Bakugan Bakupearl B2 Sub Terra Hammer Gorem LOOSE 480 G Brown

IS THIS A TOY? IS IT SOMETHING AN 8 YEAR OLD BOY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN?

A: Bakugan Battle Brawlers are indeed, the newest craze for 8-12 year olds. Think Pokemon and Transformers on steroids with jetpacks and you get the idea. The game is promoted by the cartoon series, and unlike other game/cartoon tie-ups, the Bakugan game actually plays a lot like what it looks like in the cartoon. It's no surprise it appeals.

Anyway, the game itself is all about playing for metal gate cards. When you roll a Bakugan marble onto these cards, they open to reveal the battling beast inside the marble. There's a lot of math involved (you have to add up fast) to figure out who has the higher G power and to the victor goes the metal gate card.

Here's a blog article from a blog written for grown-ups and parents who want to buy bakugan toys for their kids. It tells you all you need to know about the game http://www.buybakugantoysonline.com/buy-bakugan/what-is-bakugan-and-why-are-my-kids-crazy-about-it
