Product Description: Bakugan, the ultimate Battle battle game. Now you can own your own Battle Launcher to launch monsters and win the game. The story of Bakugan- One day, cards began to fall from the sky and were picked up by kids all over the world. The cards featured different characters, different environments, and different powers. Kids created a popular battle game not knowing that these cards actually corresponded to an alternate world called Vestroia. In Vestroia, a rogue Bakugan named Naga lusted for control, and schemed to seize all of the power for himself. When he tried to absorb the silent core and seize its power, the negative energy proved too much for Naga to handle. The negative energy exploded and the Infinity Core fell to earth. The creatures of Vestroia started to emerge in Bakugan battles. Now it is up to Dan and the other Battle Brawlers to find the Infinity Core and reunite it with the Silent Core to restore balance. At the same time, an evil Bakugan player called Masquerade is taking away Bakugan that belong to other people. As well, a scientist called Michael Gehahbich disappeared into Vestroia. When he returned 6 months later, he came back as a creature known as Hal-G, half Bakugan-half human. Hal-G is plotting to reunite Naga with the Infinity Core to take over the world. Dan and his friends must stop Hal-G's evil plans and Masquerade.
Amazon.com Review: The Bakugan Launcher is an optional accessory that adds excitement to the game Bakugan Battle Brawlers. Based on the popular and fun anime TV series of the same name, this strategic game that pits a variety of "Bakugan warriors" against each other for points. Kids ages four and above will love using the launcher to help them score points by shooting their Bakugan warriors onto magnetic cards, where the plastic spheres burst open to reveal the fearsome warrior apparatus inside. It's the same launcher used by "Dan," the hero of the TV show, so fans of the show will get a special thrill from using it!
The Bakugan Launcher sends your Bakugan flying with three shooting modes.
There are many colors and varieties of Bakugan to collect.

At a Glance
Ages: 6 to 12
NOTE: The Bakugan Launcher includes a single launcher with a wrist strap. Bakugan warriors are sold separately.
Ready, Aim, Fire! There are no instructions with the optional Bakugan Launcher, which is made of sturdy, lightweight plastic. But it's a straightforward accessory: simply load the Bakugan and fire away! There are two additional Bakugan compartments on either side of the launcher. The wrist strap is a great accessory that your child can use to help steady the launcher as he fires.
Exciting Magnetic Action The Bakugan Launcher has three shooting modes ("curve," "angle, and "distance"). It holds three Bakugan, and straps to your child's wrist -- just like Dan's! Though kids can roll the Bakugan just like marbles, the Launcher adds an element of excitement to their Bakugan battles.
Room for the Imagination Though we thought the launcher was a great accessory, but our attempts to fire it proved somewhat difficult. Instructions would have helped. If you and your child can figure it out how to fire it effectively -- especially how to use the three shooting modes -- the launcher is sure to increase their enjoyment of the game and add variety to their play.
Bakugan Launcher First of all, this launcher is a cheap piece of plastic. I bought it, and it costed 10 bucks. It is a rip-off. The spring is only like...less than an inch long. It dose'nt go very far, and for half of the time, the Bakugan dosent even stand! It is far better to flick or roll it with your finger. The door hinges which you store the Bakugan break easily, and the wrist strap is basically useless, as I would perfer to launch it from the floor. After buying this product, I constructed my own launcher from a cardboard paper towel roll, a rolled up piece of paper, and a single rubber band. Miraculously, it even works better.
BAKUGON LAUNCHER THIS TOY IS A RIP OFF SO DONT BUY IT OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MONEY. I AM 8 YEARS OLD AND IT DID TAKE MY MONEY. IF IT LOOKS COOL STILL DONT BUY IT BECAUSE IT JUST WANTS YOUR MONEY. IT WILL UPSET YOUR CHILDREN. AND I AM REALLY MAD.
ONLY FOR SMALL BAKUGAN!!! This is a TERRIBLE toy. My son spent his birthday gift certificate to buy this toy...unfortunately, NONE of his Bakugan will fit into this launcher. There is NO way to tell this from the packaging, nor is there any warning (I didn't even know there were different sizes of Bakugan until now). There must be a slightly smaller size (not noticable by my eye) Bakugan that this toy is used for. What a terrible company to do this to their customers...we bought a starter kit plus a couple extra packages of Bakugan over the past few months - they are all the same size and fit in the Bakugan carrier that I bought for them perfectly, but now I know there is a small size out there. somewhere.
launcher brawlwrs i bought bakugan lancher,but to my surprise the brawlers that came with starter pack are bigger size (B2)and won't fit in the launcher.launcher says it is only for original size. as a buyer how do i know which are the original size or smaller balls. i try to find the balls that fit on this on your site and other sitesbut my effort was unsucces except i came to know that it needs different brawlers . it doesn't make sense of selling that kind of products which makes customer unhappy and having harder time to find the balls. during checkout process there is no recommendation for bying required size balls for the launcher. i am still looking for b1 or small brawlers whichever good for this launcher. i appreciate your feedbck to my email [...].Bakugan Launcher
Mad Santa Bought this for my son at Christmas. I thought it was broke the first time we tried to use it, then when we got the second one I realized that it's just a piece of junk!!!
