Hey I watch Damiyo too! I love him! Played in his videos couple times!!
To be honest takara tomy and hasbro should re-release metal fight remakes, same design just remade. I think it would be a smart marketing strategy, before the next generation comes out.
If any beyblades need that its the plastics, mfb beys are significantly more durable after all
not smart. the new generation is making them money, there not gonna risk future or present money just to temporarily satisfied the past. i think mid fakes are a great way to relieve the past and not wasting your money on complete dog bs like rapidity
Exactly I agree
I agree, I'm 23 and wanting to get back into metal fight beys every now and then, because I never had that many during my childhood, but it's borderline impossible to get legit ones nowadays because the abundance of fakes. If hasbro and TT started re-releasing metal fight beys, it would be awesome, because I know there's a ton of people like me
@ahmadfirefoxx5939just go to wall of toys or beys and bricks
The primary issue with this is that it's getting much harder for players like me who want to bounce back into Metal Fight but can't afford to buy exclusively the authentic parts. Have you seen what most reshuffle sets go for nowadays? It hurts physically when I have to blow hundreds just for a couple of pieces, and the market on the WBO isn't as reliable as it once was. If these midfakes can prove themselves to be of even slightly higher quality and durability than those of Rapidity and Flame, then I say let people use them, as long as they can be proven safe. Beyblade should be accessible to everyone, not just the hardcore collectors.
Midfakes dont have lead in them. So theyre okay to use in tournaments.
Tell that to plastic gen
We dont even get BAD fakes most of the time
facts
Worst part is that some of the ones u might buy might not even be real
Amen!
In defense of the midfakes, buying used authentic Beyblades on Ebay doesn't exactly support Takara and Hasbro either. Midfakes serve an important role in this hobby for people who want to get Metal Fight beyblades without having to pay the ridiculously overblown Ebay prices of them.
Also buying authentic Beyblades on any website isn't even a nice feeling cuz its already been used and every part is worn out. Thats why getting midfakes are good. I think Beyblade should just re-release them
Real
fun story: during my secondary school days I started a "beyblade club" which did make 80% of teachers mad due to battles happening on chairs. they gave up at some point since it just became way too widespread (still funny to me). fake beyblades were something I never "banned" though, since everyone was just having fun. I regret this now haha..
I remember those days 😂😂👍
Wait where are u from
Ah yes i remember when me and my friends used to do those when we are in 5th grade to bad covid comes
Please tell us more you got me curious now

With respect, buying 100% authentic mfb beyblades off ebay or second-hand stores does not support the original creators. These products were either already purchased or sold to another store.
From my experience, the people who buy fakes/midfakes do so because the original versions aren't sold in their region and getting one from overseas can get expensive. Maybe TT & Hasbro have an obligation to their fans from all regions that they can afford the original products.
True, Brasil has no way to buy official Takara tomy beys in country and buying from outside makes them ludicruosly expensive like would you rather pay 250 dollars for a takara tomy Nemesis or pay 50 for a midfake one that's basically the same fucking thing?
that's true, I'm getting back into it but I bought midfakes because the prices are so outlandish sometimes
I buy midfake metal fight beys because I am NOT wasting hundreds of dollars for one or 2 real beys when I can just buy 3 or 4 midfakes for way less.
For burst I use Beyblade premier where they only sell legit ones
I dont really see how its a scam, you are getting an unofficial replica of something that isnt made anymore, if it performs the same as a legit bey which it does, and if it doesnt have lead which it doesnt, and can be used in tournaments which they can, then it just seems like you want people to pay over $30 for a rare bey because you think it supports tt. There doesnt really seem like theres a reason to not buy these so yea.
Also the parts are the same with the original in those midfakes while some rapidity beys for example don't even have the right parts💀
Fr this isn’t a “billion dollar scam” its pretty much like buying a hasbro beyblade
@@bruno_3020shade💀
Ive bought over 15 midfakes knowing they are midfakes, I would buy authentic ones but those are crazy expensive and “supporting the creators” is literally impossible since there hasnt been any official production in years. But I gotta say I am very impressed on how good the quality was for all of them outside of 2 that had a tiny piece of 3D print sticking out.
