Guaranteed 700g Bakugan!
Attention Bakugan Battle Brawlers!
With the start of the first ever, nationwide, official Bakugan tournament several issues have been addressed concerning specific gameplay rules, game practices, and legitimate product.
Recently, the BakuCon Tournament Rules has received an update addressing the use of season 1 Bakugan, Trap, Launchers and Ramps, and correct Bonus procedures during matches. The latest version can be downloaded here: BakuCon Tournament Rules.
More importantly, the concern of purchasing and using fake/illegal/imported Bakugan arose through the observation of the official BakuCon judges, BakuCon participants, and several integral community members.
A simple question has fueled a much heated debate which has been escalated in priority and has officially been addressed:
What is the highest printed G-Power on official Spin Master Bakugan?
Currently, the highest Season 2 G-Power printed on a Bakugan is 780G. The only exception to that G-Power cap is Mystic Elico which has a printed G-Power of 820G on its projecting dice.
This information is extremely critical in determining which Bakugan are genuine from the mass amounts of knockoffs, fakes, and imports found on online auctions, small boutiques, etc. Please avoid from purchasing such product as they are not allowed in any official tournament play and are not considered legitimate, genuine Spin Master product.
Additionally, this information will be shared with the BakuCon officials and will be thoroughly shared with all partners to ensure that tournament participants are playing with genuine Bakugan. Fortunately, the Regional Champions from Chicago and Los Angeles were using Bakugan within the genuine printed G-Power ranges.
Lastly, we would like to give a personal thank you and apologies to the following members who voiced their opinions and helped raise the much needed red flag to resolve this issue:
- Kohdok
- EbayBrawler
- BakuganSensei
- jdhoneybrown7
- Timess
- Any other contributing members in the “Fake Bakugan Fiasco†threads
Without your passion and dedication Bakugan wouldn’t be what it is today!
Sincerely,
LordDarkus, BrightLight, and the Bakugan team

So this means that 800g Darkus Alpha Percival and 800g Haos Tentaclear currently being sold on Ebay by TKE96 are CUSTOM g-power Bakugan. :O
Actually it means that they are not North American Releases, they are from other countries releases. They are not customized by me. There has been extensive discussions around this topic in the forums…swing by and do some “light” reading! (“Light” meaning there is quite a bit in the discussions)
tke96,do u know what the name of that golden trap u sold a few months back was called?im really stumped.
turbine there you are
@tke96 – Well Lord Darkus over at the My.Bakugan forums says that 780g is the highest current printed Bakugan released so that must mean yours are Custom. I am not saying you did the G-power alteration yourself, but somebody did it appears. They are in fact CUSTOM since your 800g Darkus Alpha Percival and 800g Haos Tentaclear you are selling on Ebay are higher than the max g-power printed on ANY Bakugan by SpinMaster at this time, in this country or any others, except for Mystic Elico.
what about misprints i have an appolinier in subterra color but its aquos
@zman: Hmmm.. Older season 1 bakugan with the wrong attribute symbol printed usually spells CUSTOM. Did you buy it sealed in the package this way ? Or is it from Ebay or a Seller on the internet?
@zman: FYI…Mismatching Bakugan color and attribute symbol can also point to an outright counterfeit as well !
cool!!!! just to tell you but i have a red elfin with 700gs shes my staonges Bakugan!!!!!!!!!!!!
z man and everyone else who owns that type of appolinir it was suppost to be a bronze bakugan.i have seen it like twice in stores.somehow they accidently messed up,which is why if you go to a store that still has bakubronze u wont see it there anymore.
i though 900gs wass the highest
@turbine: It is true that sometimes Bakubronze look much like subterra to the novice or average brawler but a knowledgable Bakugan collector can easily tell the difference. Those Bakubronze look dull and ugly IMHO.
@efren9za: NOPE ! SpinMaster SIMPLY has not printed anything with a printed g-power(officially that is) of 780g at this time with exception of 810g or 820g mystic elico. Anything higher, whether someone wants to call it “import” or not, is a CUSTOM g-power Bakugan, meaning the g-power has been altered ! BEWARE.
@BakuganSensei : i agree. the only difference between bakubronze and subterra is that sm tryed to add that silver-ish color.it really makes it dull,and the bakubronze should have looked like bronze attack from the start. also, has leonidas been released as an actual bakugan?
not yet. unfortunetly
i have 2 dice throwers
@turbine : I really, really want Leonidas but to my knowledge, he has not been released yet
Also @turbine: I also agree on Bakubronze. The finish was hideous just like Haos Bakuflip. Looks like vomit. They totally should have made Bakubronze like Bronze Attack. Those ones are sweet, just wish that had higher g-power despite the included powered up special ability cards.
My highest g bakugan is 670 gs ventus oberus, but i got good strategies with her/him lol. Higher g power doesnt always mean victory.
@BakuganSensei and hydranoid : thanks.one of my friends told me he owns a pyrus leonidas.when i heard him he told me he got it from toysrus.i thought he was mistaking it for another bakugan,and i guess i was right.again,thanks.
MUST SEE!!!!!! go on toywiz now and u should see the all new gaundilian invaders!!!!!!they are awsome!!!!
@turbine: Well I didn’t see them on Toywiz anywhere, but Bakuempire has them all in there glory on his site. ;D
@BakuganSensei : are you sure???try checking in the pre-orders section.they even are in packaging!! they pre-order ship march.
it was probably orbit helios but that doesn’t come in pyrus
@turbine: Ok, I found them. Look pretty darn awesome ! Bakuempire has even more pictures of them in different attributes, way more pictures, alas not in any packaging.
too bad i have illegit g power of 870 and 820 stinglash and hammer gorem, but i new they were rigged, i don’t plan on entering bakucon or any tornaments so…. I am gettin a black cannon trap, if you wanna see a video of it on youtube check out my channel on youtube grimmjow1021
@BakuganSensei : great!!!!the only 2 things im wondering about is if the game packs(3 gun traps and 2 bakugan)are replacing the battle packs(6 bakugan)and if the new cards look different from the others(on the back).
@turbine: Those things I cannot answer you. As you know Ebay or higher end Bakusellers like Bakuempire specialize in that stuff. I have yet to obtain any gun packs or new GI baku since I am unwilling to pay the super high prices that alot of sellers ask for them. Even worse, since SpinMaster hasn’t officially released them anywhere, where is all the GI Baku coming from being sold on the internet ? 😀 P.S. It ALL sure looks awesome though ! SpinMaster continues to push the envelop on better looking, better painted/materials with more detail than ever before. I LIKE IT !
@BakuganSensei :i also have noticed that sm has been doing a whole lot better than usual.i cant wait!!if they come out in march, ill be sure to get a few!!
relley? that depends on how much it cost or how much money you bring
when is miriad hades going to be in the show.
never!
yup jacob :p
@jacob :Darkus collector is right.myriad hades is just a collectable bakugan. though, it could be possible that max spyder will explode and shadow would get myraid hades.
but how hades alredy exploded
NO!!!! THE STRONGEST BAKUGAN BY SPINMASTER THAT IS NOT AN IMPORT OR CUSTOM IS QUAKE DRAGONOID!! ITS VENTUS VERSION HAS 950 GS!!!!!!
@secura
NO my friend showed the quake draginoid to me i recognized how fake it was at first sight
This is going to need an update soon when the new wave of GI bakugan come out. Just wondering, are Sharpie-colored bakugan allowed in tournaments?
Ok jump ahead to gundalian invaders. I just bought a drago with 850 Gs in a north American wal mart. So ha.
