Introduction
You've got a ever growing collection of beys. Now where do you put them?
It sounds like a simple question, and it can be but some people get overwhelmed with the amount of choices there are! And if you are digging through a bag of stuff mid-tournament while your opponent is already set up, you won't be in the right head space for your next match. Having the right deck box and storage case keeps your collection protected, organized, and ready to battle.
Here's exactly what to look for and how to match the right deck box to how you play.
Step 1: How many beys do you plan to bring to the tournament?
Start with capacity. Deck boxes come in different sizes, while the most common deck box is a set of 3 beys (which is the tournament standard). There are also larger deck boxes that hold up to 6 beys! These are selected for a variety of reasons, the most common one is the emerging Pokemon Format that some tournaments will do!
- 3 beys: Most standard deck boxes will work perfectly If you want something small easy to carry and that will fit in a backpack or jacket pocket. Then you will want to look at the Pocket Deck Box, the Mini Pocket Deck Box, or Pocket Clam Shell Deck Box as these will be your best options!
- Up to 6 beys: Right now there's few deck boxes that hold this many beys, one of them being the Pocket XL Deck Box. More are in the works and will be released later this year!
- 12+ beys: If you are planning on bringing all or most of your collection to the tournament. Then you will want to get a storage solution that has a lot of compartments. I personally like the ones where the compartments are modular/removable so I can adjust it to how I want each section. These can be found at local retailer store like Michaels, Target, or Walmart.
For most players especially those just building their collection a compact, well-designed single deck box is the right starting point.
Step 2: Casual Player vs. Tournament Player
How you use your beys should drive what you buy.
Casual / at home player:
The casual at home players usually don't go to many tournaments and like to just play with friends and/or family. This type of player won't need anything crazy or extravagant for a deck box. Some key features to look for are:
- Portability matters most
- Nothing overly complicated or bulky
- You want something grab-and-go that fits in a bag
Tournament / competitive player:
The competitive players look for something that will fit their needs when at their regular tournament. Quick access between matches is critical! You don't want to fumble around before the start of a match. Some key features to look for are:
- Organization helps you swap combos fast
- Versatility to be able to adapt to your ever changing play style
- Durability matters as tournament bags take a beating
The Slam Shell Deck Box is designed with both in mind! It's compact enough for casual carry, structured enough for competitive use.
Step 3: Our Pick for Every Player Type
Best for beginners: Pocket Deck Box — compact, protective, and purpose-built for Beyblade X. It's the easiest way to protect your first beys without over complicating your setup.
Best for competitive players: Slam Shell Deck Box — the Slam Shell's quick-access design and extra storage for bits, ratchets, and more. If you are a ripcord player, this also helps straighten out your ripcord when not in use!
Best grip upgrade to pair with it: Slip Grip — once your storage is sorted, your launcher is the next upgrade that makes a real difference.
The Bottom Line
Don't overthink it but don't skip it either. A deck box is one of those purchases you'll be glad you made early. Your beys are precision parts; treat them like it. And as your collection grows, make sure to get a storage case that fits your style!
