The Bakugan Battle Pack

The Bakugan Battle Pack - One Of The Top Toys Of 2009

Sometimes kids are the hardest ones to please when we are buying Christmas presents. It seems that because the holiday is geared so much toward children, and because of the huge range of choices out there during this time of year, they should be the easiest ones.

But it is because of these factors which can make shopping for the youngsters a time consuming, brain-numbing chore. Which one of the thousands of toys is he or she into this year? Unless we are hip to all the current trends, which can change in the blink of an eye, it can be very tough to know. Luckily along comes the Bakugan Battle Pack to the rescue.

Based on the incredibly popular Cartoon Network television anime series "Bakugan Battle Brawlers," the Bakugan Battle Pack will keep the kids completely entertained for hours with Bakugan warriors such as the "Fear Rippers," "Juggernoids," and "Robatallians."

Obviously followers of the TV series will immediately adore the game, but those unfamiliar with the show will find themselves drawn into the storylines, characters and world of the Bakugan Brawlers.

This two-player game will improve the child's strategic skills because it makes them determine where to place the Gate cards. It will also test hand-eye coordination and game skills through the practice of aiming the Bakugan. Parents will also love to know that the Bakugan pack is on the Toy Retailers Association's official UK list of top toys Christmas 2009.

The Bakugan Battle Pack comes with action figure warriors tucked inside plastic spheres which pop open when rolled or shot from a launcher onto the magnetic Gate cards. The game starts with each player having a team of three Bakugan warriors. The object is to amass points by making the Bakugan land on a Gate card. To win, be the first player to capture and collect three Gate cards.

The pack includes six metal Gate cards, six randomly selected Bakugan warriors, six Ability cards and a book of rules. Anyone with children younger than the age of 3 need to be advised that the Bakugan Battle Pack contains small parts and is therefore a choking hazard. Some accessories that will improve the game playing experience are Bakugan Traps, Bakugan Launchers, Bakugan Starter Packs and Character Packs, which are each sold separately.

Now is the time to start shopping for what is sure to be one of the most popular toys Christmas 2009 and this economical item will sell out fast. Make sure to check online retailers for the best selection and the best price. eBay is another excellent option.
