I haven't seen any toy stores yet but I've only ventured out into other parts of the city twice and one of those trips was to meet up with a friend.

I stopped by Akihabara yesterday but I didn't see any Beyblade gatchapon machines in the stores that I went to. I'm not sure where to find those, but I'll keep looking.

My part of the city is a little quiet compared to the rest of Tokyo. During the day I mostly see parents with their kids and there is a park right by my house which always has a lot of kids playing on the playground. I think it's mostly families in this part of the city, so it's kinda nice. That being said, since there's a lot of kids here, there should be at least one toy store nearby, I'll try to find it. This city is odd, you'll find stuff you never knew existed. Yesterday, for example, I found our that there is a Sega arcade literally around the corner from where I live. I didn't see it when I walked by but I found it on Google maps.

No? You would probably be better off asking k1mboslice1305 himself, as we have no way of knowing.

Either they suspect that people are using fakes already, or there are clearly ways to cheat that we are not necessarily aware of hah.

Quote:if the teeth on the driver and Layer are not too much used, if they are they will request you to change it otherwise you give a big advantage to your opponent.
check if the Disk is still in good shape ( not to much used) like on 1/23 or 1/24 during the finale phase they asked 1 of the 8 bladers to change his Heavy Disk coz too much used.

same for the BeyLauncher, they check if the string is not too short or too long
coz if they string is shorter than the official size, you can get more power when you shoot

Or Just for WHF Events i.e Grade 1 Tournaments ?
So is Fake Burst is also being sold in Japan ? I know its not only due to people using fake and all. They also do it so its Fair for all the players.
To be honest I rarely see Fake beys In Japan.
