Do you know what is guaranteed to be at the top of every kids Christmas list this year? Bakugan Toys! Yes there is a new toy craze in town and every kid from here to the Philippines wants it! Bakugan mania is in full storm in the US! Toys R Us can’t keep these toys in stock, they sell out as fast as they are putting them on the shelves. There are national tournaments being hosted by Toys R US, and Activison has even signed on to make a Bakugan Video Game.

But what exactly are these popular Bakugan Brawlers and why are they so popular?

Remember when you were a kid and you had the biggest collection of marbles in your neighborhood? Well, imagine if those marbles transformed into robots and monsters when you rolled them, springing to action with hidden magnets when they hit the field? That’s pretty much what you get with Bakugan, it’s a new spin on a classic game. Bakugan the 21st century marbles. The game itself comes from the Japanese Anime cartoon called Bakugan Battle Brawlers. First aired in 2007 it was a wild success. In fact it has been signed on for a new season called “New Vestroia.” In the show, the main characters and their Bakugan buddies battle to protect the Earth from the evil Naga who wants the ultimate power and control of two universes.

The characters play the game by throwing down their cards and letting their Bakugan balls do the talking. The monsters within are released, and the most powerful Bakugan wins the battle.

Every year it seems like there is a new popular cartoon-made-into-a-game. Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon, and the list goes on. This year promises to take that to a new level. Not only do kids get to play with the cards, they have the Bakugan Spheres as well to play with. When the spheres hit the magnetic cards they pop open revealing what is inside. The players can use their ability cards to boost the Bakugan’s ‘G power’ and the strongest one wins the match.

The game itself is simple enough for your younger ones to play, but also has enough complexities to keep the older ones entertained for hours. It’s also a great way to help your kids learn math. With two levels of strategy, not just your cards but also rolling your spheres, there is enough here to captivate parents as well. Although be sure you don’t let your kids know!

Bakugan are guaranteed to be super popular this year, Toys R Us is having a difficult time keeping them in stock and many are being sold for much more than market price. It will just get more expensive as time goes on, so score yours today and save!
