That’s right boy and girls, next Saturday, July 5th, from 2-4PM we will be having our world famous Hockey Card Trading Day. That’s just over a week away and I just can’t wait any longer.

The season is over and the draft has passed us by, but there is all sorts of very important things happening in hockey right now and it is time to secure the cards and hot rookies you need to complete your collection.

Come trade and make new friends, and have a ball. Our staff with expert experience in hockey cards will be there to appraise your cards and oh, did I mention PRIZES?! That’s right, just like last time, and the time before, we will be handing out raffle tickets to those of you who purchase hockey related items in the store and giving away some sweet cards.

There is something for everybody. I hope to see you all there. Godspeed.

It’s the time of the season, to get ready for our Bakugan tournament coming next Saturday, June 28th. I hope you have all picked out your bestest and favourite Bakugans and cards. For those of you who are hazy about the rules, here is a quick refresher!

Put one game card facedown in the center of the battle arena in the slot furthest away from you. Players take turns shooting Bakugan Battle Brawlers with the youngest player going first. Players must shoot from at least two card lengths away. Players shoot until any two opponents’ Bakugan “stand” on the card, meaning magnetically fasten and open, and battle.

To battle: Compare the “G Power” of the battling Bakugan (it’s indicated on the sphere). Flip the card over and each player adds or
subtracts the G Power Boost shown on the card. For example, 350 G Power plus 150 G Power Boost equals 500 total G Power.

The player with the highest G Power wins the battle, capturing the card and the defeated Bakugan.

Players battle until all the cards are captured. Each player then counts up the total Holo Sector Points, or HSP, of his captured cards (HSP are marked on each card) and adds 100 HSP for each captured Bakugan. The player with the most HSP wins.

If you stand two of your Bakugan on a card, you automatically capture that card. If players tie in a battle, each player keeps his Bakugan and the card is removed from play. You cannot shoot captured Bakugan.

Cheers,

Alright Folks, you’ve been brawling on the schoolyard with your friends or at each others houses. Some of you may think you’re Mr. Hotshot himself, Shun. Well here’s your chance to fight for whats right, and Baku-brawl against some of the other would-be hotshots. That’s right, Toys on Fire is having their very first BAKUGAN TOURNAMENT!

So here’s the lowdown on the shindig:

Date and Time: June 28th, 2-4PM

Recommended Ages: All Ages! (Long as they know how to play Bakugan and have their own)

Registration: To register you’ll have to come to the store (sorry all you online folks, then again it’s hard to participate in a tournament if you’re halfway around the world). There will be a registration fee of $1 if you register before June 22nd. from June 22nd afterwards the fee will be $2. Also, we’re limiting the number of participants to 20 players, so if you want to attend, register ASAP!

Tournament Rules:
We will be providing Arena’s to facilitate play.

Each player will be expected to bring thier own 3 Bakugan and cards.

The tournament will be run in a Round Robin Style. The top player from each table will play a final round. The top 3 players of the final match will get a prize each. Check out the panel on the side for a list of prizes!

There will be several Brawlmasters (judges) monitoring the matches to make sure they are fair.

* The use of shooters will be allowed; however shooters must shoot from off the arena!

Changing Bakugan and cards between rounds will be allowed. However once a round starts, you will not be able to change your Bakugan or cards until after it’s over.

Draw Rules: Every player who registers will also get a raffle ticket to enter for the 3 draw prizes.

Also, throughout the tournament if any tournament participant buys a Bakugan, they will receive an extra raffle ticket(s) when they present their receipt to Brawlmaster Steve. You’ll get 1 raffle ticket for every $10 spent on a Bakugan (1 for $10 or under, 2 for $20, 3 for $30, etc).

We will be doing draw prizes throughout the tournament, if a ticket is called and no one claims it we will proceed to draw another ticket instead.

Here’s a picture of the prizes that we’ll be giving out!

Additional Notes:

If you are to leave your child here for the tournament, please leave a number we can contact with your child in case we need to do so.

Parents and Kids are responsible for watching their own Bakugan. We are not responsible for any lost or stolen items. One recommendation would be to put a piece of tape on the front side of cards (the side with all the point values) with the owners initials written on it. This way when the card is placed on the table for play, each player will know whose card is who’s after the game.

Most Important Point:
This tournament is for children to have fun! Remember that!
