RE: theflightyellz's guide to fakes and searching. - Luck - Nov. 30, 2012
Looks real to me... it's true that it's un-used though, that I can tell. I have one, and it's clearly visible once used (Scratch marks I mean). But as for the colour of the tip & track, I'll check that.
EDIT: It's true that the paint does look faded compared to the beywiki/wikia pictures, and as for the tip and track, they're turquoise in those as-well... personally I wouldn't trust it... but up to you.
(I could be wrong of-course, but this is according to beywiki/wikia , and that never lies
.)

Very useful guide.

I just snagged this off ebay a while back: http://www.ebay.com/itm/280864289703?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
It hasn't gotten here yet, but I'm starting to feel like it may be a fake.

In addition, the item description has a Track and Bottom in it... As well as it is called a booster, but IIRC, Hasbro's Diablo is a starter? Like almost all their beys are.
RE: theflightyellz's guide to fakes and searching. - Naijalak - Dec. 12, 2012
Bah, figures. I need to pay more attention. At least the other 2 Beys I ordered for my kids are legit. Daddy has to suck it up with the fake for a while.
RE: theflightyellz's guide to fakes and searching. - Kai-V - Dec. 12, 2012
The general rule works for every case : if it is not written "TAKARA-TOMY" even in the item description, then it is fake.
RE: theflightyellz's guide to fakes and searching. - Naijalak - Dec. 14, 2012
The fake came in, and it's obviously fake. It performs really well, but who knows how long it'll last before it breaks.

I just spotted a fake RC Dragoon V2.

Albeit the incorrect colours ..
RE: theflightyellz's guide to fakes and searching. - Shogun - Dec. 25, 2012
I just saw this video on Youtube. Has anyone heard of the Takara tomy and New Boy brand?
The youtuber of this video is from Saudi Arabia.
Here's another video but the account that this video belongs to is now deleted...
RE: theflightyellz's guide to fakes and searching. - Uwik - Dec. 25, 2012
Yes, we've known about New Boy for a while. They are the official distributor for the Middle Eastern region.
RE: theflightyellz's guide to fakes and searching. - ashton pinto - Dec. 25, 2012
AFAIK, my friend gameboysuperman who used to live in the UAE, had purchased beys from new boy, they distribute takara beys ( like here in india, funskool company is the official distributer, they distribute hasbro beys )

And, as I always say, they are also the company who uses our English Metal Fight Beyblade logo ...

Is this legit? http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-TAKARA-Beyblade-MS-Metal-System-Fusion-Fight-A-124-DRIGER-Launcher-Ripcord-/300826471330?pt=UK_Toys_Creative_Educational_RL&hash=item460aa7aba2 I'm not familiar with HMS. I'm asking mainly because of the price.

It is indeed a genuine Takara Beyblade. The prices for Driger MS has always been pretty low along with Draciel MS and Gaia Dragoon MS.

That's strange. No wonder I just got this for so cheap

Edit
orry I forgot that they didn't merge yet. Also sorry to Tri
RE: theflightyellz's guide to fakes and searching. - Kai-V - Dec. 28, 2012
If you do not even know what Takara's logo looked like before it merged with TOMY, you should really have just not posted and tried answering that matter ...
Tri, do not worry, it is all real.
RE: theflightyellz's guide to fakes and searching. - Cannon - Dec. 28, 2012
Hey, how come they're so cheap now!? I got the three for like $21 bucks from that exact seller (ages ago).
Also, you get fake ripcords with them; fluorescent green TT Hongli ones (that, or from a different seller). There's like an 80% chance the one in the box is broken.
Off-Topic, but I just realized that Kai-V changed her Avatar! I remember she still had her old one when I joined, haha.
RE: theflightyellz's guide to fakes and searching. - Tri - Dec. 28, 2012
Really? I was also afraid of that when I viewed his store. He has tons of Rapidity.
And Cannon I saw another for $20 so I think it was a different seller you bought from.

This ebay store is auctioning beyblades really cheaply. like 90p+1.20GBP shipping for phantom orion. the pictures are of genuine takara tomy stuff. Has anyone bought from this site and if so are the beys genuine takara tomy? It seems too good to be true.
Fake, or not fake?
My guess would be fake, but I so want it to be real! XD
So can an expert please say.
(I think they're fakes...
)
RE: theflightyellz's guide to fakes and searching. - Coach - Jan. 03, 2013
It's real all the marks to look for are there they can get in serious trouble advertising Takara Tomy and it not being, no matter what country they reside in.
RE: theflightyellz's guide to fakes and searching. - Luck - Jan. 03, 2013
Are you sure? Because look at the images...
They're all copy and pasted together, they look so messed up. :s
(I'm not saying that you're wrong, I just don't quite see what you mean, I mean, What I think you mean is I think not enough, you get what I mean? XD)
RE: theflightyellz's guide to fakes and searching. - Naijalak - Jan. 03, 2013
Some of those look real, yet some (like the launchers) say in the description that they're not licensed Takara Tomy.
