Bakugan News from Bakuganwiz.com Issue 10

Bakugan News: Well it has been a while since I have written a new issue of Andy's Bakuganwiz.com news like since March. OMG and I am sorry. I have been wrapped up in another project and it really dominated my time, mea culpa. So anyway here we go and with what's new at Bakuganwiz.com since my last newsletter.
Bakugan Prices Question: First of all I have a question for everyone. Do you think the prices of Bakugan have fallen? I really think the availability of the Bakugan in the stores and the shear quantity of different types of Bakugan has overwhelmed us all. Email me your comments please.
Bakugan Bronze Attack: I just added the Bakugan Bronze Attack to the site. They are really cool Bakugan that have Bronze colored features and the best part is that they have special abilities. This is a special edition from Wal-Mart stores.
Maxus Drago Combo: Have you seen the Bakugan Combiner or Combos. Maxus Drago is a 7 in 1 ultimate battle brawler. There an now 3 versions of the multi-figure combiners or combo. With some of the packs you combine up to 7 Bakugan into a monster battle brawler. The 3 versions of the combo Bakugans are the Maxus Drago, Meta Altair, and Meta Helios.



Bakusteel: I have added the special edition Bakusteel to the site. This is a limited edition only 1000 available. Get yours while they last. Along with the introduction of the Bakusteel version the brought out a new Bakugan the Moskeeto. A picture of Moskeeto is shown below. Moskeeto has now been added to the Bakuneon list page.


Bakugan Video Games: I think everyone has been waiting like forever for the Bakugan Video games to come up. The Bakugan video games are now available by pre-order only. Hopefully the Bakugan video games will get to the stores soon. Spin Master's needs to give the programming nerds more coffee or Red Bull or Monster or 5 hour energy or something so they can get the Bakugan Video Games done faster. The cool part is the Bakugan video games will be released in all formats including Nintendo Wii and DS, Playstation 2 & 3, and Xbox 360. It looks like we will have to wait until October to get a chance to play the game.


Bakuganwiz.com forum & message board: I have updated the Bakuganwiz.com's message board to a new forum site. We now have 38 members. This is a great way for you to get involved and contribute to the Bakuganwiz.com site. Post your pictures, ideas, and suggestions on how to make the Bakuganwiz.com site even better.

Bakuganwiz.com continues to grow. We now have over 1230 members to the site. The site is celebrated its 1 year birthday in May 2009.

Scorpion Trap, Tripod Epsilon, Pythantius (spelling), Carlsnault (spelling), Zoack (which was the first trap that is now for sale in the U.S


Bakuganwiz.com picture contest: I just finished the first Bakugan picture contest. There were 3 winners in the first contest. Connor, Ant, and John all won free Bakugan prizes. Pretty cool.

I will post them to the web and then we will vote on them. The winners will receive free Bakugan stuff!

Bakuganwiz.com: Andy' Bakugan News Issue 8 - Season 2 Bakugan

Well it has been a while since my last post which was on January 24, 2008. Happy Valentines day to everyone. I don't think they make chocolate Bakugan yet, do they? I am sure they will soon. This week has been an incredible week for new Bakugan toys news. Just amazing the amount of new stuff that has come out this week.

Free Bakugan Stuff: This weeks winner of the free Bakugan stuff is Garet. Make sure you tell your friends to register for Bakuganwiz.com free newsletter. You can't win if you are not getting the newsletter each week.

I was over at my cousins the other day and I was asking him if he saw the new updates to my website. He said your website never changes. I was kind of disappointed since it is updated and changes every week. So I have decided to add a what's new section to the home page so everyone can clearly see in a picture format some of the new product that has been added to Bakuganwiz.com. So here we go, here is what's new at Bakuganwiz.com.


Season 2 Bakugan: This week everyone started to discover the new Season 2 Bakugan. Previously we only had Bakugan Trap in our season 2 list. Now there at least six to eight additional Season 2 Bakugan out on the web. Not all of the names are known yet however, here are the names that we know so far, Klawger, Leefram, Scraper. The name of Season 2 Bakugan shown below is unknown. Make sure you visit the new Season 2 page and if you know the names of the rest of them please email me.






Bakugan spin: I have added some new pictures to the Spin Bakugan page. Also make sure you check out the cool video of the Bakugan Spin in action. Right now there are 2 Bakugan Spin the Spin Dragonoid and Spin Ravenoid. They are really pretty cool.