Did they get better? We bought some midfakes like 10 years ago because we were bored. We played in a steel wheelbarrow because we didn't have anything better in the garden, we ended up with metal scraps in the wheelbarrow from one of the beys. The boxes looked exactly like the ones in the video, I really can't remember if they had the Takara Tomy logo, we got them for 3-4 euros each.
@@avengedlol6698 those were definetly not midfakes if they were that cheap but rather cheaply fake made ones, but anyways if you are interested in getting metal fight beys and u dont want to spend a fortune and get the feeling of buying new beys then you should definetly look into it.
Tbh I have an entire beyblade collection and I’m very aware that they are midfakes however I spent about $200 on them for about 60 beys and all of them battle really well and launch and are very well made (for midfakes) they are a cheaper alternative especially if you just want to battle! And have fun! I recommend them to anyone that just likes old metal beys. :3
rapidity?
Never but rapidity, they are really shiny, almost gold, and they seem to be really cheap, go to the midfakes ones who seem to be the real takara tomy ones
why should i care if theyre fake or not, if theyre not horrible quality and dont break, i can simply use them. sure if youre a collector who gets off on just looking at these things in their original package or something you might have a reason to be angry, but honestly i think its great someone still produces them so people can play with something that's 90% identical to what we had back in the day.
If that’s what you want to do, go for it. Just as long as you’re aware that they aren’t genuine and that it Infringes on TT copyright.
The whole video was supposed to tell people that these eBay listings saying “genuine” is a lie.
True
@@nucI have heard that takara tomy has given licence for midfakes
@@nucyep
@@harshbhatia3069 i feel like that makes sence bc if im not mistaken tt hasn't said anything about the midfakes, they are 100% aware of this so if they are fake then why not say it? for me i think its true about midfakes getting the license
A little late to the party there, but a very informative and important video for the community nonetheless.
As a collector myself I have gone through the struggles of identifying them apart in the past so I will list some tips here:
For new in box listings:
1. Code (at bottome of box) - last 2 digits should NOT end in 12, 13, or 14 as these numbers represent the year of manufacturing and metal fight ended in 2011 for the majority of Takara Tomy beys. If you can, ask seller for a picture of a code, if they're confident in their product they will be happy to provide.
2. Box color and clarity - midfakes are washed out in color. Also look at the smaller Japanese text... midfakes have blurry text while real Tomy ones have very clear printed characters. (This is one of the ways I tell midfakes when looking at photos of listings, when code is not shown)
3. Location of item - best avoid ones from Taiwan and China as these are where the midfakes factories are at.
4. Sometimes they have sample photos of the contents, in which case use the tests below.
For second hand listings and beys you already own:
5. Facebolt tattoo - is off-centered for midfakes
6. Stickers - for midfakes, coloring is washed out and less saturated, while printing may be off-centered. A great example of this is Phantom Orion. I recommend DaimyoGT's video on Phantom Orion midfake comparison.
7. Plastic moulding - the moulding of the facebolt, clear wheel, spin track and performance tip of real Tomy or Hasbro beys are very clean. Midfakes however, have a lot of excess plastic and jagged cuts.
8. Metal wheel moulding - most obvious one... midfakes have bad moulding and less detail. A good example is Earth Eagle 145WD, the clear wheel does not fit perfectly in the fusion wheel for midfakes due to bad moulding. The Diablo wheel also has trouble fitting with the X:D tip and Nemesis' ultimate balance mode does not work due to it being too stiff.
Hope this helps for anyone who is looking~
Another one you can tell from TT and Hasbro compare to a fake, The screws they use.
