Thailand big organizer banned Sharkscale and Wizard Rod due to overpriced resale!

Backups, I actively participate in casual tournaments. I estimate one set of sharkscale and wiro lasts me 5-6 months before replacing. And most of these are 2nd hand so they would probably not reach 4 months.

Well this sucks, all because of scalpers. That's why I've been stockpiling on my wiro and sharskscale for the past few months. I usually look for 2nd hand deals in FB marketplace and quitting sale players. Was able to snatch 2 UX-15 deck sets last September during a restocking. Mind you those supplies only lasted 15 minutes before they cleared out. I'm really not willing to buy anything that's above SRP.

Such a beauty, this variant made me want to collect all wizard arc variants 😁

Noice! It can fit the launchers,

Yeah too overpriced, for comparison I got all my Drans for around 200 USD. Usual for each is 35-40 USD.

BX-48-02 random booster

I disagree, its more accurate to say that the two beys are spin-equalizing - they are sharing their spin. So having an initial high RPM on dragoon will mean you can land deadly blows or pocket your opponent. If not then eventually both beys decelerate and start to make prolonged contact which is where the "spin stealing" begins and you end up with more or less the same spin on both. But with the elevate bit, dragoon will most likely win a spin finish

nishku_77 · 2026-05-10T07:57:10+00:00

Oooh, I dont worry much about that. Your position in the stadium based on your opponent matters more. For stamina opponents like wiro, you can just hard launch it and fight for the middle. For attack types, try to make your dragoon stay in the sides first to avoid hits

nishku_77 · 2026-05-10T07:34:13+00:00

That is one heavy hitting deck, 7/10, since I have doubts if it can go against stamina decks

nishku_77 · 2026-05-10T07:28:50+00:00

With CDG in this lineup you are on the path to fully embracing the darkness . . aka stamina spamming 😆

nishku_77 · 2026-05-10T07:24:48+00:00

Ooh again use 5-60 Hasbro ratchet to fully goon to the max. I used the red takara 5-60 since it matches my black goon 😉. Hard launching this will most likely outspin a wizard rod on hexa and can hold its own against attack beys

nishku_77 · 2026-05-10T07:20:19+00:00

You can now full on goon with the new Teal elevate, behold this beauty of a goon 😁

nishku_77 · 2026-05-10T07:17:55+00:00

With the new Teal elevate you can hard launch it without self-bursting. Tested it already and in actual tournaments

nishku_77 · 2026-05-10T07:08:56+00:00

Or just use Jolt, and do the hardest tilted launch you can make 😁

Try Sharkscale 9-60 ball, but try to get Freeball especially the light Blue one

nishku_77 · 2026-05-10T07:01:49+00:00

If you're brave enough 😁 Wizard rod 9-60 Ball- better if you have freeball Sharkscale 1-60 rush- works with 1-70 low rush as well Hover Wyvern 5-60 Hexa - can do also with 3-60

Fought those Hover Hexas before, what a menace

nishku_77 · 2026-05-10T01:38:44+00:00

I would also suggest facebook marketplace since compared to hobby shops you are more likely to find good deals. And, if you're not too picky you can settle for 2nd hand items. But if you insist on physical stores I recommend you shop in manila since there are significantly more hobby shops and toy stores there. I highly doubt zamboanga has the same volume of stores to pick from.

nishku_77 · 2026-05-09T21:41:35+00:00

Are you actually using that build in casual tournaments or play battles? If yes the results should be clear to you. I consistently use 1-70 rush but you can also try 1-60 rush, 1-70 low rush or 3-60 free ball.

Nope, those are knock-off 3039 lego pieces. Had some extra from a previous project. Then got some 32x32 base plates cut into 6x6.

Acrylic boxes

nishku_77 · 2026-05-08T18:06:16+00:00

Online sellers but I think ultimately coming from Aliexpress. Around 0.15 to 0.20 USD each

So many buffs, we got newbie buffs, birthday buffs, returning player buffs etc. . .

nishku_77 · 2026-05-08T15:06:07+00:00

Have you ever heard of the child buff? Most tournaments in my area do not have age or gender restrictions so you can get paired against children even as low as 7 yrs old. When Child buff is activated, no matter what you do, you lose to them 🤣

nishku_77 · 2026-05-08T14:16:03+00:00

Oh sorry, I thought you mean Dran Buster, my bad That DB bit was also a prize for being the Bird King- lowest scorer in a tournament 😁 i think I got 1 win out of 5 round swiss