Dual Headed or 2 Sided Preyas:
Have you seen the new Dual Headed or Two Side Preyas. This is one of the coolest Bakugan ever. I have given Preyas is own page so make sure you check out the new two sided Preyas in the Preyas collection page.


Bakugan Games: I update the Bakugan Games page. There is a new Bakugan Board Game called Bakubrawl. This game looks like a combination of Stratego and Checkers or Chess.

Everything Bakugan Section:
The navigation on the website was getting a little unwheeledly so I split it up a little. I now have a new section called Everything Bakugan. Here you will find all of the extra Bakugan stuff that is not directly associated with playing the Bakugan game. Check it out and let me know what you think. They even came out with Bakugan Dinnerware.

Bakubox:
I have completely updated the Bakugan Case page. Here you will find all kinds of ways to display or carry your Bakugan collection around. There is a new Bakugan Dislay case that is really cool. You can buy a bunch of them and they connect together. It is a perfect way to display all of your Bakugan.

Bakugan Sleds: I recently discovered the new Bakugan sleds. They are really cool and if you still have snow where you live you might have some time riding your new Bakugan Sled.



Bakugan pictures: Of course as always I have updated the Bakugan picture page with all kinds of new Bakugan pictures.

Bakuganwiz.com: Andy' Bakugan News Issue 7

Hello Bakugan fans! Welcome to this weeks issue of Andy's Bakugan News from Bakuganwiz.com. It is still winter here. We keep getting more snow and it has been too cold most of the time to go out and enjoy it. This morning it is only 4 Degrees. On with this weeks Bakugan news. I have made a ton of updates to the site over the last two weeks so here they are.

Dragonoid spin: I have added Dragonoid Spin to the Bakugan list page. However I don't have one so I am not sure if I have the right picture or not. Please send me your pictures of Spin Bakugan and I will add them to the site. According to some sites when you put a spin Bakugan on the card it actually spins. Does anyone have a video of a Spin Bakugan in action that they could send me. Here is another picture that I found of a Spin Dragonoid.


Shopping update: The other day when I was shopping in Meijer's I always like to cruise through the toys section to see what new Bakugan toys they might have. Before I arrived at the toy section I stopped by the sports card section and noticed they had a huge number of imported Japanese Bakugan toys. These Bakugan seemed a little smaller so I am guessing they were B1 series vs the new bigger B2 Bakugan. They also appeared to be pretty expensive. One Bakugan was $10 and a 3 pack was $25. Anyway just a tip that if you find Bakugan hard to get in your local store sometimes you can check the sports card section and find a whole new set.

Custom Bakugan: Bakuganwiz.com now includes a page dedicated to Custom Bakugan. They Bakugan have insanely high G ratings. Some of the Bakugan have G ratings of almost 100 Million G. Amazing.

Character Packs:
I have just added the new Bakugan Character packs to the site. With this pack you get a Bakugan ball, matching Bakugan card, and the matching Bakugan Action figure. Unfortunately I think they might have created this character pack to get rid of all the Bakugan Action figures. I never see anyone buying these do you?



New Bakugan Trap: I have added the new Bakugan Trap to the site. I think this is just the first Bakugan in the Trap series. Does anyone know what the name of this Bakugan is? Does anyone have a picture of the Bakugan Trap outside of the package? All of the pictures are of this Bakugan in captivity of the plastic bubble pack. Below you will find a picture of the Bakugan Trap Darkon or Black version.


New Bakugan Arena: I have added the Bakubowl to the Bakugan Arena section. The new Bakubowl is a pretty nice arena with a separate area for holding your Bakugan and the Bakugan cards. I have also split the Bakugan Arena section into 3 pages so each arena has it's own page now.

New Individual Bakugan: I have started to build out individual pages for each and every Bakugan. I only have 3 done so far. Make sure you check out the Dragonoid, Fear Ripper, and Bakugan Trap pages. These pages will be refered to as collection, for example Dragonoid collection.

Dual Attribute Bakugan: I have added some new pictures to the Bakugan Dual Attribute page. The dual attribute Bakugan seem to be a more readily available now.

Bakugan Mega Keychain: Bakugan Keychains are now available on Bakuganwiz.com. There are 3 versions of the new Bakugan Mega Keychain available. They do look pretty cool.

Thanks again to all the fans and members of Bakuganwiz.com. The site continues to grow in popularity thanks to all of you. We now have 472 registered members to the site and we are getting almost 170,000 page views per month to the site. If you have any suggestions, comments, corrections, or ideas for the site please let me know. I want to keep adding to the site to make it the best Bakugan site out there.

