Restored faith
This company really surprised me: When, at first, I had a complaint about my order, they immediately responded and sent a replacement order without a return request for my previous order. Instead they asked that I donate the previous order to charity. I was pleased with the promptness of their response to my complaint, their immediate action to rectify the situation and their social responsibility in their request to donate the unwanted item to charity. They are an exemplary company in my book.

We use these as train table accessories...
...and they are working out great with our Thomas Layouts. Melissa & Doug products continue to impress me with their high quality and typically provide great educational value. These are educational and your children will learn things like Police Station, Fire Station, Hospital, School, Town Hall, Grocery Store, and Post Office. There are several different shapes too, including squares, rectangles, triangle, and the various signs. The buildings and most of the roof pieces only have the building design on one side. The trees, ambulance, fire truck, and mail truck are large and double sided. The various street signs, and passenger cars are a little small, and as the box states ages 3+ and up, I would consider these smaller pieces a choking hazard. The larger pieces are enjoyed by both my 1 yr old and my 3 yr old. The rectangles are the largest piece in the set and measure 4 3/4 by 2 1/4" approx. Squares are roughly 2 1/4 x 2 1/4". These blocks are not as heavy as I expected, but still nicely made, and bright colorful additions to playsets like Thomas/Brio train sets. If your children don't insist on the real thing, this is a great way to save some money and still buy a quality product.
The only drawback is the wooden storage box doesn't come with a sliding plexi cover like the Melissa & Doug pizza set or beading set does. That would be really nice for storage and secure those little pieces that we don't use.

Battles Just Like the Television Show
Based on the popular anime TV series, fans will get a thrill by being able to mimic their favorite characters on the show. The object of Bakugan is to capture your opponents gate cards or defeat his Bakugan. You do this by rolling your Bakugan Warriors, in marble form, into the battle area filled with magnetic cards. If you roll your marble correctly, it'll open up into a fearsome monster.

Now, with the added control of the Hand Launcher, you'll have an advantage over the competition by being able to shoot with more precision, and do advanced shots like side spins, curved shots, back spins, and more. With some practice, your opponent won't stand a chance.

From the Manufacturer
A new launcher that will bring your Bakugan battles to a new level of play. Get the upper hand in battle. Launch awesome backspins, sidespins and other advanced shots depending on what direction you want the ball to go. Control your Bakugan with the technique of a true master brawler.

Bakugan balls
I found that the toy cost more than it is worth and was very frustrated that no toy stores stock them. More frustrating is the look of dissappointment on my grandson's face as we went to 4 different stores looking for them. But as usual Amazon.com came through although they didn't sell them directly I was able to secure them.
If not for the kiddies I would strongly suggest to all parents and grandparents to boycot the toys when they actually come out in the stores. It's amazing that such effort goes into advertising them but nobody has them in stock.

My son still loves his Bakugan
We got the red pack first (one broke), then the blue pack, and for the green pack I made my son 'work' for it ($1 for doing homework without complaining, etc.). He was diligent and relentless! He has had the green pack now for about a month and still loves all his Bakugan. Considering how much you can pay for a toy that rarely gets used, these are worth the money. Also, although one did break early on, none of the others have, and at this point they have been tossed into the backpack and thrown around a LOT. So I think overall they're pretty sturdy. Definitely a winner of a toy for us!

Bakugan for older than 8 years
My 9 year grand son has now graduated from Pokemon to Bakugan. He loves them and plays with his friends. They all have them, also. Whenever I ask him what he wants from me, it is always a new Bakugan Pack, so I guess it is a fun toy.

Nice collector's case
This tin contains 18 bins for your Bakugan and a slot for the metal cards and ability cards. The tin comes with 5 ability cards and 5 metal cards. There are two special Pearl Bakugan that accompany this set.

The bins are actually 2 soft plastic trays that are not too durable. However, if your child can be careful, this tray will have some reasonable durability. It's a snug fit to put the cards in so be careful.

