Bakugan Battle Pack (Styles and Colors May Vary)

I am not sure about this toy, however, my son and his friends thinks they are great. I do like the magnetic mechanism which causes the figure to morph from a cynlinder into a creature...thats pretty cool. The only issue I have is with different dealers charging different prices for the same object. The company I used in conjuction with Amazon, seems to be the most fair ...and resonably priced (even lower than the major chains like ToysRus and Etoys).

My recommendation is...if you by Bakugan action figures, please forge ahead and purchase the holder as well. Its compact and can be dismantled to carry certain figures in a holder. Trust its better than finding yourself hurt due to one on the floor. ... Like I told my son, he is NOT getting the insurance money now! smile

Although the ad for the item states "styles and colors may vary," I did not expect to get "B2" Brawlers which are bigger/different from the regular Battle Brawlers. Because Amazon itself distinguishes between regular Bakugan and "B2" Bakugan, I thought I was safe ordering this item (that I would get the regular Battle Brawlers). Unfortunately, to an 8 yr. old boy, they are very different things. I am going to try and have the item replaced through Amazon Customer Service, but there is no way to know if I'll get what was advertised (and what my son wants).

My daughter is in 4th grade and this is "the most popular" item around. The kids trade them at school. Some of them look pretty interesting on how the open. They open when you place them on metal or on the magnetic card. I wouldn't call them very educational, although the kids do pay attention to how powerful the numbers are on them and they learn some basic engineering when unfolding them into the character.

I bought this toy for my son on November 28th. I got online this afternoon to check shipping status and thought I would read some of the reviews. I paid [...] for this exact toy on Nov. 28th with no shipping fees and here it is Mon. Dec. 1st. and the price is [...]. That is almost a [...] mark up in less than 3 days, all because it is supposed to be cyber monday! I am so glad I ordered mine for my son a little earlier instead of waiting thinking I could get it cheaper. What a rip off for those of you who must pay this price now!!!!!!!!!!

Amazone was prompt with their delivery and my grandson was very pleased with the package 5..stars
