 Bakugan-Mania Oct 18, 2008
By Eagle Vision
MODERN DAY GAME OF MARBLES
The Bakugan-Mania is here. I had no idea what my daughter was talking about since she spoke a mile-a-minute about what the latest craze in children's toys. These items are in extremely high demand and are similar in genre to Pokemon cards, Yu-Gi-Yo, and Digimon. The characters appear to be a spin off from Japanese anime, in my perception.
What are Bakugan?
They are action figures that are morphed from small plastic marbles, based upon a television show on the Cartoon Network. Each figure comes with a metallic card that has a point value. A point value is also imprinted on the figure.
A magnetic lock in the toy is triggered to open when the figure is placed onto a metallic game card.
How do you play the game?
Each player starts out with 3 Bakugan and 3 cards. Only one care can be a special ability card. The youngest player starts. Depending upon how many players are participating (2-4), determines where the cards are placed in the arena. When a Bakugan is rolled and lands on a card, it opens.
If the Bakugan does not open, the player loses a turn.
If 2 figures land on the same card, a point total is taken to count up the power value of the Bakugan + the value of the card. The higher sum wins the card and the figure. At the end of the round, the highest total of points wins the game.
My daughter's after-school care has an Bakugan Class where children play in the afternoon. She is 7 years old but her friends who have it range from 6 to 10 years old.
This game represents a unique and revolutionary spin on the game of playing marbles. It is quite creative and superficially complex to play. However, many children are compelled to play it all over the country.
Educational value
Strangely, enough, this toy has an ACTUAL educational value by requiring the players to add up or subtract the values of each figure/card.
Safety and Caveats
Since these are essentially small marbles, caution should be exercised if you child has small siblings who may try to swallow this toy. It is too big to fit into someone's ear or nose; however the danger is accidentally swallowing it or aspiration (going into the child's airway). You should also be aware if you have pets since it may lead to a dangerous bowel obstruction if ingested/eaten by your pet.
Durability
These are relatively fragile items that require users to be careful with the moving parts. Sometimes, the mechanisms are defected or through wear and tear may not allow the action figure to open or close.
Conclusion
This toy system is, for now, one of the hottest items in the toy world. If you are actually lucky enough to find it, or willing to pay the premium, then you should strongly consider getting it. Your child will be extremely happy.

Creative and challenging fighting cards Jun 04, 2008
By Servant
"Faith4UsAll"
My son loves these toys, they are creative, insightful and challenging to create various fighting scenarios. These toys add an exra dimension from most card playing games since there is the physical battle that takes place (rolling the bakugan, finding the bakugans strengths and weaknesses via the card, etc.) I recommend purchasing the arena after your child has several bugugans. I like the way the magnet causes the toys to expand. Very creative and fun!

 Kids Love It May 14, 2008
By D. Burke
We looked all over town for the Bakugan starter set and didn't have much luck. My son, who is 7, loves the starter set that we purchased and so does the rest of the neighborhood kids. I don't feel the need to purchase any of the other items, but he is enjoying the one that we got. We used the magnetic aspect of the Bakugans as a teaching moment to explain a little about magnetism. He thought that was pretty cool.

Do price comparisons! Dec 08, 2008
By OC Mom
This is a great toy, but make sure to do your price comparisons on Bakugan items. Some of the items being sold by other sellers here on Amazon are over 300% more than the prices at other outlets.

My son loves his Bakugan Sep 06, 2008
By Book-loving mom
My son has been playing non-stop with his Bakugan since they arrived. Unfortunately, one broke rather shortly after we got it. He was devastated! Fortunately, I was able to GLUE it! He has been playing with them all (got Blue starter pack a few weeks later) and no more have broken, despite constant use and handling.
