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.

You can play w/ the individual characters but the main 'Maxus Dragonoid' cannot be played with since doesn't go together worth a hoot which is the reason my son wanted the toy. Pieces don't fit quite right. So not worth the money. He is 8. We had fun trying to but it together but wish it was worth the effort.

The separate Bakugans are cool, but it is very difficult to put them all together. A grown-up can barely get them together let alone my 8 year old.

My 7 year old is crazy for Bakugan and begged for this. He takes it everywhere.

hi my son recieved this on his birthday. On his way to the party one of the springs came out of one of the traps. This was an important part on the whole Maxus Draganoid. Since he threw away the inside packaging I can't return it. We payed $50 for about 10 minutes of gentle play and you can't buy the one we need at the store. So I don't know if you have any solutions for me or If I can even buy the one that broke to once again complete the set.

This bakugan is fantastic. My mom bought it for me and I got one 650gs neo dragonoid and 6 other never before seen bakugan traps! This is truly a toy worth its cost. Also, you might want to look at Bakugan Maxus Helios (7 Figures Combined Into 1).
