Beyblade X Product Codes Explained (2026): BX vs UX vs CX, Starter vs Booster, and How to Read 9-60GF

TL;DR

Every Beyblade X product has a code like BX-23 or UX-08, and every bey has a name like Phoenix Wing 9-60GF. The first tells you the product line and release order; the second tells you the three parts inside. Once you can read both, the Japanese market — where these launch first and cheapest — opens up. In a sweep of 368 live Japanese listings on 11 September 2026 the median asking price was ¥4,199.

• BX is the Basic Line that launched with the series in July 2023^[1]; UX is the Unique Line; CX is the newest prefix.
• Starter = bey + launcher. Booster = bey only. Random Booster = blind box with several possible beys.
• Blade / Ratchet / Bit are the three parts. In “Phoenix Wing 9-60GF”, Phoenix Wing is the Blade, 9-60 the Ratchet, GF the Bit.
• Xtreme Dash (Xダッシュ) is the series gimmick: a gear on the Bit engages the stadium’s rail for a burst of speed^[1].

What Beyblade X is, from Takara Tomy’s own history

Beyblade began in July 1999 with Bakuten Shoot Beyblade — three models including Ultimate Dragoon, sold as a “next-generation beigoma battle”^[1]. Metal Fight followed in August 2008, Burst in July 2015, and BEYBLADE X in July 2023^[1]. Takara Tomy describes X as inheriting the competitive customisation of the original series, the metal contact of Metal Fight and the burst finish of Burst, then adding the Xtreme Dash acceleration gimmick, with four basic-line models at launch^[1]. The Beybattle Pass launcher attachment links to the BEYBLADE X app over Bluetooth to bank digital Bey Points^[1]; the TV anime began in October 2023; and Phoenix Wing, with its metal-coated three-blade design, arrived in December 2023^[1]. A Crossover Project for the 25th anniversary reissues classic beys — Dranzer S and Driger S first — in X form^[1].

Reading the product code: BX, UX, CX

• BX-nn (Basic Line). The launch line and the backbone of the system. Numbers run in release order, so BX-01 is a 2023 launch bey and BX-34 is later. BX also holds the system products: BX-10 Xtreme Stadium is the standard arena and BX-11 Launcher Grip the standard grip.
• UX-nn (Unique Line). Beys with non-standard gimmicks — Wizard Rod’s wide stamina disc, Silver Wolf’s free-spinning ball, Meteo Dragoon’s revival of a classic name. UX products tend to be the ones adult collectors hunt.
• CX-nn. The newest prefix. CX beys use a different construction and a longer part code — Night Fortress GV8-70UN on the picks page is the pattern — so CX parts and BX/UX parts are not always interchangeable. Read listings carefully.

Starter, Booster, Random Booster, set

• Starter (スターター). One bey plus a launcher. If you own no launcher yet, buy a Starter first; it is the only way to get a launcher without paying for the grip separately.
• Booster (ブースター). The bey alone. Cheaper, and what you buy once you have a launcher.
• Random Booster (ランダムブースター). A blind box with a fixed pool of possible beys and rare colour variants. The “confirmed pull” listings on Japanese resale (開封済み・中身確定) are how you buy a specific rare from the pool without gambling.
• Battle Entry Set / stadium sets. Two beys, two launchers and a stadium in one box — the right first purchase for two players.

Reading the bey name: Blade, Ratchet, Bit

Every X bey is three parts, and the name lists them in order.

• Blade — the metal-and-plastic top layer that carries the name and does the hitting. Phoenix Wing, Wizard Rod, Dran Buster and Cobalt Dragon are Blades.
• Ratchet — the middle ring, written as two numbers. The first is the number of protrusions (its shape), the second the height in tenths of a millimetre: 9-60 is nine-sided and 6.0 mm; 3-80 is three-sided and 8.0 mm. Height changes how the bey engages the stadium rail.
• Bit — the tip, written as letters. GF (Gear Flat), F (Flat), B (Ball), FB (Free Ball), DB (Disc Ball), C (Cyclone) and so on. The Bit’s gear is what produces Xtreme Dash^[1], so it decides attack vs stamina behaviour more than anything else.

Because the three parts are interchangeable within a line, serious players buy Boosters for parts and build combinations. That is also why part-only listings (パーツ) exist on the Japanese market and are worth searching separately.

