Anyone know the name of the Arch Tiger - Guard Kong - Impact Dile combo?

I was asking myself the same thing last summer. I probablly would have had a mugen Builder too (the only set I am missing )

Immy, I don't think they have a name for the combined mode unlike some of the others. If there is one I'm sure Cosmo would know.

s'all good...i just have to think of a cool name hehe

also...do any of you guys know how to get in touch with Amenbo? the email form they have isnt working and they still havent gotten in touch with me about my tyranno and eagle order...and it seems like theyre the only place on the net thats selling them =[

immy,
The name for the Arch Tiger, Guard Kong & Impact Dile combination roughly translates to "ZOO CREATION ROBO" according to the MugenWorld website. I'm very rusty I could be wrong but I know I'm close.
As for Amenbo, have you checked your order status in the members area first? I have no other way of contacting them unless... here try the Japanese inquiry page see if it will work. Its the same as the old english page just type in the same info. https://www.amenbo.com/cgi-bin/members/inquery.cgi
Hope this helps.

yeah, i keep checking my order status...it says: "status order received" and the "expected ship date" keeps going up day by day.

could the fact that i chose the cheapest shipping method (some type of air mail) be affecting the time its taking them to process it?

and thanks for the name...Zoo Creation Robo actually sounds good. =]

EDIT: tried the japanese inquiry form...that worked. wasnt sure what to set the subject to so i left it default.

Like I said in an earlier post, I think many companies had Mon-Thurs off for New Years celebration. They may just be swamped with tons of orders. I'd give it another week to see what is going on.

yeah...i just get all impatient and paranoid about stuff sometimes...cause i see the stock levels for those figures falling and im afirad theyll be out of stock before they get to me =[

ill give them the benefit of the doubt though...i just placed another order with them for some other stuff i was looking for...taking advantage of the sale theyre having and picked up CRYOTEK and re-issue STAR CONVOY for $64!

opened Spirit Cobra and the Saga Falcon Sets today...both are AWESOME. MRM has made me so happy to be a collector...Fire Wolf a Build Mamoth cant be release quick enough for me...lol =]

I still got those MRR sets, if anybody wants them...
I only need galaxy rex and heat tricera...

I too am looking forward to at least seeing pix of the Build Mammoth and the Fire Wolf. Hopefully, they may even do repaints of the Juuki Gattai sets (which would be a damned good idea). Am still not sure what to call the little robots from the Powerful Tyranno and Speed Eagle (which is on back-order from Amenbo)..

The pilots from Powerful Tyranno and Speed Eagle are called "Roiders". Thats all I know.
But... with the introduction of such a blattant human element this would be a good time to think "maybe its time for an anime".
Just a thought of course.

I knew about the pilots called Roiders (as long as their first names aren't Emma - lol), but i was curious if there was a generic term for the smaller bots you can make from each set, since the other bots were called Mugenroids / Turboroids. These new ones might be called Buildroids, since there seems to be a bit of a build / construction theme going... but I could be wrong

How are Digkong and Kaiser Condor because I just got those on eBay? Are they pretty good fodder for arms and shoulder pieces?

Check out this picture of what you can do with DigKong and KaiserKondor. http://nmb.nobody.jp/mmg/gee/gee_051104.jpg
Of course theres two of each in there but you get the general idea.

As to the question about the new guys, as far as I can find the robot modes are referred to as "basic" and "enhanced". Powerful Tyranno's robot name is "Musha Warrior" and Speed Eagles name is "Knight Warrior".

Here are two new creations using MRR sets Fire and Blizzard and MRM Powerful Tyranno and Speed Eagle.

Yeah they are. Digkong is one of my personal favorites of the entire line. Kaiser Condor is pretty similar to Carryeagle with a different Mugenroid head, truck trailer and gestalt head. Other than those differences, he has identical parts as Carryeagle.
I made this guy with Digkong, Savegunman & Kaisercondor:




Cosmo773, how do you like Powerful Tyranno and Speed Eagle? think we can get a mini review of them?

http://www.geocities.jp/hetare_d_max/galle...Build_PtSe.html

I don't know if you guys have seen those pics, but yeah.
I personally like the Speed Eagle.

