your guide to wealth and sanity! - bladehoarder - Oct. 26, 2008
I still don't have any mfb beyblades because all of my money right now is going into my battlebot.
However, I plan on getting most of the mfb blades once the majority of the "horoscope" series has been released. By this point, there will probably be a more varied and ballanced selection of usable competative combos.
Despite my name, I don't plan on collecting beyblades like I did back in the day.
RE: Focus on MFB: Your guide to wealth and sanity! - Bey Brad - Feb. 09, 2009
Bumping because I'm shocked at the amount of people still going after plastics.

You should sticky this.There are too many people still going after plastics/HMS that really should be getting MFB.
