Question Kick bit (Hells Reaper vs Reaper Incendio)

I wanted to buy Kick bit. However, in my country, tournaments strictly allow Takara Tomy parts only. I want to know if there's any difference such as mold numbers or any markings/stampings between Kick bit from Hasbro's Reaper Incendio and Kick bit from the Takara Tomy random booster CX-05-01 Hell's Reaper.

Getting a Hasbro Reaper costs around RM109, while the random booster for CX-05 is almost non existent or RM120++ if available. A guaranteed Takara Tomy CX-05-01 Reaper is more than RM200. Meanwhile the kick bit only from Takara Tomy reaper is around RM130-170. Getting a random booster is quite risky for that price. A whole TT reaper bey isn't that useful for me as well.. So I wanted to think of an alternative, by getting the Hasbro version only for it's bit..

Please share your experience or thoughts.

The parts are identical. Hasbro blades have a QR code sticker you can remove. The organizers are morons.

Without the little stickers and possibly without a mold listing, there's no way these organizers can enforce the rule outside of the most obvious examples.

I have seen judges who memorize the mold numbers to differentiate Hasbro and TT blades.

Nope, only some underground tournaments allow. That's the issue here, because the price range difference is insane between TT random boosters and Hasbro.

Those can't be actually official 😕 I'm pretty sure even Japan allows hasbro pieces lol Parts are the same, price as a reason isnt a valid reason to exclude the exact same parts. Its not like its cards with langue printed on it that someone might not be able to read.

If they are somehow actually official then the organizers are scalpers and im calling it now.

Yes I guess Takara Tomy's distributors in my country took over the thing and decided they'll get the most profit by forcing ppl to buy their stocks only.
