Broke easily

My first impression of this toy was that it was not something my kids would have found appealing at the store. The toy literally looked like a thin plastic game board. When my kids tried it they enjoyed it as it was similar to beyblade but didnt play it longer than 1 hour. In addition, the board broke in half on the first day and the bakugan broke as well and we were never able to put it back together

Not a hit with my Bakugan fans

My kids (6 & 9) love Bakugan, so they were very excited when the new Brawl Zone set arrived. It comes with a two-piece plastic tray (the Brawl Zone) and one spinning Bakugan. There were no directions in the package, so we had to guess how to make the Bakugan spin. Even after we figured it out, my kids both struggled to make it spin well on their own and I ended up having to do it repeatedly. The other disappointing thing was that there's only one Bakugan in the pack. If you want to use the Brawl Zone for a battle, you need to buy another, separate spinning Bakugan as the regular ones won't work.
The packaging mentioned the Bakugan came apart, but didn't show how, so I had to look it up online. Taking it apart and putting it back together feels dangerous - like the rim is going to snap in two. The kids decided to leave the rim off it and use it as a regular Bakugan. I gave the set two stars because they really liked the style of the Bakugan in the set. The spinning feature and the Brawl Zone itself are unlikely to be used very much, if at all.