I BUYED AN ORIGINAL TAKARA TOMY BEY ON ALIEXPRESS HOW(I think because I dont have the box)
So what if buying metal fight beys online do I make sure that it's price starts at least $20.00? To make sure it's legit
I don't understand if they can print codes why not print 11 instead of 12 ,13 ,14?
For beysandbricks, it is extremely easy to tell if it's a midfake. They literally spell it out for you. If the item says "OEM Status: Reproduction" its a guaranteed midfake.
Idk why Takara Tomy or Hasbro hasn't capitalized on this. Clearly a lot of people still care about metal fight era of Beyblade.
It's one of the most heartbreaking bombshells when I discovered at least half of my 4D beys were midfakes, but I didn't know back when I bought them. I did however notice their odd quality, specifically their rubber tips, messier metal wheel moldings and strange text printed. What's more frustrating is the launchers even still say "Takara Tomy" molded on them. Thankfully, my rarer beys like Duo or Jade are genuine. Midfakes aren't terrible, they have okay quality, but like you said, they still don't help support the actual creators.
......Buying metal fight beys hasn't supported the real creators in like 8 years, you've been supporting third party sellers if you buy real ones
@@castor9907 Yes I know that, but you knew exactly what I was trying to say...
@@JinWBO no, I really don't have any idea what you're actually trying to say...?
Unless you're equating money gained by a collector selling to other collectors to supporting takara Tomy...which is just incorrect. If you don't want mids because of quality and them being reproductions, that's fine; but don't act like you're going to be supporting TT by buying real ones from collectors on ebay
@@castor9907 What I was ACTUALLY trying to say that is it, as a fan of Takara Tomy's beyblade products, I feel like I should show my support (not necessarily a financial one) by buying the legitimate things. I'm not claiming that they'll go "Oh wow, they're awesome for buying the products we made!", but it's more mentally, that it feels right to support their product by buying something the company have actually made.
I wasn't trying to "pretend" that I was supporting TT financially by buying their actual products.
Midfakes are insane, but I can confirm that midfakes don't exist for plastic gen, and burst is safe for now
burst is boing to be over soon, eventually the only way will be midfakes after all actual produced ones are gone
“Buying mid fakes doesn’t support the creators” well….that’s what happens when the creators stop selling them lol
It seems obvious to you as you’ve seen the full video/know what the are.
But when people get tricked by listings that say they’re “genuine” then the realization is it’s not actually TT means the money spent doesn’t support TT.
@@nuc I do agree on that, it’s pretty scammy to list knock offs as genuine. Beys&Bricks now specify if it’s legit or midfake so at least that’s something. In addition to the code list you mentioned
Sure, but like what do you do if you want a specific metal fight bey in new condition and don't have £100+ to buy it. Is it my fault that they didn't make enough copies for everyone? And why didn't they continue producing some of them, like once an year or so? This way we wouldn't be temped to buy midfakes that are so close to the real thing :/
My reason for not buying real Beyblades is because takaratomy do not sell beys in our country and even if they did i would not have brought it because of the high price. Just imagine paying more than 40$ for a piece of plastic and metal in a country where a a single dollar amounts to 80 native currency.
Technically you are not scammed if you get what you pay for.
If it's fake then you won't experience the real beyblade + it has lead so you might, I don't know DIE?
@@christianlala3702 First of all these do not contain lead these use a zinc alloy just like the real thing. We know this because lead is more dense and thus if these were made with lead should have been a lot heavier compared to the original one. Secondly lead paint was used in the past in homes and other art pieces even in dishes. And lead is not dangerous unless you eat or inhale it.
And these are pretty much 1:1 replica of the original so you get the full experience...
I’d love to support the actual creators but they quit making them. How am I support to give them my money for one? Because you can’t. Even if I’d love to. Even buying real ones for $100+ isn’t supporting them. It’s supporting whomever you bought it from…… there’s literally no way to enjoy our classic beyblades without spending everything to have one or these thoughtful people who bring midfakes to us at an affordable price.
