In early November, new ''Battle Planet'' toys were first listed on Amazon, showing off some of the new Bakugan and the [[Attribute#New System|new attribute symbolsFaction]]system.
The [[Bakugan.com]] official site, leading up to December 1st, had a sign-up form for email newsletters regarding ''Battle Planet'' information, as well as a countdown to December 1st. After December 1st, no new information was revealed, but a new countdown timer was set to December 17th, promising that "all will be revealed." There were two other notable changes: the sign-up form changed, from simply prompting "Enter Your Birthday" then asking for an email, to "Sign up for our Baku-Blast! Enter your age to begin," as well as a new "Incoming Transmission" message at the top of screen which, upon clicking, would play a short clip of an unknown Pyrus Dragonoid blasting fire at the screen before returning to the main page.
