This rare Beyblade is unique in the style of its release and limited quantities. Rather than a full Bey, Takara Tomy released components of the Gold Ace Dragon during the “Beyblade Burst Gold Turbo” Get Campaign.

Thankfully, a few sellers have completed Gold Ace Dragons, but it certainly detracts from the assembly experience!

The Zero-G Random Booster Vol. 4 set was supposed to debut in 2013 but was canceled for undisclosed reasons. Fans speculate it was because Beyblade had suffered a decline in sales during previous years or that the anime episodes meant to include these Beyblades would no longer premiere. With that said, no one knows for sure whether some of the set had already been produced, potentially making these the rarest Beyblades of all time.