Codes you will see in listing titles this season, all taken from the sweep: 3-60F, 3-60LF, 3-60S, 3-80N, 3-80B, 3-80FB, 4-60T, 4-60D, 4-60LF, 4-70P, 5-60P, 5-60F, 5-60HT, 5-70DB, 9-60GF, 9-60LR, 1-60A and 2-60C. The number before the dash is the ratchet blade count, the number after it the height in tenths of a millimetre (60 / 70 / 80), and the letters the bit: F Flat, LF Low Flat, B Ball, FB Free Ball, DB Disc Ball, T Taper, HT High Taper, N Needle, P Point, S Spike, A Accel, C Cyclone, GF Gear Flat. Parts sell loose too — ratchets and bits from opened boosters are a real sub-market.

Beys you will see by name

These Blade names all appeared in the live sweep, so they are what is actually on the Japanese market now. Basic Line (BX): Dran Sword, Hells Scythe, Knight Shield, Wizard Arrow, Shark Edge, Leon Claw, Unicorn Sting, Dran Dagger, Rhino Horn, Cobalt Drake, Phoenix Wing, Hells Chain, Wyvern Gale, Tyranno Beat, Cobalt Dragoon, Samurai Saber, Perseus Dark and Impact Drake. Unique Line (UX): Dran Buster, Wizard Rod, Black Shell, Silver Wolf, Whale Wave, Shinobi Shadow, Golem Rock and Meteo Dragoon. CX: Night Fortress. Hasbro’s international releases rename several of these, so match by the Japanese name when you search.

Two formats beyond the single-bey products: Dual Packs bundle two beys, and the Xtreme Stadium is sold both alone (BX-10) and in entry sets. Each Takara Tomy product also carries a QR code that registers the bey in the BEYBLADE X app for Bey Points^[1] — a used bey’s code may already have been claimed, which matters only if you play the app.

Special codes, sets and stadiums

Three product types confuse first-time buyers. BX-00 / UX-00 is the code Takara Tomy uses for event, campaign and limited items rather than shelf products — the sweep had BX-00 Phoenix Feather and the BX-00 Cobalt Drake Metal Coat Blue, both above shelf price. Deck Sets bundle three beys with a launcher and a deck case for tournament play; UX-15 Shark Scale, UX-21 Hells Nether and CX-11 Emperor Might were all live. Random Booster Select (UX-16 Clock Mirage was the current one) is a blind booster drawn from a small pool. Stadiums: the BX-10 Xtreme Stadium is the standard, the BX-37 Double Xtreme Stadium the two-lane version. Launchers and string launchers, deck cases and rare Blades such as Aero Pegasus round out what sells loose. “Kaitori” in a Japanese listing means buyback — Suruga-ya’s stock is exactly that.

Two things the Japanese market does not have: bootlegs from a licensed source (fakes are an AliExpress and street-market problem; check the Takara Tomy logo and QR sticker) and a “Japan vs Asia” split in the product itself — Takara Tomy Asia releases carry multilingual packaging but the same beys. Left-spin Blades, meta combo lists and tournament rulings are community territory; the parts, ratchets and bits themselves are what you buy here.

Why buy Beyblade X from Japan

Three reasons, in order. First, release timing: Takara Tomy launches in Japan, and Hasbro’s international versions follow later with different naming and sometimes different parts. Second, the Japanese market has the confirmed rares: opened Random Booster pulls, event-limited colours and app-campaign drops circulate on Mercari and Yahoo Auctions and nowhere else. Third, price: domestic retail for a Starter is a fraction of what an overseas importer charges, and the used market is deep.

The one product to think twice about is the BX-10 Xtreme Stadium — not because of price, but because it is a large, light box that ships on volumetric weight. Our stadium guide works through the real landed cost. For the full buying process across Beyblade X and Burst, see how to buy cheap Beyblade from Japan.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between BX and UX Beyblades?

BX is the Basic Line, launched with the series in July 2023^[1]; UX is the Unique Line, for beys with non-standard gimmicks. Parts are interchangeable between the two. CX is a newer prefix with a different construction.

Do I need a Starter or a Booster?

A Starter if you have no launcher; a Booster once you do. The bey inside is the same quality either way.

What does 9-60GF mean?

Ratchet 9-60 (nine protrusions, 6.0 mm) and Bit GF (Gear Flat). It follows the Blade name, so “Phoenix Wing 9-60GF” is the full three-part specification.

Are Japanese Beyblade X and Hasbro Beyblade X the same?

Same system, different releases. Takara Tomy launches first in Japan; Hasbro versions arrive later under different names and are not always identical in parts or finish.

Where can I buy Beyblade X outside Japan?

Hasbro versions reach chain stores and Amazon in most countries, later and under different names. The Takara Tomy originals, Random Booster rares and Japan-only colours are Japan-market and reach overseas buyers through resale.

What is Xtreme Dash?

The series gimmick: a gear on the Bit engages the stadium’s Xtreme Line rail for a burst of acceleration^[1]. It is why the official stadium matters more in X than in previous generations.