Bakuganwiz.com: Andy' Bakugan News Issue 6

Hello everyone from Bakuganwiz.com! Happy New Year! It sure is winter here we have been getting a ton of snow. I haven't had a chance to write a new Bakugan news issue since 12/21/08. I got really busy just before Christmas. I am sure you all know how that goes. I hope everyone had a great holiday and you got everything that you wanted. Especially Bakugan stuff. :)

? Question from Bakuganwiz.com Fans ?

I have several questions from Bakuganwiz.com fans this week. The first question comes from Richard. They bought a bunch of Bakugan for their son this Christmas and Richard used the Bakugan list on Bakuganwiz.com to figure out the names of most of the Bakugan. However this one is still in question. Can anyone confirm with Bakugan this is? BTW: Why don't they put the name of Bakugan on the packages?


The second questions comes from John. I posted it on the Bakuganwiz.com forum however no one answered it yet. Here is the question or questions from John.

  1. What happens when my 3 marbles on three separate cards and my opponent still have marbles to roll? Does he keep rolling until a battle ensues?
  2. What is HSP and how is it used?
  3. What happens when a marble misses the cards?
  4. How does the game end?
What's new at Bakuganwiz.com


I have several updates that I wanted to share with everyone. So here they are!

Bakugan watches: Brand new this week to Bakuganwiz.com is the page on Bakugan Watches. These new Bakugan watches are really nice. One version comes in 12 different colors and there are boys and girls versions of the Bakugan Watch. The other versions feature some of your favorite Bakugans on the face of the watch.

Bakugan shoes: For those of you who have been looking for Bakugan shoes they seemed to have caught up on the inventories now so if you are looking for them they are available now.

New Bakugan Clear: I have added new pictures to the Bakugan Clear page including the new Clear El-Condor.

Dual Attribute Bakugan: I received a fantastic picture of the Dual Attribute Dragonoid from Eliot that is featured on the Bakugan Dual Attribute page as well as the Bakugan pics page. Thanks for the picture Eliot. The dual attribute Bakugan seem to be more readily available now which is good so make sure you check out our page to see what is new.

New Bakugan on the Bakugan list: I added added Sirenoid, Evolved Skress, and Hammer Gorem to the Bakugan list page just before new years.

Bakugan pictures: I have added several new pictures to the Bakugan Pictures page. If you have your own pictures that you would like me to add to the site please email them to me. Some of my best Bakugan pics come from the members of this site. For those of you that have contributed thank you very much.

I found a really cool picture of a Bakugan Deka Series. It looks like the Deka is either protecting the other Bakugan or ready to destroy them.

Thanks again to all the fans and members of Bakuganwiz.com. The site continues to grow in popularity thanks to all of you. We now have 435 register members (up 100 since last month) to the site and we are getting almost 200,000 page views per month (up 50,000 versus last month) to the site.

Bakuganwiz.com: Andy' Bakugan News Issue 5

Only 4 days until Christmas! We have a ton of snow here in Michigan. We even lucked out and had our very first snow day on Friday so Christmas break started early and started off with a little extension. I wanted to give everyone an update on what's new at Bakuganwiz.com this week. A ton of new changes for everyone to checkout.

New Bakugan Pictures I received a bunch of really good Bakugan pictures from Matthew that can be seen on the Bakugan Pictures page. Thanks to Matthew for his contribution. If you have any cool Bakugan pictures of your own that you would like me to add to the gallery please send them in. If you keep sending the Bakugan pics I will keep adding them to the gallery.

Bakugan List I have added 4 new Bakugans to the Bakugan list page based on suggestions from the Bakuganwiz.com forum. The new Bakugan that I have added include Monarus, Harpus, Diablo, and Ultimate Evolved Dragonoid. Remember if I am missing any Bakugan from this list please just send me an email or leave a note on the forum or message board.

Dual Attribute Bakugan: I added some new pictures to the Dual Attribute Bakugan page. Loose pictures of Dual Attribute Bakugan really seem hard to find so if you have some please email them to me and I will post them on the Dual Attribute page. Also I have determined that Bakuswap is not the same as Dual Attribute. I have figured out with help from the forum contributors that all Dual Attribute Bakugan are Bakuswap, however not all Bakuswap are Dual Attribute. Does that make any sense? Anyway I am rambling on about this.

