The late 00s and early 10s were a memorable time to be a kid due to the unique toys and stellar cartoons. It was also amusing for parents with tween children, who probably had to, at least once, watch Adventure Time or play with Bakugans.
Bakugan refers to a video game, TV show, strategy game, and collectible game pieces. The characters from the series became a craze among kids in the U.S. and Canada, encouraging creators to develop Bakugan toys.
They created cards and balls for the strategy game, and these were initially sold together. The manufacturers, Spin Master, made these collectibles more enticing by continuously adding new sets of toys, making some of them exclusive to specific stores, and introducing promotional gifts. As a result, collectors who possess rare and well-kept Bakugan items can sell them for up to $300.