I don’t think it’s a scam for me because I buy them on purpose. When it comes to 4d beyblades there is almost no other option than buying midfakes because the originals are to expensive here in Europe. But when it comes to metal fusion/masters beys only buy authentic tt or hasbro because they are way easier to get and way way cheaper. So I kinda like midfakes for that one reason just that it allows me to have these goddamn beyblades.
I've been a victim of these midfakes... In 2017 I ordered Big Bang Pegasis, Diablo Nemesis, and Basalt Horogium, and 4-5 years later I found out that they were fake all along...
As far as I know Midfakes don't exist for Plastic Gen/HMS and Burst. It's honestly an MFB exclusive kind of thing.
Thanks for making a video on this, Jake! I think I’ve been pretty close on buying one of these beys while thinking they were legit ones, maybe some scalpers had gotten a hold of them. Idk. But thanks for always being a bright light in the beyblade community.
"The problem with fakes is that buying them doesn't support the creators of beyblade" idk man seems like they're creating more metal fight beys than Tamara Tomy. Buying authentic beys only helps resellers, so by that logic if we want more metal beys we should buy midfakes, not authentic beys.
If you ask me, intellectual property is the real scam. Just look at transformers, where the third party toys are higher quality and better designed than any official releases. I reckon if we didn't have such a hard-on for authenticity in this community, third party manufacturers wouldn't need to lie about it, and there could be more open competition and comparison of midfakes, leading to beys that are even better than the originals.
How can we support if they stopped production? Soon no new authentic will be available and all you can get is a used authentic, which will be worse than a new midfake.
@@ryugathestrongest The last part is false, a used authentic Beyblade in good-mint condition is easily better than a midfake.
If you say getting midfakes are better then getting authentic beys, that’s completely false, TT and Hasbro defiantly made more metal beys For now, and buying authentic Beyblades doesn’t just help the reseller, it helps you, since you have the authentic ones and the accurate looking ones, so by the right logic, if you want to buy more metal fight Beyblades buy authentices in good to mint condition rather than midfakes, I can understand getting them you know if it’s a rare bey like Jade or Fusion Hades, but when it’s normal beys get authentices
@@maxpalmer325 how many authentics are there in good-mint condition rn? And they'll decrease as years pass. Also, midfakes are accurate looking and have the correct parts, fakes like rapidity are not.
I'm 23 and wanting to get back into metal fight beys every now and then, because I never had that many during my childhood, but it's borderline impossible to get legit ones nowadays because the abundance of fakes. If hasbro and TT started re-releasing metal fight beys, it would be awesome, because I know there's a ton of people like me that would be re-living our childhood
It's not even necessarily a scam at this point unless they start charging the now inflated price if the originals due to scarcity.
Buying the real ones doesn't support the makers of the originals anymore. It's a secondary market. The money for Takara Tomy has been made already.
If Takara Tomy remade the genuine stuff and brought it to market, then the midfakes would be a total scam again.
If you want the genuine stuff, then if it looks too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true.
Though the sellers claiming legitimacy where there isn't legitimacy? They are scamming.
That’s the main issue. Companies putting “genuine” when it’s not. If people are aware of what they’re buying… then it’s MUCH more ethical.
I'm glad midfakes and rapidity didn't exist back when I was a kid growing up on the original (tbh I even sort of "grew up" on metal fight) but it is disheartening to see even Metal Fight prices for originals be so extreme. I understand paying $100+ for Dragoon MS, the Beyblade is almost 20 years old and one of the most prized beys in existence thanks to how limited HMS itself was, but $100+ for L-Drago Destroy or Meteo L-Drago? That's straight up bs
My boy called out beys & bricks💀
I buy midfakes off of beystation and i knew they were midfakes before I even bought them
When people in discord servers ask me if they should buy off of beystation I say yes but warn them that they are indeed midfakes
If y’all have a problem with this then please reply with your reasoning
As far as I’m concerned as long as you buy it knowing it’s a midfake and you don’t try and pass it as the real thing it’s fine
What is the quality of those mod fakes ?
