im watching something on ebay that sounds like that its 6 guys in all those plus 2 others the red lion and an other ive asked a family member to put down a bid since ive lost my account info

ARRRGH~! i am NEVER GONNA GET THE RHINOS~! =[

Wow. Lots going on in the last few days. As to finding some of the harder to find Mugenbines, what about asking Ryan at FantoFan or the Tokyo Hunter guy to keep an eye out?

Anyhow, I finally watched the Mugenbine ads a few nights ago. Still love the weathered look on the Toy commercials...although, did the CG commercials make any one mad at how much movement they gave the Mugenroids and Gear figures?

Aoi

Other than the fact that these 2 toys are so freakin' awesome, is there any other reason why they are so hard to find? I don't even see them on Yahoo! Japan Auctions anymore.

While I still love most of the MRM stuff, I simply don't have the storage or display space anymore. That said, I did hold onto a few sets for myself. I'll just stick to the vintage MR stuff...maybe I'll find some more of the Lights & Sound or Winner Robo in the near future.

so i got that offer i seen on ebay with these guys



i have to say after years of putting off getting them im interested to see what these little robots are like in person. im going to say now im not mad on the yellow guy but im really interested in the blue tiger bug and the rhino

That is a good starter set. The "rhino" is actually a triceratops though. The good thing about HeatTricera is he is one of the sets that comes with a combiner head so you can make a larger robot with a somewhat porportionate head. Build giraffet isn't that bad of a figure IMO. I actually quite like him and Dig Kong (as I've said before) is one of my favorite figures. Plus Air Leon is becoming harder to find now a days so snagging him is pretty good.

i think junkstag has a 2nd head aswell looking at the photos on IRL

Yes Junkstag does. the sets with extra combiner heads are:

C- Carryeagle
H - Heatricera
J - Junkstag
K - Kaisercondor
L - Leadsaurus/Launchersaurus
M - Machptera
V - Victory Leon
Z- Zord Elephant

Then Bandai made each set with a third super robot mode which came with a larger head:
G- Gear Tortoise
I - Impact Dile
Q - Questknight
R - Razorninja
S - Saveguman
S - Spitviper
T - Teiouryu
U - Uzumakidori
W - Wanrikiguma
W- Wingbat
Y - Yutenma

Insect Double set is a repaint of Ironbeetle (Interbeetle) and Junkstag (Jabstag). The second head on Jabstag is different than the one on Junkstag. The set also comes with bug parts that gives the gestalt two lower arms and normal fists and a sword made from bugs.

thanks for the info im not so keen on some of the newer ones with the engine but wingbat looks ok

The good news is I didn't include the ones with the MugenEngine. I also am not too keen on those either but I did get them anyways since the gestalt head sculpts are pretty well done. The only downside is you pretty much have to use the engine core with the gestalt heads. The four sets that have the engine block are:

Arctiger
Guardkong
Sagafalcon
Turbo Animal Force

The rest are like the earlier sets; one Mugenroid and Bine parts. It gets confusing because Bandai teamed up certain figures like Gear Tortoise and Guard Kong together to make "official" vehicle modes to try and get you to buy both sets. The four companion sets to the ones teamed witht he Mugen Engine sets are:

G- Geartortoise
I - Impactdile
S - Spitviper
W- Wingbat
These are IMO some of the best figures (with Geartortoise being my favorite Mugenbine figure of the entire Mugenbine series) the toyline has ever produced and shouldn't be overlooked. Only two figures, Impactdile and Wingbat, have components that use the engine, the other 2 don't.


Q - Questknight
R - Razorninja
S - Saveguman
These guys have a Turboroid instead of a Mugenroid. The are designed a little bit differently and have a bit more articulation than the Mugenroids. Their Bine parts are compatible with all sets. These were the first sets to have 3 combined modes—animal, vehicle, and super robot.

