Ok, you're probably all wondering why I'd be starting a thread about why I hate Bakugan on a Bakugan fan website. Well, two reasons actually. 1) I love Bakugan and 2) There are things that are pissing me off lately.So here you go, starting from number 10, the least of which makes me *^&#$(^#&$*(.....Coming in last, but still annoying....10.) Importing from JapanBasically I really do like some of the products they are bringing out in Japan, such as the diffrent colors for attributes, and it seems that they're getting some better materials for the marbles. I know that Japan always gets the better stuff and generally us Americans get SCREWED, but normally I can at least find a way to import the stuff over here. Well, not so much with Bakugan, it's a LOT more difficult.9.) Generally ExpensiveI don't think that Spin Master sat down and thought about their full audience here. I realized that the basic little packs are either 4.99 or 5.99 depending if you're shopping at WalMart or Target, but ok, say you find 5 that you absolutely MUST HAVE, so you're into it about 30 bucks. Now say next day you finally find an Ultimate Dargonoid Deluxe Figure at Toys R Us, ok you're into it another 30 bucks. Then say since the Target by my house gets restocked on Mondays, you go there and find out that they just released all the translucent and pearl Dekas, and they're 12 bucks a piece, and you find about 4 that you must own, and so far in three days you've spent about $100. Now I know I have a spending problem, and that I like to collect Bakugan more than play it, but seriously...couldn't they give us a little break and not realease so many things at once!8.) Sheer QuantityFollowing in with number 9, is just the pure AMOUNT of Bakugan there are. I figured out the math on it one day, and if they make every Bakugan that they have "officially" announced in ALL the attributes, including pearls, clears, and translucents, there are about 1680 Baku Marbles.%^$#(@%&@!%&!)$%^$#%&*)%&#)%!OMG! Think of that from a collectors point of view. It's near impossibility. Figure at the cheapest of 4.99 a piece, that's $8,383.20! And you know you're not going to be able to buy them all for that cheap. Hello eBay!7.) Lack of Fan CareSpin Master really just doesn't like their fans. I think we all know how they treated the April 11th Bakugan Event for Kmart, and I know there have been a couple others like that. This really gets me. DON'T ANNOUNCE SOMETHING IF YOU DON'T PLAN ON A FOLLOW THROUGH! That's my opinion. I knew plenty of people that went hoping to find a gold edition something, or the New Vestroia starter packs, or whatever. I know I had to wait 2 WEEKS after the 11th for my Kmart to even receive the crappy box of BakuSwap...OOOOO thank you for giving me what's already been out!6.) Care of ProductsI don't know about everyone else, but I know that I have to spend about 10 minutes per store just standing there comparing the diffrences of two of the same marbles. All becaude this darkus percival has a small yellow paint line that runs down his face, and this other darkus percival that has a smear down his eye. Ok, I'm really tired of the lack of quality. I want to be able to find a marble I've been looking for and just get him, instead of having to try to find another one that doesn't have such a crappy paint job.5.) Crap Bakugan MarblesOk, Hammer Gorem...what 2 year old designed THAT one??? Could they just at least make a slightly more similar character to the show??? I'm ok with most of the bakugan being simple or not as complicated, as long as there are some paint details or something. There are only so many variations you can put into a marble. But seriously!! HAMMER GOREM??? The evolved form looks crappier than the original? That makes sense!4.) NO ORGANIZATION!I can't even begin to describe the amount of hours I have spent on the internet compiling a list of all the bakugan out there. Let alone what attributes and specials they come in. You would think if you make a product you could at least keep an updated list on what you're selling. Take it from Pokemon, if you keep a better list or collectors book out there, you will sell more product BECAUSE WE WOULD KNOW WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR!!! I hate trying to GUESS whats out there and where I can find it!3.) No informationAgain, the lack of information out there is amazing. It really is! You can't find info on marbles, the show, NOTHING! It's like Harry Potter secrecy on a worldwide level. Really? Is Bakugan so important that the everyday person can't just go on to the internet to find the recent information of Bakugan without having to do a freaking investigation on it! COME ON!!! It shouldn't be this difficult. It's a freaking kids game! What should be more easily accessible!!!2.) No show!!!!Where's my show??? I hav not seen ONE piece of information on when it's premiering in the US. I give props to our Administrator, but I have a 61" TV that I would like to enjoy the goodness of Bakugan on. ESPECIALLY since they are showing so many cool new things on there. I mean in Episode 55 they showed a Bakugan that hasn't even been announced for a marble! How awesome! But still! I bought a computer and a TV for two seperate reasons!!!!And finally the thing that I HATE most about Bakugan....1.) CanadaTHEY'VE TURNED INTO A BAKUGAN NAZI!!! WHY WONT THEY GIVE US ANYTHING????? NO SHOW NO NOTHING! THEY ARE WITHHOLDING EVERYTHING. ITS OK FOR US TO BUY THE TOYS AND THE FIGURES BUT WE CAN'T EVEN GET A STUPID SHOW!!! I'M PISSED OFF AT THAT COUNTRY AND I REALLY WANT JAPAN TO FULLY TAKE OVER BECASUE AT LEAST THEY GIVE US A DATE ON WHEN THINGS WILL BE RELEASED!!!!!Thank you for reading my rant. I hope this makes everyone feel better after reading it, and if you have more to add that I forgot, please do. I'm curious to see what frustrates everyone else.~B.C.