@@iamgar6age insanely close to the quality of real TT and Hasbro beys. They’re a bit lighter and definitely would recommend getting a TT or Hasbro if you can find it cheaper than a midfake but mids are great for having fun with
I dont think midfakes do anyharm to takara tomy. Autenthic mfb prices skyrocketed after they stopped producing new mfb beys . Takara tomy doesnt sell them anymore anyway so have fun with your midfakes guys
I actually don’t have a problem with Midfakes and even think there are decent deal for people who weren’t around during the metal fight days and want to get into it for the experience my big problem like you said it’s people selling them as real when they’re not and deceiving people Who don’t know any better who just think they’re getting a good deal
To those of u out there.
Midfakes do have lead in them.
BUT unless your putting giant scratches on your midfakes there should be no problem as theres a metric ton of paint on them.
The videos lead testing them have different answers depending on it they've scratched them or not.
Also I've heard that midfakes are used as alternatives in metal tournaments but I'm not sure if it's true
This isn’t entirely true because not all midfakes have lead, you can tell due to the oxidisation rate. Lead never oxidises, that’s why despite use obvious lead beys like rapidity stay shiny but authentic will have the zinc alloy turn grey
@@Chriscraft-ug3sz it's hard to tell honestly with how much paint is on the midfakes lol
@@aisaback6221 paint doesn’t oxidise and tends to chip so it’s not hard to tell
midfakes are legal in tournaments
Even original can contain lead bruh
I got over 100 beyblades as a kid and never saw a real one irl I thought the mid fakes were authentic they were the only ones I found. Sadly, I discovered that 10 years later.
This is frustrating. My friend and I recently got back into MFB after 10+ years and we want to get new parts/beys for our collections but you really can't trust anything now. I bought a TT Flame Libra and Dark Cancer a couple years back and while they seem to look and perform genuine I'm still not 100% sure.
Today is 2022, which is 14 years after Metal Fight saga debuted (The pre hybrid wheel lineup debut in 2008, then in 2009 comes the Hybrid Wheel system and Anime that we all come to know)..... or specifically 10 years after metal fight 4D ended so even without the knowlegde of midfakes people should've guessed that these so called "Takara Tomy" or "Hasbro" ones selling at that kinda price today is no way the real deal. A Beyblade once their lineup passed on would instantly become rare and harder to find in the after market, and this also applies to Burst too. Like example a Cho Z bey would become rarer once we have reached SuperKing or DB era, so even if even beys part of older Burst lineup is getting rarer then save to say that beys from previous Generations like Bakuten or Metal Fight is almost impossible to find an authentic one with a normal price.
I mean you can find actual in box sealed takara tomy and hasbro plastics for that price or less. (Depending on bey, ones with particular anime significance are extremely high price, while insignificant but competitively amazing beys can go for under 10 dollars)
Mfb and burst are just expensive.
Great way to expose the scams going rampant all over many websites! Thanks for featuring one of my vids, and shout out too! I appreciate it 🙏
I can't afford the real ultimate valkryie and I might get the flame one but I am wondering if they have lead or not
Conclusion: Fun can't be fake or midfake or original....
👍🏻
Where can I find real metal series beyblades
I mean, how do you even buy legit beys if they actually stopped producing them?
You can't. Its impossible, but its more of a knowledge sort of thing vs advice for how to do better. They dont produce them anymore, so people need to know what they're buying isnt supporting TT and isnt genuine. IF you already know that, that's fine. IF you don't, hopefully now you do.
