Because of the huge variety of available Bakugan, it is easy for one to get confused. Kids are finicky – so it is best to ask them directly to narrow down which ones he or she wants. While all Bakugan players have the goal of winning on their mind, it is imperative to understand their desires.

Some have the object of showing off their Bakugan without playing. Many like to flaunt their goods to peers at school just like some like to flaunt their new gadgets or name brand apparel. High G-ratings are indicative of the strength of Bakugan when calculating the winner of a round. As a side note, do not be fooled by customized Bakugan that some sellers have modified and tricking buyers. These are not authentic and will be refused during regular game play. Generally, the higher the G-rating, the more powerful the Bakugan during battle. However, there are a few playable ability cards that will negate, diminish or alter the ratings.

Some have a favorite “attribute” of Bakugan which is represented by the color. These Bakugan are from the same planet and color in itself is a collectible interest.

  • Blue = Aquos
  • Green = Ventus
  • Black = Darkus
  • Red = Pyrus
  • Brown = Subterra
  • Grey = Haos

There are also a few other variations of “sub-colors” that are different shades of these colors, translucent, reversed, or a mixed of two different colors.

Some desire to collect based on the aesthetic quality of the Bakugan. Some will desire their favorite creature based on the cartoon itself, not factoring game play on the selection. Certain Bakugan have been priced up to $150!

Therefore, it is wise to ask your child to help narrow down the specific ones he or she wants:

  • What’s your favorite Bakugan?
  • Whats’ your favorite color (planet/attribute)?
  • What kind of G-powers are you looking for?
  • Are there specific Bakugan in mind (class)? (eg. Dragonoid, hydranoid, clayf etc..)

There has been a high demand and a lack of supply of Bakugan in retail stores. Individual Bakugan pieces have been sold up to $150-$200. There are a variety of online stores that sell them. However, most do not offer the best prices. One reputable large online toy store routinely marks their product up to 10 or more times the retail price. While, some are much more rare than others, it is better to acquire bargains with the widest array of Bakugan or bidding them at the lowest prices. Recent eBay searches have shown around 20,000 different auction or buy-it-now listings.

Feedback percentage is a measure of delivery time and customer service to measure the reliability of the seller. The higher percentage it is to the maximum number 100%, the more reliable and reputable the seller is. This system is designed for buyers to identify the authenticity of the seller to prevent from being scammed.

There are many different elements of the game. It is best to inquire your child's preferences and favorites and educate yourself with as much information as possible before you seek the best bargains available. Read our buying online guide here.
