Bakugan: Battle Brawlers

The game where you toss little plastic spheres onto a card 'game board.' If they land in just the right way, those spheres transform into little robot fighters.

Is this an fresh new idea for a game that would be fun to play with my kids? Or perhaps simply just an annoying fad?

The gimmick does seem very cool, but I don't know if the system is worth buying if the underlying game doesn't have much value.

Anyone seen B:BB in action?
