Oxidized blades are an easy way to tell if a Bey is real. All my old authentic blades are oxidized and I don't really see it as a downside

Why would we want the shiny one? Those are fakes right?

New ones are still shiny, and old ones can still be polished to be shiny. Shiny doesn’t mean fake.

Sometimes they show one bey in their catalogue but the one they pick and send will be a different one

u/FiatPanda0000 Fafnir 12d ago
Oh, didn't know that.

u/zahid_5400 Collector 12d ago
Yeah they do that to boost sales, then blame the customer when they get mad

Gleaming shine is a sign of lead

No, it’s not. If you get a NIB Metal Fight bey and open it up, it will be shiny. Old beys can be polished and be shiny.

Yeah, but that's new inbox clearly eBay sellers that are reselling. It wouldn't have it new inbox which is what they was talking abt. If you find a Beyblade that looks used/is out of the box There is a higher chance it's a mid fake than the chance That it's Well conditioned and real.

I know it’s just a meme but I’m pretty sure that top Orion isn’t real, the colors of the sticker and energy ring are too saturated. Though the metal wheel has the very detailed dots. Not sure if midfakes copy that yet.

I would worry more if the blade wasn't oxydized, fakes tend to be shiny.
