Customer Reviews ::




Nice tool bench for budding carpenter - C. Sturm - N.A.
This was a nice work bench for our daughter who isn't terribly rough and tumble. The tools fit nicely with the bolts and screws and the nails need hammering. It isn't the most sturdy, so if your little person is more physical, he/she might make sawdust out of this workbench.

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 Battle 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.



Inside each plastic sphere is a fearsome warrior apparatus. View larger.

What We Think

Fun Factor:

Durability:

(what this means)

The Good: Wide variety of Bakugan make them fun for kids to trade and collect

The Bad: No instructions with some toys

In a Nutshell: Clever and exciting interactive game that kids will enjoy even if they're not familiar with the TV show
At a Glance

Ages: 4 and up
NOTE: The Bakugan Battle Pack includes a random selection of six Bakugan warriors. It also includes eight metal cards and instructions. It does not include the optional Bakugan Launcher.

Ready, Set, Play!
The mission of Bakugan game play is to battle against other Bakugan to win the points awarded on the cards by getting your Bakugan to land on card. Players will love pretending to be one of the various characters in the show, such as the fiery 12-year-old leader "Dan" or the wise "Marucho," and they gain a deeper understanding of the cards and warriors as they play.

The Battle Pack includes instructions, making it an ideal way for newbies to get started with this fun and exciting game. The game itself is fairly straightforward, but if your child has never played before, you might have to help him or her to understand the rules -- after reading and understanding them yourself. While some of the plastic Bakugan pieces are small and could easily get lost, others, like the Bakugan Deka, are as big as a softball.

If your child is already a Bakugan fan, the Battle Pack is a good investment. This set comes with six randomly selected Bakugan and eight magnetic cards. Your child will love how this set dramatically increases their collection of Bakugan! He or she can also use the Battle Pack to play with his friends who might not have any Bakugan of their own.

Exciting Magnetic Action
The Bakugan come in lots of colors and varieties that make them fun to collect and trade. Most of them are pocket-sized and easy for your child to carry around and bring over to their friend's houses. Having a magnet that activates the warriors is a clever idea that adds excitement to the game. The Bakugan Launcher (sold separately) is a great accessory, with three shooting modes ("curve," "angle, and "distance"), but it doesn't come with any instructions.

Room for the Imagination
We like that this that this game combines skill (aiming your Bakugan) with strategy (placement of the cards). We also enjoyed the way the warriors pop open on the magnetic cards -- although sometimes they do it even when they don't land on the cards. Being unfamiliar with the TV show, we felt a little lost at first in the world of Bakugan. But with the help of the colorful, animated Bakugan Web site, we got the gist of what the game is about and how to play. Our attempts to fire the launcher proved somewhat difficult and instructions would have helped. But the launcher isn't necessary. Kids can simply roll the Bakugan like marbles for a fun and action-packed game with their friends.


What's in the Box
Six Bakugan, eight metal cards, and instructions.

Great!!! - L. Benham -
I got this for my daughter for her second birthday. The colors are so bright and fun and the toy is all wooden so I know it's sturdy. She's had other lacing things before but what really helps her is the wooden rod at one end to help get it through the holes and then the wooden stopper at the other end so the little beads don't fall off. She loves this and she gets so excited when she gets them all on. She feels like it's a huge accomplishment. This is a great toy and I would recommend it to anyone!

What We Think

Fun Factor:

Durability:

At a Glance

Ages: 5 and up
NOTE: The SpinMaster Bakurack Bakugan Collector Case does not include any Bakugan warriors or the optional Bakugan Launcher. These items are sold separately.

Two-in-One Toy: Spinning Case and Detachable Clips
There are no instructions that come with the collector case, but the picture on the box -- featuring Dan with a Bakuclip strapped to his side -- is informative. Without it, you might not realize that the five clips can be taken out of the case and strapped to an item of clothing. To make the sturdy plastic case spin open or closed, you twist the handle at the top, which we found to be a nifty feature.

Safe and Sound Storage for Bakugan Warriors
Your child will enjoy storing their Bakugan in the case when they're not playing, and then detaching the clips for their Bakugan battles. Fans of the show will also like wearing the same kind of clips as their hero Dan!

The spinning case is a great way for kids to show off their Bakugan collection and to keep track of the pocket-size toys. It also offers a good way for your child to transport their Bakugan to their friends' houses. When the case is in its closed position, the Bakugan are designed to remain securely inside.

Spin Open, Spin Closed!
We especially like how the case spins open and closed in one quick motion. And we also like how the individual clips are detachable. Though it would be nice if the case came with instructions, the picture and description on the box helps, and the case itself is relatively self-explanatory. We think that fans of the game will love this way of storing and showing off their Bakugan, while also keeping them ready for Bakugan battles on the go!

Waste of money - C. Murphy - West Grove, PA
I bought this for my 6 year old son last Christmas and it is a waste of money. It does not hold all the different sizes of bakugans. We actually just put in the pile of toys to throw out.
