NP and the rest just wanted the Bakugan, not the cards, Gear, Evos, or the rules.
Look at it this way. If someone played a quake dragonoid as a regular bakugan (because you mentioned you only wanted the Bakugan) then this would cause a problem because the Quake dragonoid is a bakugan that requires special conditions under the S3 rules. People are complaining about the rules and how loosely enforced they are already and you want SM to include Bakugan from a different set which is just bound to add more confusion to the chaos.
It would not cause any problem as it's over the 780g cap. The person I battled in FL who used a GI was told that GIs could be used as long as none of the cards were used and they weren't above 780g. It's not rocket science, unless you ask SM to figure it out....
That's exactly my point. SM will need to come up with additional rules just to allow the S3 bakugan and we still don't know for sure which ones are 780 since not all of the merchandise are out.
......Just that, we don't need to know, as long the minimun is at least 780G's
