The next phase of Bakugan
By slim
My child received this for their 7th birthday and loved it! However, they love all the Bakugan stuff, so that's not so surprising. That this can be connected to make one big toy is pretty cool, and more single Bakugan balls are coming out that can connect to these also. Bakugan is doing a good job of keeping their ideas fresh, and creative. We don't watch the cartoons, as they are too mean-spirited. The toys by themselves are fine though.
The price point on this is a tad high, which means it ends up being a "special" gift, and not an every day one, so they aren't selling very many. It's obvious a lot of thought and skill goes into creating these plastic balls that "transform" instantly into creatures (when put on any metal surface.
They have already designed more of these- the next one being silver or gray or something.

For the Ultimate Bakugan Fan
By Eagle Vision
This is a 7piece toy comprised of 6 Bakugan Traps and 1 Bakugan Figure. The set is composed of the figures, as well as the Gate Card and Special Ability Card. My daughter has numerous Battle Packs, traps, Bakugan Deka, the arena, the launcher and Bakugan Gauntlet (in addition to the Bakugan DS game).
The toy comes in the box as separate figures and step by step instructions are necessary to aassemble the Maximus Dragonoid. Assembly took about 20 minutes, the first time. Instructions are only graphical drawings and not too easy to follow. Once assembled the figure is not as big as I had anticipated on the packaging. Personally, i was not impressed but my 9 year loves it. She likes the ability to use the traps when playing the Bakugan with her other Bakugan Figures.
As for an action set, I question the durability with non-game play (ie as standalone action figures) - given the spring loaded mechanisms and delicate small parts. I do not recommend this for households with children under 5 given the high choking potential. This set is more ideal for kids aged 7 and above - depending upon how gingerly or harsh your child plays with his or her toys.
For the price, this toy is a touch overpriced and I recommend waiting for a price drop by at least $5 to $10. However, the the unique nature of a modular toy, this set is amazing. I recommend this for the Ultimate Bakugan Fan and not for the casual gamer.
Despite its limitations, it is still a very good toy.

Hot, Hot, maybe not..
By N. Smith
We looked everywhere for this toy for my son's birthday. We could only find it on-line. Seems the stores are all sold out. It is the biggest deal in Bakugan right now. We were excited to get it, and I opened the packaging, since there are so many little rubber bands tio hold it in place. And that's where the problem started. The head piece has two shoulder wings, or something, that rotate in and out. They were set at opened in the package with tiny rubber bands holding each. After CAREFULLY removing the rubberbands, we start to assemble the pieces. The first thing to happen was one of those wings just fell off. Snapped rigth off. I was super careful taking it out of the package, asI saw potential for trouble, but no matter how careful I was, the stress on the tiny piece weakened it enough that the first time my son tried to fold it in, it snapped right off! Besides this overpackaging flaw, it is really fun. Yooou can play with them seperate, or assemble the biggest bakugan of all! It is smaller than the comercials make it appear, though, but the assembly takes some work and some figuring, and some patience, which I think is good. Just be so careful with those wing tips and all the rubber bands!
