How To Know What Bakugan Toys You Need

It would seem that toy manufacturers are always coming out with some new toy and those of us shopping for them are in the dark. If you have a child that is into Bakugan toys then you may need a bit of help in knowing what to buy. My son helped me put together this information so I would know as well.

First a little general information may be of help. Bakugan toys are collectables that can be used to battle other children. They come in all shape and colors and they have cards to go with them. The cards are as important, if not more important, than the actual Bakugan. The cards determine special abilities and attributes that can raise the power of the Bakugan which will determine the winner. Bakugan are magnetic and open when in contact with metal.

These are usually found in any major toy store or you can buy them online as well. The price varies according to exactly what you want to get. Duplicates are sometimes helpful because they may have different point values but you may want to check their collection before buying any.

They have regular and trap Bakugan as well. The regular usually look like a ball when unopened where as the trap Bakugan come in a variety of shapes. They will need some of both types if they want to do battle with them. You can distinguish the trap Bakugan by the package; it will say trap on the front.

Most Bakugan battles will consist of 3 regular Bakugan and 1 trap Bakugan. This means they will need several and of course they won’t want to use the same ones for every battle. A starter set has 6 Bakugan but no trap Bakugan. If you go with this then I would recommend getting at least one single pack of trap Bakugan as well. The bakusphere does come with 1 trap Bakugan though and 2 regular Bakugan. It holds 8 and acts as a carrying case for the toys themselves and the cards.

They also have a tin available which holds 18 Bakugan. The tin comes with 2 and cards as well. You can buy separate carrying cases to hold them that do not come with any of the toys. If they have a lot then they will need a carrying case to help keep from losing them.

There are also 2 new sets out that don’t come with a case. One of them comes with 7 regular and the other with 1 regular and 6 trap. You may ask the child you are shopping for what they are most in need of if they already have a lot.

The cards used for this are found in the sets and sold separately. The game itself can be changed up a lot even using the same Bakugan by using different cards during play. They will want quite a few of these to go with each Bakugan in their collection.

This can get to be quite expensive as a hobby and to get them all may take several years. I would advise starting slow and building over time. If your child wants to collect these it can be a great hobby. Mine loves Bakugan toys and they are definitely on his Christmas list.