The thing is what we can do. I hate beyblade burst, the core mechanic that is bursting beyblades got to a point that is better to not burst them, and now they are built with so many teeth and anti burst systems, that for me shows me how bad it is. Recently I found my old collection of hasbro beyblades, like 5 month ago. My little brother got interested as well as my sister (and man, they're 16-17 yrs old, that's how awesome metal fight is)... I never experienced the 4D system. So I bought roughly 10 midfakes and they are awesome. If TT would still doing them I would buy them original, 0 problem. I mean is cheap enough to import them from amazon japan to my country. but they don't and I refuse to pay for a pre owned beyblade 100 usd+. I want to enjoy them metal, all of us. (I do have some BU TT beyblades, and yet we still hate them) the string launchers are great tho, have adapted 3 of them to metal fight :p
Bought a Twisted Tempo once, well turns out the Ring was hollow and litterally lighter than a flame ring.
the sad thing is that it’s so hard to find real ones and it will take a very long time to find a real one
the fact that fake db beys have more details than Hasbro qd beys 💀💀
eBay says they don’t allow for counterfeit items yet their listings are full of fakes😂.
We in Russia understand that we buy midfakes, for example, from the SB brand. They are cheap, and at the same time ok qualityWe in Russia understand that we buy midfakes, for example, from the SB brand. They are cheap, and at the same time ok quality (price 350-600 Rub). But the launchers are really bad and quickly fail.
Idc im buying mistakes no reason for a beyblade to be 300
If you see a Beyblade that cost $1 million is obviously a scam no piece of plastic should cost that much
I prefer to buy burst beys because mid fakes of metal fight makes very dificcult to buy a real one.
I remember i had gotten a beyblade legends storm pegasus and a midfake rock leone.
One hit, one hit was all it took for the the pegasus to destroy the fusion wheel and launch it towards the wall
Flame brand is already a billion dollar company by now ..
Yeah I’m just a casual player, and I often buy midfakes cause they are really affordable
While I think its wrong to brand them as takara tomy according to the WBO some midfakes are actually tournament legal due to the accuracy of the parts and the accessibility
I'm still messed up finding out my flame libra is fake
How can you support TT when they don't make Metal fight beys anymore and people that have original TT or Hasbro want like $60 to $80 for 1 bey
It’s the company’s fault that makes beyblades. Their decision to discontinue making these with so much demand is on them. I do not care if buying these beys doesn’t support takartoymi, if they wanted my money they should’ve made the beys I wanted.
but if they arent i production anymore then how the hell u wanna support beyblade otherwise than buying it and bring other people to get beys.
4:03 problem here, they no longer sell mfb beys there for we cannot support them anyway and the people who resale them sell them at a very high price due to demand and even then it still doesn't support Takara Tomy
If a code is written on each part of the beyblade, i.e., face, ring, wheel, track, and tip, then is there any possibility it's a midfake?
Anyone know where you can get Real beyblades? Metals series
Is this an issue for just Takara Tomy products or does it effect Hasbro products as well? Just ordered a Hasbro Beyblade last night, had no idea schemes like this were even possible. And if it is how can I tell it’s a midfake from the original version?
I’m not sure about that. I know Takara for sure but Hasbro may be affected as well, it’s much more rare though.
FYI: not a lot of people know, those fake beys are not allowed to be sold in the USA, they are harmful to children, The fakes are not CPC approved (children product certificate) all toys MUST be CPC approved if they are intended for children under 12.
I was able to tell it's the midfake because it looked the newest. Not because of anything else. Scary.
I did a lead test with my chem teacher to test if my midfakes had lead. We dissolved the beyblade in hydrochloride acid to see if there was any lead content but nothing happened. I did find that some paints could contain lead
I will say that Mcfaboy10 got one of his tested at an actual lab where they scanned the whole wheel and it had zero lead. This was just one example, but this test was a lot more accurate then the cheap lead tests.
i ordered 5 from them 3 legit 2 midfakes the midfakes are pretty good quality though so im not complaining
I really don’t get what’s the problems with them besides distributors claiming they are TT, the “buying mids takes away support from the original manufacturer thing” I don’t think it’s valid because TT doesn’t sell them anymore anywhere so they are not profiting from them, and the quality of the beys itself is pretty close to the real thing if not the same from my experience, also repeated testing on CZcams and from my local community shows they do not contain lead, what’s your opinion on mids? For me they are totally fine
The point of the video was to make people aware of the listings that call them genuine or authentic. Midfakes themselves? Not for me but I don't mind them.