Sticker and Magnets I recently split the Bakugan Books page into a separate page featuring Bakugan Stickers and Magnets. There are 2 new Bakugan sticker and magnet sets that just came out. Both of them are really nice sets.

Bakuclear and Bakugan Translucent I have also split up the Bakugan Clear and Bakugan Translucent pages. I have added new items to each of these pages.

Bakupear and Pearl Bakugan I did the same thing with the Bakupearl and Pearl Bakugan Pages. I split them into two pages since they really are 2 totally different types of Bakugan toys. I really like the Bakugpearl Ravenoid and the new Bakupear Harpus.

Message Board: As I mention above the Bakuganwiz.com new message board is now in full swing and I am getting great help from people like Gabriel and Jeff. If you have any questions, ideas, suggestion, or comments on how to make Bakuganwiz.com better just drop them on the message board.

Digg Button: As I mention before I have added a Digg.com button to the left hand side of the home page. If you are a Digg.com user I would appreciate the Digg.

Thanks again to all the fans and members of Bakuganwiz.com. The site continues to grow in popularity thanks to all of you. We now have 334 register members to the site and we are getting over 150,000 page views per month to the site. We are looking forward to a great holiday. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Until next week Battle On!

Bakuganwiz.com: Andy's Bakugan News Issue 4

News from Bakuganwiz.com: I can't believe that it is only 11 days until Christmas. Wow and amazing! I hope everyone has all their Christmas shopping done and is ready for the Christmas Break. I have added a ton of new Bakugan toys to Bakuganwiz.com this week. Here are the highlights for this week's Bakugan newsletter.
Updated Bakugan List: The Bakugan list at Bakuganwiz.com has been freshly updated this week with 5 new Bakugans. This list continues to be the number one list on Google for Bakugan information. We just added some brand new Bakugan including the new Apollinir, Clayf, Exedra, El Condor, Fortress, Frosch, Lars Lion, Tentaclear, Wavern and really cool Oberus! Look for the new sign on the list. By the way, some of these new Bakugan are called Bakuswap. Anyone know what that means?



Changes at Bakuganwiz.com: I have added several new pages this weekend or updated older pages in an attempt to help clarify and separate things. Here are the list of improvements to Bakuganwiz.com including:
  • Bakuswap - As I mentioned the new Bakuswap just started coming out recently. A whole bunch of new Bakugan characters were introduced with this round of Bakugans.
  • Bakupearl - I separated Bakupearl from the Bakugan Pearl. There appears to be a significant difference in the 2 types of Bakugan. The Bakupearl stuff really doesn't even look like pearl. Why do they call it that? If you can tell me the difference that would be great because I don't know what it is.
  • Bakugan Attributes - I added a Bakugan attributes or colors page. This will allow you to see your favorite Bakugans in all the different attributes or colors that are available.
  • Bakugan Dual Attribute - The new Dual Attribute Bakugans are just arriving on the scene. I really haven't seen a lot of pictures of them so if you find some of them please email them to me. Just click on the link on the botton of the Bakuganwiz.com home page for my email link or the contact us form.
  • Bakugan Translucent and Bakuclear - I have separated the Bakugan Translucent and Bakuclear Bakugan on this page. This should make it a little easier to find what is new.
  • Bakugan books: I have updated the Bakugan Books page. Several new books have been released recently there are still a lot of books that are in the pre-order phase. Just a note, becareful on ordering Bakugan books. Some of the stuff is not official Bakugan products, so you might be wise to ask questions to the seller before you buy or bid.
  • Bakugan clothes: New Bakugan pajamas have just been released. These are official Bakugan pajamas it is a 3 pc set which comes in 2 different colors, black and blue. I think they come with a birth certificate or born on date or something official that tells you they are from Vestoria. The really cool part is they are flame resistant. I hope you never need to actually prove if they are. I also recently added the Bakugan Hoodies page. There are lots of cool designs in the Bakugan Hoodies.

Message Board: I have added a Bakuganwiz.com new message board to allow a spot for all the Bakugan fans to leave notes, comments, ask questions and hopefully answer questions. I have already posted several questions. If you can help me out and answer these questions that would be great!

Digg Button: I have added a Digg.com button to the left hand side of the home page. If you are a Digg.com user I would appreciate the Digg.

Thanks again to all the fans and members of Bakuganwiz.com. The site continues to grow in popularity thanks to all of you. If you have any comments, suggestion or questions just send us a note we would be glad to work on it. We are looking forward to a great holiday. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Until next week Battle On!
