This just in!

Spin Master has released a new set of Bakutins.

The bad news:

They aren’t cheap.  They are almost $30.

The 10 cards that come with the 2 Brawlers are from Series 2.

The Two Brawlers (at least the 6 we’ve seen) aren’t that powerful.

The GOOD news:

- The artwork on the tins rock!

- They are B2-sized Brawlers.

- The Bakugan are done up in the “Flip” color scheme.  The Darkus Flip looks like a Special Attack Hydranoid released in 2008.

- There are cards to help you.  The following Gate and Ability card mention Bakugan with “special treatments”. 

2b – Special Boost, 38/48
2b – Special Crush, 39/48
2c – Special Help, 22/48
2c – Special Bump, 39/48
2c – Special Boost, 40/48
2d – Distraction, 27/48

It turns out that Pearl, Flip, Dual Attribute (Swap), and Clear ALL qualify for “special treatment”.

Pics later this evening!

In a previous post, we found out that Series 2 Gate Cards have a highlighted Attribute there is a small corona around it.

Here is the first card we’ve seen that uses it: It is from the Bakuclear/Bakupearl (Series 2c, 41/48) set:

The card text says the following:

“Play during a battle where you have a Pyrus Bakugan. If the Gate Card has a Highlighted Pyrus Bonus, your Bakugan gets a G-Power bonus based on its Attribute.”

So we will be looking through our Gate Cards to find more! Hey! High Energy (Series 2, 6/48) has a highlighted Pyrus Attribute!

In a previous post, we talked about the Bakuswap coming with Series 2d Gate and Ability Cards (24 of each).  The Bakupearl Bakugans come with Series 2b and 2c cards.

What about 2a?

There is in fact a series 2a, but it has an odd pattern.

One set of cards read x/15a and the other set reads xa/15.  The key is the “a”.

One of the cards, called Circle of Fire *should* be numbered 9/15a or 9a/15.  It is numbered 12/20a.

It is the only set with an truly odd number of cards.

Here are the names of 31 of the 48 Cards for the Bakugan Battle Brawlers Series 2C:

Bait
Bee Striker
Brushfire
Combo Battle
Darkfire Color Shift
Darkness to Victory
El Condor
Flowing Waters
Fourtress
G-Power Increase
G-Power Swap
Ground
Heavy Surf
Julie’s Launcher
Lift
Lock & Load
Marucho’s Launcher
Masquerade’s Launcher
Monarus
Nightmare
Powder Keg
Power Triangle
Rattleoid
See The Light
Sirenoid
Special Boost
Special Help
Sting
Strong Winds Blow
The Cliffs
Touch With Fire

Spin Master pulls a fast one on everyone!

It turns out that the B2 series of cards is actually 2 sets (b and c).

We have already printed the list of the 2B cards, and will have a full set of them in the store on Tuesday.

We have 27 or so of the “C” series.  We will post a partial list on Tuesday.

We are thinking about selling a *COMPLETE* Series 2 set, which includes

48 Series 2 Cards

15 Series 2 Boosters

48 Series 2B Cards

48 Series 2C Cards
