Yep, you heard right. STD here with some great Baku-Con news! Today, I got an e-mail from the Baku-Con help support and they said it is now free! Here is what is said:

"Hey Brawlers!

Baku-Con has officially become a free event! We are in the process of refunding money to everyone who has registered and paid a fee. You should see this refund in the next 7-10 days. In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, please call us at 1-877-800-4248 or e-mail us at help@baku-con.com.

New Set of Bakugan To Be Released This 2010

Posted by: maryann in Bakugan Finds, Bakugan News, New Bakugan, Site Updates , on January 15th, 2010

A lot of us are really looking forward to new additions to our Bakugan collections, and so we're all excited to find out when the next set of the Bakugan series will be released. There's nothing definite yet, except that the set is slated to be out this year. It could be early this year, or it could be later. There's a whole lot of waiting for us to do till the new Bakugan are out, that's for sure. For now, there's only the pictures and their tentative names:

Lumagrowl
Dharak
Avior
Snapzoid
Strike Flier
Phosphos
Helix Dragonoid
Coredem

The new set of Bakugan introduces a universal weapons system, where the Bakugan will have tabs and a magnet in their back when they are opened from their closed ball form. The Bakugan will be able to use "Weapon Traps," which are apparently still a tentative part of the set. We'll see.

Another interesting news that comes with the new set is regarding the color of the Darkus Bakugan. Particularly, the secondary color, which will be changed from purple to green, like this:

You can also go to our Unreleased Bakugan and Traps page to see the new Bakugan. Just click on the names or the pictures to go to their respective pages.
