Bakugan 7 in 1 Maxus Dragonoid

Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This is a 7piece toy com­prised of 6 Baku­gan Traps and 1 Baku­gan Fig­ure. The set is com­posed of the fig­ures, as well as the Gate Card and Spe­cial Abil­ity Card. My daugh­ter has numer­ous Bat­tle Packs, traps, Baku­gan Deka, the arena, the launcher and Baku­gan Gaunt­let (in addi­tion to the Baku­gan DS game). The toy comes in the box as sep­a­rate fig­ures and step by step instruc­tions are nec­es­sary to aassem­ble the Max­imus Drag­onoid. Assem­bly took about 20 min­utes, the first time. Instruc­tions are only graph­i­cal draw­ings and not too easy to fol­low. Once assem­bled the fig­ure is not as big as I had antic­i­pated on the pack­ag­ing. Per­son­ally, i was not impressed but my 9 year loves it. She likes the abil­ity to use the traps when play­ing the Baku­gan with her other Baku­gan Fig­ures. As for an action set, I ques­tion the dura­bil­ity with non-game play (ie as stand­alone action fig­ures) — given the spring loaded mech­a­nisms and del­i­cate small parts. I do not rec­om­mend this for house­holds with chil­dren under 5 given the high chok­ing poten­tial. This set is more ideal for kids aged 7 and above — depend­ing upon how gin­gerly or harsh your child plays with his or her toys. For the price, this toy is a touch over­priced and I rec­om­mend wait­ing for a price drop by at least $5 to $10. How­ever, the the unique nature of a mod­u­lar toy, this set is amaz­ing. I rec­om­mend this for the Ulti­mate Baku­gan Fan and not for the casual gamer. Despite its lim­i­ta­tions, it is still a very good toy.