T - Teiouryu
U - Uzumakidori
W - Wanrikiguma
Y - Yutenma
Also known as the "Ride Bines" these figures are the first to have Mugenroids with three combined modes—animal, vehicle and super robot. Also the Mugenroid's vehicle mode was different. Instead of becoming a vehicle with the Bine parts, the parts became a vehicle that the Mugenroid could operate. Teiouryu also comes with a second, larger head so you can combine all of the Ridebines into a super robot.

Great write-up, Overbite. Some of those talked me into getting sets I already had. heh...though, I wasn't interesting in the Engine sets...but those darn commercials sold me on them.

Aoi

cant say i like the look of the turboroids (the ones with the wheels?) so im think im just going to keep to the early ones

Yup, the turboroids are the ones with the wheels.

Aoi

The Turboroids aren't that bad. I do prefer the Mugenroids though...

Yeah..I'd think the Turborods might be a smidge better if you could pop their heads up somehow, instead of having them at shoulders height.

Oh, and a few things about the Mugenbine ads I've been thinking about. There was two clips Quest Knight, and I think..but am not sure, Arctiger did a teleporation sort of thing. Was this actually a "Zone Tenkai"? I started thinking about this when Quest Knight did his, he ended up on a coliseum-styled place. And the other thing I'd like say about these ads...I want to see a MRR/Mugenbine video game. It'd be fun to play!

Aoi

what is a "zone Tenkai?"

*ive only watched episode 2 so far* when they do that zone thing the robots go into a sorta subspace arena to fight it out

Yup. Blitz has got it. the Zone Tenkai was developed for the MRR crew to practice, train and spar against in, to prevent damage to the outside world.


Aoi

thanks. I know what you guys are now talking about now. I only caught a couple of the first few eps of MMR. Just finished downloading the rest yesterday.

its funny...i LOVE the mugenbine stuff...but i have very little interest in MRR...i have the red wings d00d...and hes great...and i wanna get the Police car one...but other than that...like no interest.

Here immy, try this site it might just change your mind about the MRR toys!
http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown/2614/s...review/MRR.html
P.S. All those combos work, I've built most of them!

You might be able to pick the Police Robo up at HLJ Immy. I ordered them, the gyro and drill guys last month. Waiting for the drill guys to come in and the others are being shipped to me as I type.

looking at those MRR combination i think its safe to say that once you use 4 or more sets they sorta look like a mess same or MRM sets

I really have to disagree with you on that point! There are some great designs out there using 10+ sets, plus sometimes the pictures don't do the mechas justice!

As for the Mugenbine sets, some do look that way especially if each one is a different color; they look like a Jackson Pollack painting. But if you keep
them color coordinated and with a little planning, you can get some really cool looking robots to display.

I just finished listing all of my Mugenbine sets I'm letting go (which is most of them) up on eBay. Most start @ $9.99 and have reasonable Buy It Now prices as well.

Hey guys. I was thinking about the "What Mugenbine figures would you like to see?" and came up with a good set of Candy figures. What about Mugenbine figures styled after various sports? Mugenroid has pieces that can turn it into either a piece of sports equipment(baseball / bat, basketball, boxing ring/glove..) then can be switched into a vehicle or beast form?


Aoi

HA! HA! Made you look!
Seriously I couldn't let The Avatar and Gundam OO ( BARF!) stay on top any more!

any word yet on what the 2008 Mugenbines will be?

got the news the other day my mugen bine toys have arived so i will be picking them up on the week end

Not a bad idea, Aoi - beats my idea of having some combined Juuki Gattai / Buildroid sets. Would be cool to see maybe the odd one or two motorized sets as well; using either a pull-back or small battery motor which would be a similar size to the mugen engine blocks. Or how about another monster set like a base, but with one of each of the Roids (mugenroid, turboroid and buildroid)?

