The topic is that the FAQ is updated a few days ago, so there shouldn't be any more issues like these.
We hope.
For the future, if Bakugan connect, they are played as separate pieces normally, but count as part of the set if a card calls for it. Ex. Construction (or is it Building?) Gate has you take an unused Maxus Helios piece, Ex. Helios. You can then roll it, and if it lands on the Gate Card, you can use its G-Power and Attribute if you wish. You can not connect the whole thing together and then roll it, nor can you magically put all 7 pieces onto the gate card at once.
BTW, the reason they did this was A. So they could have another epic last fight, and B. To make money. Kind of cool, though. Think of it as a manly doll made up of collectible game pieces, since that is basically what it is.
