Beyblade: Metal Masters (Collectors Edition - Target)

Target's exclusive take on the Beyblade: Metal Masters Collector's Edition for DS packed in the Nightmare Rex SW145SD Agito, a top whose name alone sounds like it was designed to intimidate other Beyblades on the shelf. This retailer-specific DS bundle gave Target shoppers their own reason to skip the standard release.

Metal Masters on DS plays through the anime's tournament storyline with enough depth to keep fans engaged and enough Beyblade customization to scratch that tinkering itch. The battles translate well to the handheld format. But the Nightmare Rex top is the reason this particular box matters to collectors. It's an aggressive-looking Beyblade with a name that practically sells itself, and the Target exclusivity means its retail window was narrow by design.

Retailer-exclusive game bundles from the DS era are a collector's puzzle. They weren't produced in massive quantities, they weren't preserved by the general market, and they definitely weren't treated as future collectibles at the time. The Target variant of Metal Masters sits in that quiet zone where Beyblade collectors, DS collectors, and retail variant hunters all overlap. If you're building a complete set of all four Metal Masters DS bundles, this is one of the four corners you need to lock down.
