Amazon.com Review
The Bakugan Launcher is an optional accessory that adds excitement to the game Bakugan Battle Brawlers. Based on the popular and fun anime TV series of the same name, this strategic game that pits a variety of “Bakugan warriors” against each other for points. Kids ages four and above will love using the launcher to help them score points by shooting their Bakugan warriors onto magnetic cards, where the plastic spheres burst open to reveal the fearsome warrior apparatus inside. It’s the same launcher used by “Dan,” the hero of the TV show, so fans of the show will get a special thrill from using it!

Bakugan Launcher!
This Bakugan Launcher is the exact same one that Dan uses, so it makes this cool! That’s beside the point. According to my son the launcher is awesome! There are only two drags about this toy. One, you can only have 2 Bakugan in the launcher at one time. Two, it takes forever to launch a Bakugan! First, you have to open the Bakugan holders, take the Bakugan out, put it in the launching part, set the way you want your Bakugan to shoot out, and finally pull back the trigger and launch your Bakugan! Overall this is just anccessorie, you don’t need this to play the game. But it does make the game more fun!

Amazon.com Review
The popular and fun anime TV series “Bakugan Battle Brawlers” has spawned this strategic game that pits a variety of “Bakugan warriors” — such as “Juggernoids,” “Fear rippers,” and “Robatallians” — against each other for points. With this Bakugan Starter Pack, kids 4 and above will enjoy the challenge of earning points by rolling their Bakugan (or shooting them from a launcher) onto magnetic cards where the plastic spheres burst open to reveal the fearsome warrior apparatus inside. Kids will also love the way the Bakugan transform suddenly into warrior mode, and fans of the show will have an especially good time with the game.

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.

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.

Not really a variety
The toys themselves are great, the only issue I’ve had is the “selection”. It says styles and colors vary, but I’ve ordered 6 of these sets and every single one of them has been red, no other colors. So if your child is just starting out, this would be ok, but if they are trying to expand their collection, I’d be wary of ordering this.

Great toy, but overpriced here
My son has the 7 in 1 Drago trap set, and wanted this as well. They are both great toys, but you are paying 2/3 more from this site! I bought mine at Toys-R-Us as it just came back into stock, but they are out of both of these at our SuperTarget. If you have a kiddo who likes Transformers, but LOVES Bakugan, this is a great toy, since it is both. AND they can brawl with the traps seperately. Happy shopping.

Shop around
My son wanted this bakugan badly. I was not going to pay the amount shown on this website for the toy. It sold out quickly on-line at Toys R Us. But I waited a couple of weeks and its now available in Toys R Us stores for [...]. Good toy, but it can be sold way overprice