@@nuc cool that you answered, good vids man
For me it’s almost impossible to find real beyblades under the 100, so I have to buy midfakes.
I have a few to point out.
The rubber on the meteo L-drago is soft, even softer than my Hasbro on, and even most off the tips off the beys I bought also feature usable rubber.
I have only one question, I heard midfakes are licensed by tt is that real?
Like you said , when we buy fakes we are obviously not suporting takaratomy or hasbro but in order to support them they should start making old beys again with a resonable price so people who are in to old gen beys can support them again and just have fun without worrying if ther fake or not
Honestly with how prevalent Midfakes & Rapidity were/are I hope one day, as unlikely as it may be, we see a re-release of previous beyblade generations. It's probably nigh impossible, and maybe all of the molds have been long destroyed, but it would be a dream to see a dead competitive game resurrected even if for a short while.
Buuut, that's just a pipe dream.
Dang I think I might of bought these mid fakes last year do they contain lead?
I didn't even know this was still a thing.... Back in my youth we had to worry about Sunokong and TT hongli beyblades in the plastics generation.
I'm sure sonokong is fine as it's takara tomys Chinese or Korean company
The reason why people (including me) want to buy midfakes is because they are cheaper, I don`t have 30 dollars per beyblade to spend, end of story.
I think there are much worse mid fakes out there. It wasn't even a week ago when I wanted to buy Flame Sagetario. I found one on Amazon and ordered it. The bay had completely wrong parts. It had the Spintrack of Libra and a flat attack-type blade tip. So things get so much worse.
Try buying from beys and bricks
Not all of us are sponsored by Hasbro and TT behind the scenes to advertise their products, bub. The prices for those originals are fucking ridiculous now, not to mention the scalpers who sell used Beyblades at even more obscene prices. And TT and Hasbro wanna act all high and mighty and neither re-release the originals, nor distribute their products throughout the world. So yeah midfakes are way better than burning your pockets for something that should be made available to children and collectors around the world.
I dont think anyone is getting paid by TT or Hasbro "behind the scenes" to advertise products. "bub".
And there is no "high and mighty" attitude by these companies to re-release OLD products that aren't relevant anymore. If Hasbro and TT are trying to push Beyblade X... why would they release beys from 2 generations ago? Should Honda release a 2010 car again just because? No, that's not how it works. I also say throughout the video, and especially at 6:08, that I don't hate midfakes. I just have a problem with listings calling them genuine when they aren't. I appreciate you giving your opinion here, but I also implore you to do more research on the topic, and to avoid odd insults.
@@nuc if they weren't relevant anymore, there wouldn't be fakes out there en masse, which are only getting better and more indistinguishable from the real thing. And TT wouldn't be releasing X remakes of classic plastic gen Beys if they weren't relevant anymore. And finally, there would be no scam to expose if the earlier versions weren't still popular and worth investing a large amount into copying.
As for the whole sponsorship thing, whales on social media either are sponsored industry plants or they have a shit ton of viewers and they earn back all the expenses they invest into these products. Rest of us don't have that kind of cash flow, so nostalgia needs to not be an expensive luxury for us.
Who....in this World..is buying a fucking Beyblade 1.000.000 Dollar🤦♂️?