Overall, the concept of carrying cards and the figures in one case with 2 bonus figures and 10 cards is a good value for retail price of $20.

If you can find it, at the price I paid, it's a good value.

Bakugan great fun but expensive
Because the Bakugan toys are in such demand, the prices have gone up. My 11 and 9 yr old sons love the Bakugan brawlers. They want as many as possible, plus the accessories, for Christmas. I was able to find the Bakutins for $19.99 at Target. What a find!

The Big New Toy!
These things are impossible to find in stores! The first Bakugan my grandson opened, he got a bit excited and tried to close it without properly folding it in. It snapped apart. He learned fast! Since he now takes the time to close them properly, he's had no trouble. Once I started getting a few in the mail, it looked like I was receiving all the same "marbles," but once the Bakugan are opened (on the metal card), I was able to see each one was very different. So far, no two alike!

Bakugan-Mania
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.

bakugan starter pack black
I bought this for my son's 7th birthday. He loves it, put one of the bakugan balls broke already. It still gives him hours of entertainment.

Sylvia
These Bakugan balls are the latest craze. My boys won't put them down! Just beware of all of the commands that come with the play. Your whole house will be filled with..."Bakugan Brawl...Bakugan Stand". Have fun!

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.

Too expensive
Is it my imagination, or are these toys jacked up by at least $20. I use to buy these for less than $10. We should call the manufacturer about this.

WARNING: i have ordered this product twice and have never recieved the right color

we think when it says GBL, it might mean the color of the bakugan may vary.

other than that, my kids love it!!

Bakugan purchase
Must have for grandson. As adults we feel the 24dollars is kinda pricey for such a small toy, and the pieces are so small as to be easy to lose. Grandson does like the toy. The toy did arrtive in time frame (acrtually erlier than expected) and condition as promised. Would not be a good toy for smaller children and should not be left around "tasters" as parts are small and easy to get into a "taster' mouth.

I bought this for my grandson's 8th birthday last week and had never heard of this toy before. He told me what he would like a Bakugan Ball for his birthday, so I went on Amazon to find it. He loved it and was the first to get one of the bigger Bakugan Balls. All of his friends now want one! The product is the current rage for children, in this age group, or collectors. This would be a great addition to children that do not have one or to others that have the smaller Bakugan balls. The seller sent this to my grandson right on time, as I requested. I would purchase a product from this seller again. (Five Stars)

Bakugan Brawl!
My son purchased one for himself and for his cousin with gift cards from his birthday party. We went to the playground and all the children were following them around to see the "Big Bakugans". They were a big hit! I found out from the other parents that they were really hard to find, and all the kids wanted them!! My son and my nephew love Bakugan.

Necessary for organizing those little balls!
I bought this for my son as a way to organize his Bakugan. It was such a good way to organize them, I bought him another one. It is durable and rotates in to hold the Bakugan inside. It is easy to remove them. We had originally stored the Bakugan in a Tupperware box, but they kept popping open. With this holder, they stay closed in a ball, thus less chance of damaging one during transport.

One note: this does not hold the new larger special Bakugan, only the smaller, regular ones. The only thing I could wish for is a place to also hold the cards. We still need a separate container for those.

Pleased with merchandise
Grandson saw picture of and said oh Grandma I wish I could have this. Little did he know I had already purchased it from Amazon.com

Bakurack is a must for Bakugan fans!
My kids have about 50 Bakugan, and the Bakurack is great for keeping them all contained. Not only does it protect the precious and VERY expensive little toys, it also helps save Mom's sanity by preventing these small toys from getting lost in the couch/car/bed/etc. No more complaints about lost Bakugan! Very durable and easy to use, even for small hands.

My only wish is that it held more than 15 Bakugans, so if you have more than 15, you will need more than 1 Bakurack.

Bakugans are great toys for kids about 5 & up, this Bakurack is no exception! 5 stars!

Product Description

Kids can now store their Bakugan Battle Brawlers in this storage rack. This rack comes with 5 detachable orange Bakuclips. Makes cleaning up easy after play time.