id like to see maybe warroirs from around the world so it would be a mix of knight, samurai and gladiator style heads and parts but... we kinda get that all ready if you hunt around

so i opened up my order from jc comics finding they only sent 4 of the 6 i bid on luckily i got 3 that i wanted out of the lot but still i hate having to hunt down the rest. i have a felling that they were sent in an other box since the box could only just fit the 4 toys but still its a pain having to e-mail around asking wtf happened to the other 3rd of my order

so who did you get and who are you waiting for?

lets see i got junk stag, heat tricera, buildraffet, fang tiger but on his ebay add it also shown the red lion and green gorilla and that a shame since the gorilla came with a nice set of hands still ive made a nice robot and godzilla style thing out of what ive got (id show pics but no camera)


so ive had them for a few hours now... my little cousins plays with them and within 4 mins they snap the arm of fang tigers little robot... f**kers ive not even had them for a day

so ive ordered my replacment fang tiger also this seller has the purple X guy and dig kong so i got them aswell to save on shipping

You got some pretty good figures. Too bad about Fangtiger though. I guess your cousins will have to wait until they are older to
play with these guys again.

yeah i think after that I'm just going to get assault Leon, Wing Bat and maybe the bug 2 pack and call it a day.

hey, any of you guys looking to get rid of a wolf kaiser or steedergon fury megazord for cheap?
not looking for charity, but the prices on these got too damn outrageous for me to try ebay.
any help would be great.

Think you're getting MRR and Power Rangers mixed up, Majin. But you never know if anyone here has them. Unfortunately, I don't - sorry

Anyhoo, have updated my Webshots pages with soome new pix, in case you folks want a peek:

www.webshots.com/user/Unclejoe420 - think that's the right addy.. lol

All I can say is... (We've all said that one before! )

Aerotiger looks cool, UncleJoe.

Aoi

Thanx Aoi!! I still have some more pix to upload; my combos of SpeedEagle/Attack Condor, Guard Kong/Powerful Tyranno, and another one which I can't remember off the top of my head. Am gonna work on a slightly bigger combo, using Chase Dober and the Turbo Animal Force set - which will hopefully turn out ok..

oh, I know the difference. I just figured that some of you guys might have some PR or sentai toys, given that it's all bandai.

Ok - my bad. Got to be honest though - would've loved to have got some of the Geki-Ranger bits myself; if only they had not been discontinued on HobbyLink Japan..

lol thats how my TFs started but im not a fan of the turboroids, motor based ones and the ones that dont seem to have any sort of core unit too flashy i think

Hi guys!
"Happy Holidays" to everyone who celebrates them and "Good day" to everyone else! A special welcome to "Blitz", enjoy our little cult we have going here! The gangs really nice, just don't drink the punch!
Haven't had any time to create a new gattai, but last night I got a bug and stayed up till 3am putting this puppy together! ( Of course I didn't start it till 10:30pm! ) Totally lost track of time, one minute it was 10:30 then bang! Its 3am!!!
Which brings us to todays question: Do you guys find that time flies when you're building Mugenbines? My answer is "YES!"
Well here he is!
AS TIGER!! (ArchSpeed Tiger) He's a combination of Arch Tiger and 2 Speed Eagles. ENJOY!

Nice work Cheese - will have to try and have a go at that combo myself. My only prob is that I have one normal Speed Eagle, and the other from the DFD set - just hope i can mod the design so the colours don't look all screwy on my version!!

Sorry to do a double post folks, but thought I should show off these two little beauts I've put together, based on a design I've seen online (will post a link later). Behold - Blue Justice 2 and Red Justice!!

cool combos there Cheese and Uncle Joe. We should set up a little Mugenbine contest and see who can come up with the best original combos using specific sets. Also has anybody heard of any news on what is happening with Mugenbine next year? Shouldn't we have heard by now of what Bandai is doing? Or has another of my beloved lines from Japan been cancelled (Microman Microforce).

I'm on a roll guys! Heres another creation...

DESTROYER VISHNU!