I've only bought a handful of midfakes by accident. And after talking to some people about them they are not the worst thing to buy. Some are barely different than the real ones. My mid fakes that I've bought always worked properly
The only ones I’d say you really have to get legit ones for are Meteo L Drago and Phantom Orion. I had a midfake Orion for years before I knew about these and got a real one recently and the difference is night and day. The Bearing Drive on the midfake might as well be stationary in comparison to the real deal
the thing is, they are competitively allowed and that itself is already a dub tbh
Mfb is my favorite and I hate that the only way to get real ones is to pay 100+ dollars just for a a piece of metal and some plastic pieces that aren't even close to costing that much
Where do you buy real takara tomy bablades
They don't make them anymore and haven't for over a decade. If you want bayblades that you can be sure are real and support the creators, then you kinda have to buy whatever is the newest product is. Honestly, with how bad Hasbro's quality control is these days, the fakes are probably on par with Hasbros stuff.
wtf that's the exact rapidity set i bought when i was a kid lol
Why don't takara Tomy re-release metal fight Beyblade with reasonable pricing cause there is basically high demand for them
That might happen in gen 4
4:05 the issue is that hasbro and takara don’t sell these in stores anymore. Buying them used do not support the creators because they don’t get any new money from that 5:04
At this point, its the original's fault because theg are no longer jn production.
Well only Beyblade fandom is the only fandom that is killing itself from lead poisoning and that is sad ngl😢
It's scary to think that even some with well-known brands even be faked. I'm not into beyblade, but have a son who is into it, I don't think I can ever be knowledgeable enough to differentiate a real one from a good fake, if I stick with buying exclusively with Mall of Toys, can I be completely sure that it's real?
Hey, did you get that Diablo nemesis from Beysandbricks?
No, I bought off of eBay. I know people that have bought off beysandbricks tho
why doesn't Hasbro and takara tomy produce the metal fusion ones if thats what most mid fakes making their money on? because i really want to buy and at this point im okay getting a mid fake
i understand that they are midfakes thats the reason of the name, theres no way to support the creators of beyblades with metal fight or plastic gen, and once the burst gets out of production theres gonna be midfakes of those too, i understand the reason you set fourth of, "saying they are genuine takara tomy beys."
If the price for the beyblade is cheaper then normal it’s most likely a fake like takara tomy beys are always pretty expensive. Also I was able to tell which one was the mid fake right away since the color of the bey is a little different then a normal takara tomy or hasbro bey.
I've gotten my Beys off of Ever-Wish... I haven't had any Problems with them AT ALL and They sell em really cheap too
but since takara tomy doesn't make metal beys anymore even if you buy original beys you won't be supporting them. instead you will be supporting those who had already bought them at a cheaper price and stocked them 8 years ago
Its getting hard to tell since the only real ones left that are being sold are b-stock. Ive gotten manu woth bad molds that are wiggly etc.
There's nothing wrong with midfakes. they're safe, tournament standards, good quality and affordable
Well not all people have 20 now 30 dollars to spare for a beyblade, where i live hasbro beyblade that costs 20.99 dollars in us will cost 26 dollars because of shipping fee and other expenses, also shipping beyblades from mall of toys would add half of beyblade price to total because of shipping and 21% increase expense. Dont forget inflation
I don't mind buying the midfakes at all...I know they aren't genuine. It's just really nice to be able to buy a new beyblade from my childhood. It's even better since I have adult money and can buy all the ones I wanted as a kid and not have to spend an arm and a leg to get an authentic used one.
Exactly, midfakes aren’t even that bad either depending on where you buy them
Nice video buddy. Seriously, selling fakes are straight up illegal. I don't know why Tomy just sit there and let it happen. Plus I remember getting a fake around the late 2010s without even knowing them, I'm so happy I threw them away.
me with a small channel that risks my health:im gonna take a gamble and pray the midfakes i have dont have lead
İ buyed once a midfake. As a mistake . İ was a child and buyed the evolved version of flame sagitario. That's how i can spot now the midfake. The fusionwheel is rough , it looks even rough. Normal bays are looking like Haven a round metal texture while the others are rough . İf in box is a black launcher with a long black strip and if the metal is a little thinner than its fake. Besides they have no metal bottom tip.
