RE: Plastics Q&A Thread - ALL Plastics Questions Go Here! (No HMS). - Kai-V - Jul. 10, 2013

So what is the difference between a Hasbro Zeus and a Takara one ? It seems like we do not even have a draft in the Beywiki Project forum for it ...


RE: Plastics Q&A Thread - ALL Plastics Questions Go Here! (No HMS). - Kai Hiwatari - Jul. 10, 2013

The only difference was the major difference of Engine Gears.
TT Zeus had the Right Customize Gear(Free Shaft Version), that was free spinning and had the CEW Light Sharp.
Unfortunately, Hasbro disregarded this feature and instead, included Right Engine Gear(Metal Ball).

I purchased a Hasbro Zeus and was very disappointed that they had swapped the Engine Gears.

Smash Attack:

AR: Double Attacker
WD: 10 Wide
SG: Neo Core Right SG
BB: Metal Flat Base
Quote:Just one thing: I'd change that AR to Triple Tiger. Double Attacker has too much recoil for pretty much anything bar Uriel 2's tip.

Personal:

AR: Triple Tiger
WD: 10 Balance
SG: Right Bearing Version 2
BB: Defense Grip Base 2
(This is one I had a lot of success with, I figured I would mention it)

I must remember to try this out some time, I've never had much luck with anything using SG BV2 other than defensive zombies and the odd fixed-shaft attacker.

Let me know how it does for you.

As I remember, it performed well for me, however, do take into consideration that I only had access to Hasbro Stadiums. So for me, the performance is unknown in TT Stadiums.

Follow up to my previous enquiry about SonoKong blades, I've seen a Metal Driger on eBay and I'm told the HM core is really good from it, is Metal Driger from the later blades that are compatible with Takara/ Hasbro blades in terms of size?


RE: Plastics Q&A Thread - ALL Plastics Questions Go Here! (No HMS). - th!nk - Jul. 13, 2013

Yes, Metal Driger is a G-series beyblade and thus fully compatible with Takara/Hasbro parts. Heck, some of them are straight up repackaged takara ones. For metal driger, hasbro's one is the one you want to avoid (engine gear instead of an HMC, gah).


RE: Plastics Q&A Thread - ALL Plastics Questions Go Here! (No HMS). - MrMisfit - Jul. 13, 2013

Great, thanks for your help! Really? Hasbro sure seem to flake out on providing good blades aha


RE: Plastics Q&A Thread - ALL Plastics Questions Go Here! (No HMS). - Fonypan - Jul. 14, 2013

Does anyone here think that it would be possible to get the original plastic generation molds and have something like 'official reproduction' parts?


RE: Plastics Q&A Thread - ALL Plastics Questions Go Here! (No HMS). - LMAO - Jul. 14, 2013

I'm a fool when it comes to plastics, so I need help here. Is this the Seaborg which the base has been legalized, and is allowed for official play? Thanks!

No, that's Seaborg 2. It comes with a SG Flat Base.


I have the first one for sale if interested though.

Yes, correct.


RE: Plastics Q&A Thread - ALL Plastics Questions Go Here! (No HMS). - syaoranli2 - Jul. 14, 2013

Hey, I know dragoon GT is really rare and costs quite a lot of money. I've been wondering how much it is worth by now. I saw an auction on ebay where they bid over $400. Is there any other way to get a dragoon gt in mint condition any cheaper?
I am also looking for a Dragoon MSUV, how much would a new one or one in mint condition cost?

It would be possible using various ways of molding and casting, but definitely not legal I would think.

The Power Rangers/Super Sentai fandom uses several ways to create repro parts, for most things people just use resin casts to keep costs low and to make it easier. Thing is, it's not the same material as the plastic used in plastics, it's resin. I'd give it a shot if I had any plastics left, but sadly I do not so it would be a waste for me to go out and buy molding equipment, haha.

EDIT: For example, one of our members recently repro'd a couple of often-missing parts from one of the more popular mecha, the DragonZord from 1993/Dragon Caesar from 1992.

What is a durable and good bey to start my plastics collection?


RE: Plastics Q&A Thread - ALL Plastics Questions Go Here! (No HMS). - Dual - Jul. 15, 2013

Driger V2 would be best, its a great all around bey. Look around beywiki, as well as ebay and other places to check prices.


RE: Plastics Q&A Thread - ALL Plastics Questions Go Here! (No HMS). - ShinobuXD - Jul. 15, 2013

Well a fair bit of Beywiki is incorrect about plastics, it's still a decent resource I guess but some of the many incorrect things are-
Hasbro Twin Horn isn't good
10B Bistool is good
Mold 2 Wing Cross is better than Mold 1
Roller Defense Ring is bad
Turtle Survivor is good for zombies
Upper Attack works well
Etc, etc.

Anyways, great places to find info are-
Plastic Parts Discussion
Plastics General Discussion
This thread
Plastics CC list
Th!nk's blog
Beywiki to an extent
Price Reference List

Plastic Lots (Click to View)
Are any of these lots worth the money, and do they have anything valuable in them? I can't identify a single Plastics bey Pinching_eyes_2

This lot worth it for $387?

Or this for $312.49?

On the first one, I am not sure about that much, but I would say it is worth quite a bit as it has a lot or really good parts, as well as top tiers. One thing that jumped out at me in that lot in particular is the Gryfollyon looks to be TT.

As for the second, I do not believe it is worth it either, as there are not that many useful Plastic parts with it, and about 15 of the Beyblades that are included are MFB.

I very much would, except I don't feel I'm quite knowledgeable enough about plastics to write drafts. I'm working on it, though.

What is the best plastic beyblade you can buy right out of the box with no customizations?


RE: Plastics Q&A Thread - ALL Plastics Questions Go Here! (No HMS). - Snoop Dog MS - Jul. 15, 2013

I would say Driger V2 but I cant say since I'm not the best about Plastics...
