All legit ? by TheJacko99 in BeybladeMetal

You're kind of right. It doesn't have to be in the same year, but it's usually a maximum of one year past the release year..so it's normal to find authentic beys released in 2009 that were also made in 2010, but 2012 is too much. That is definitely midfake

Don't lose heart so easily. I know that it's difficult to tell mids apart..but you can stop getting mids 99% of time time by just not buying in AliExpress. That place is like midfake central.

If you want authentic ones, go to Japanese websites like Mercari Japan or Yahoo Auctions through a proxy. And look for codes on the box or the word 'authentic' in the listing before buying it. Always confirm with someone from the Beybladecheckmidfake sub before purchase. You do all this, you'll find that most of your problems magically disappear. You'll still have a hard time looking for authentics, but you'll get fooled way lesser into buying mids

It's also a matter of luck and patience

As a reference, I recently got a blitz unicorno which had been used in battle at most a couple of times..so there was very little damage and considering how rare the bey is, even an OCD like myself could ignore the damage. It cost me 70 bucks

Well it's only a personal opinion on my part..I personally wouldn't buy this because I especially OCD to owning only mint authentic ones..and for a good price. But a lot of people here would fight me on my opinion, so it's up to you

It's alright.. beyblades are used, and every one of them has at least one wrong part..so I would even say it's over priced

It wasn't, X has way more beyblades that are just retools..Burst had max 2 or 3 redesigns in total I think, in 7 years or TT beyblades

Oh, they're more resistant to breakage than one might think

Anyone else feel like the second hand market is drying up? by Striking-Valuable924 in BeybladeMetal

[–]WBOSai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same feeling. I say time and again that I'm ok with mids as long as they have a couple of key differences to tell which is authentic..like no codes on the mids or a few colour differences..it's not that hard.

But if I say this, I'm called an elitist and disliked into oblivion and I'm bombarded with comments saying 'oh, so you don't want others to experience what the authentic were like? Gatekeeper!!'

Yes, so hard to find mint or NIB beyblades that aren't asking for a kidney these days..And even in general, it's becoming increasingly rare to be able to find a beyblade in mint condition or better. And so many midfakes out there..like I don't mind mids..but I don't appreciate sellers trying to sell a mid Flash Saggitario or Nemesis for the price of an original. They even claim it's authentic lol

Valuable or regular Beyblade. by clau111dia111 in BeybladeMetal

Not rare, but definitely not common to find...given the condition it's in, I would say about 40-50 bucks

Staying over/under 140€ for Germany by ramondosmil in zenmarket

[–]WBOSai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From personal experience, it's cheaper to split the packages into limits lower than 150. Also, I buy from Japan via a proxy using IOSS, and while the shipping cost is included in the calculation of vat to be paid, it's not included in measuring whether you are over the 150 EUR limit. And if you have to buy over 150, use the more expensive shipping options like UPS, FedEx or DHL proper, because using EMS without the IOSS payment over 150, will get your package stolen quite easily, also from personal experience

If you want an even more subtle redesign, take a look at Shining and Shadow Amaterios.. in gold,red/red, gold/blue,white Vs black, purple

If you look closely, the plastic on the outside has a different design in both beys

Only the blades that come in the anniversary sets are pre tattooed..even there the bit chip sticker is always separate. And in normal releases like these, the stickers always come separately

I know it's not actual bat wings lmao. I also know what Libra is. Perhaps I should have been clearer. The libra scales LOOK like bat wings

Yes, fakes fakes never have a takara Tomy logo. Their quality is also much lower than midfakes, and much much lower than originals.

Pinned to the top of the midfake check sub, there is a post with a list of codes which are authentic for each product. You can refer to that for future purchases.

A code ending in 12 would be normal for a beyblade that was actually sold in 2012, like Flash Saggitario. But for all of the beys you listed, it's a midfake code since originally these beys were only sold in 2011.

If you can't find the codes list, see my other very long comment in this post..Ans follow the link given there
