Indeed so at first, but later on, you make more money then you spend. I've probably only spent around $50 on tournies and such, and I have well over $300 worth of cards and stuff. I don't play anymore though.
Yugioh is another semi-expensive game, but it's quite fun. I've started back up in that. If your interested, try that. It doesn't take to much to get started either.
Yeah battle spirits is really fun
they had a power rangers tcg?? XD
Be nice If there were new TCG's being developed in the future but due to Wizards of the Coast's TCG patent from Magic: The Gathering which is still in effect until 2021 that makes it hard for other companies to pay for royalties in order to get their own TCG's licensed and sold to the public.
About 7 years ago Wizards of the Coast filed a lawsuit against Upper Deck and Nintendo for "stealing" their patent and was later undisclosed to this day. In short UDE and Nintendo had to pay a huge fine to keep both Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokemon going to Wizards.
Battle Spirits is alright but it never really caught on in the Midwest, same with the Spoils TCG which died cause the company in charge filed for bankruptcy, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Naruto on the other hand is still very much alive with Yu-Gi-Oh! having a bigger playerbase than Naruto.
With Scrye Magazine out of business, it's hard to find news on new TCG's being developed or rather If there is any being developed at the current moment. People just don't seem to have the money to produce new TCG's...

Yeah, it's just really difficult for companies to get new games going right now. Between the economic downturn, and the amount of players already committed to games currently doing well, launching a new TCG (without a really strong backing) is just a bad move.
Battle Spirits is slowly getting there in terms of popularity, it's got a decent sized following right now, but will likely do much better once the anime series hits the air. If you're looking to get into a new game Battle Spirits is definitely the one to keep an eye on right now. I've been playing it since it's debut in August and it's incredible.
Anyway, right now the living games I play are Pokemon, Battle Spirits and Naruto. I'm also looking into rejoining Yu-Gi-Oh and the WoW TCG after a period of absence.
Side note: I really wish WotC would bring back Duel Masters in the west. I keep crossing my fingers that it'll happen. Today they announced they will not renewing their Star Wars license with Lucasfilm, so perhaps they'll put some thought into resurrecting Duel Masters as a replacement property? Hey, I can dream!
Problem I see with Battle Spirits is that Yu-Gi-Oh! is still as popular as ever despite the game's flaws, heck one of my local hobby stores had these "Duel Terminals" or Arcade machines where you could play Yu-Gi-Oh! cards on the machine like as If you were playing a video game, weird eh?
Bakugan: Battle Brawlers despite being a Jacks/Marble esque game which is unpopular, the Anime series for it is as much of a huge hit as Pokemon currently is. 12 Seasons and still going for Pokemon though, but If the Battle Spirits Anime/Manga series does pick up in the U.S. I'm sure the game would of been more popular yet still they did the same thing with Duel Masters and it flopped after awhile.
In order for certain new TCG's to do well they need a strong following or good source material that will gather people's interest into playing it, Score Entertainment used to be pretty good at this for awhile until they got out of control after the Dragonball Z/GT TCG (no Re-Z) then went out of business after Bleach.

From what I saw, the Spoils was the worst TCG I've ever seen.
I used to play MLB Showdown from 2000-2005. Bought some of the NFL (which sucks), and the NBA (which is awesome). Recently got into the Football Champions (soccer showdown basically). FC is probably the best of the bunch with sets in English, French, and Italian.
Although I doubt anyone would have interest in dead sport TCG's.

are you talking about the old dragonball tcg or the new dragonball ccg? cause theres the new dragonball ccg by bandai. I use to play that when it first came out until the second set then just stopped playing due to lack of time. it was actually really fun but there werent enough players around my area to keep up the interest. gameplay is really similiar to naruto
