How the set is built
The numbering walks team by team: a team card, then each member's character card followed by that member's bit-beast card. The Bladebreakers, White Tigers, All Starz, Majestics and Demolition Boys fill numbers 2 to 47. Numbers 48 to 69 are the tops, each printed with a type and three figures for attack, defence and endurance that add up to a total rating. Two stadium cards and a checklist close the set, and an introduction card opens it.
The character backs carry a short profile, the bit-beast backs list the Beyblades and special attacks that beast appears with, and the team backs pair each member with a bit-beast. We summarise those in our own words on each card page; the printed text stays on the card. The pack held 5 cards plus 1 parallel foil card per pack, and a box held thirty-six packs. A mini-album with plastic pocket pages and a separately sold four-pocket portfolio were the storage items.

The five promos
Handed out at a UK convention rather than packed, which makes them the hardest part of the set to find.
Where this data comes from
The checklist was cross-checked between two collector databases and the cards themselves; where they disagreed, the card won (card 54 reads Galeon Attacker, not Seaborg, as one list has it). The ratings on the tops come from the printed backs. Photographs: 77 of 72 cards, the site's copies.
