How To Understand What Bakugan Toys You Need

By Nick Cantos

If you have a little boy to shop for then they may want toys you have never heard of before. Bakugan toys may fall into this category. I had my son help me put together this article to tell you everything you may need to know about Bakugan toys so that you will better know what to look for and buy.

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.

Bakugan are usually divided into to categories: normal and trap. To actually battle with them they will need both types. The package will state if it is a trap Bakugan and these are usually in odd shapes whereas the regular Bakugan tend to be a ball. Duplicates in the trap Bakugan are alright as well.

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.

The tin comes with 2 regular Bakugan and no trap Bakugan. This will hold 18 Bakugan and cards as well. They also sell carrying cases that do not come with any Bakugan for easy storage and to carry with them. These are good if they have a lot of them and need a place to keep them safe.

They have two new sets out just in time for Christmas. One comes with 1 regular and 6 trap and the other set is all regular. This is what is on my sons Christmas list.

The cards for this game come with the sets or are sold separately. As I mentioned before, these are very important and maybe even more important to have a large assortment of these then the toys themselves. As for the toys, they seem to be never ending. You have some that are rare and you have some that are very large. The regular, normal sized Bakugan are the ones most played with.

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. - 31409
