Was it significantly cheaper than its identical counterparts from other sources?ĭoes the bey seem to have a chrome like coating on the metal parts? Was it listed as Takara Tomy or Hasbro from the site you ordered it from? Yes: It is real (with the exception of midfakes boxes) Most if not all midfake beys will have a production code of A0813 with some exceptions which can be seen in the Takara Tomy Original Codes Metal Series pinned postĭoes it have Takara Tomy or Hasbro written on the packaging? This section will be speaking in general terms and will not dive to deep into midfakes as there is a dedicated post regarding midfakes and what they are, the general consensus in the community to date is that midfakes are Takara-Tomy branded Beyblades with issues + different alloys, produced in Taiwan with Takara-Tomy blue-prints but can be identified using the production code stamped into the bottom of the box.