I did, and basically I get a general response as I'm sure you did

Well, I'm sorry to offend, but just becuz you're canadian doesnt mean I hate you, I just don't like how they are running the whole system. And no, I'M IMPATIENT! I'm a serious collector and avid watcher of the show, and when things get realeased IN ENGLISH in Canada there is no reason there should be THIS MUCH of a time delay to bring it to America.

[UmblumbMember]

OK im sory 2 for the outrage lol. just watch youtube and im a serois collector 2 but im waiting and when something comes out i pounce on it right away.

[AdminKeymaster]

can i rant? i'll go ahead: WHERE DO THEY GET THE VOICES FOR THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!?????? i mean baron.... i WTF!?'d at his voice! they all sound like whiney b4$t4rd$! 2nd of all! spinmaster uniformity absolutely sucks. i could go on all day ranting, but i just recovered from being fluish, i don't want another headache from going on pc too long.off topic: look at swine flu eh? it's here in new zealand already! jeez, dang pigs.

[AdminKeymaster]

i totally agree about the info part. Ernie or someone else said something about the BakuGauntlet (from the show) so i looked it up and i got alot of links but only one of them said anything about it. i'm not sure if i'm ovrreacting about this part, but even get a dam* picture

[AdminKeymaster]

Ooh, can I join?10. Original showI absolutly hate the original TV show, but the New Vestroia series is pretty cool.9. Little KidsWe have all encountered little kids who can't seem to play right. It happens. Unfortunatly, most of the time there's nothing you can do.8. Non Show AccuracyAs you have noticed, a lot of Bakugan have som significant differences than their show forms. Some are OK, but some like Hammer Gorem and Neo Dragonoid are completely non-show accurate. 7. Cheap PlasticMost of the newer Bakugan have slightly cheaper plastics, mainly the B2s. The B1s had better plastics, especially the series ones.6. Card EffectsMost of the cards after the HSP series didn't have very good effects (don't get me wrong, there are some that have awsome effects), it's just that there are a lot that don't.5. eBayLet's face it, eBay can be pretty unreliable. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of good sellers on there, it's just that most of the auctions now a days for Bakugan say something like this..."Ultimate Drago Pyrus Nova 12 620G Naga"then say that about three times. It often turns out that they don't send you anything, just keep your money. Also, I also noticed that most users on there are called ***(insert letter here)***. Why are so many people using names like that?4. Bakugan WebsiteThe official Bakugan websites sucks, to put it nicely. The community has too many little kids, the news is hardly updated, and the Bakugan and card collections are missing tons of Bakugan and cards.3. Spin MasterThis is the cause of #4., mainly. They hardly give us any information until it's too late, they creat a crappy website, and their quality in toys is starting to decrease (until Bakuneon, then their quality shot back up).2. Special AttacksMost of the new special attacks are just lame. Now, some like dual sided Bakugan and the new dice thrower are pretty cool, but ones like the jumpings and heavy metals are just stupid. The jumping hardly ever works, and what exactly is the heavy metal supposed to do?1. MissouriNow this is my #1 lest favorite because one thing.Missouri always gets stuff late. We are just getting Bakuneon, and Bakubrinze is already starting to show up! We also just got Bakuswap when Bakuneon started to apear, Bakuclear when Bakuswap started to apear, and so on. It just pisses me off to no end that the middle of the country always gets stuff late. Most of the new things are awsome!

Eskura, the only good purpose of heavy metals are that they curve easily.

Oh. Nice to know they actually do something.

[tdogMember]

Yeah so if you curve alot get a hm. The metal gives it balance.90% of the time it curves over a gate card it stands.

whats so bad about neo drago?

[AdminKeymaster]

whats so bad about neo drago?

The fact that he doesn't spin, he's missing the infinity/silent core crystal on his chest, and his darn head is too floppy.