Hi Guys,
A Mugenbine commercial was just posted on YouTube yesterday, its worth checking out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCpzTtShTPs
I'll be back with full reviews of the new line as soon as my life settles down. Just give me a few days.

Haha. The music in the commercial was a bit on the annoying side, but the commercial itself was pretty awesome. I love the little scampering noise they used for the 'Roider.

Aoi

"Bine, bine, Mugenbine!"
"Bine, bine, Mugenbine!"
"Bine, bine, Mugenbine!"

Wonder if it's possible to download that video? Or if Bandai will post any mugenbine vids on their site? In either case, I think I may have to start work on some little animtations of my own!!

thanks Frosty. Those pics were cool enough that I just caved in and ordered Speed Eagle & Powerful Tyranno from Amenbo.

If you're running Firefox, you can get the VideoDownloader extension, and it'll save it down to an flv file.

I'm planning on ordering a Zoids kit or two for a friend of mine, for helping me get my chair home. Just to keep care of the shipping, which should I get? Powerful Tyranno or Speed Eagle?

Aoi

I personally like Speed Eagle best. Standing alone it looks best in all three modes. Powerful Tyranno is kinda "iffy " in machine mode, but thats my opinion. Do you like your mecha to look smooth and clean, like Speed Eagle or industrial and heavy like Powerful Tyranno?

I went to Target and bought two of the Power Ranger Transmax Vehicles set A and C (left and right in pic)

and when I got home Digkong and Kaiser Condor were on my porch, Booyah a double header! I immediately started building and to my hope most of the Transmax parts fit on the Mugenbine. The fit is slightly tighter than the regular Bine' parts so you gotta use some good force to get it to snap together. My favorite Vehicles gotta be the Green Mixer and Purple Crane reminiscent of Constructicons. I'm gonna go back and get the set B and make some Yuusha Gattai!

Congrats, Gerwalk25_Strike!

Glad y'like both the Mugenbine figs and the PR cousins.

I've ran into a bit of a problem...does anyone know how well at restocking Amenbo is? I just went on to do some price figuring, and they were sold out of Death Emperor VS Mugen Emperor, as well as all the Zoids kits I was looking into.

Aoi

Amenbo is not the greatest at restocking. I'm pretty sure you can kiss the Mugen Emperor vs. Death Emperor set goodbye as the new Four Dragons Legend set is about to be released!
They do keep up with their Zoids selection though, as that is how they got their start and reputation as one of the best zoids shops around. It all depends if you are looking at a current line of toys or older series. Unlike American toy companies, the Japanese make a certain number of their product and thats it. ( Unless its Gundam crap and then they go nuts!) Just keep checking back with them. You may be surprised.

Speaking of the new candy toy "The Four Dragons Legend", Mugenbine Wharf has started his review of the toys here: http://mbwharf.hp.infoseek.co.jp/
Just go to the link dated 01-09-2007 to start from the first page. More pages are to follow I'm sure.
Aoi,
Check with Ryan at Fan2Fan and see if he can get a hold of the Mugen Emperor vs. Death Emperor set. He's located here: http://www.fantofan.jp/

I'm hoping Ryan from Fan2Fan can drop me a line soon, as he's supposed to be holding onto a Zord Elephant for me!! I'm assuming that he's still looking out for other sets I and a few other need!!

Hopefully my Speed Eagle will ship from Amenbo today - am definitely looking forward to laying my mitts on it! And yeah, it is a shame that Amenbo no longer have the Mugen Emperor / Death Emperor set in stock, as I was eyeing that one up too -

Haha! No problem.




Hmm... Well Aoi, if I were you, I'd get the Speed Eagle.
I must agree with Cosmo on his point... I'm more fond of the sleek-fastness of the Speed Eagle than the bulky and... Powerful look of... Powerful Tyranno. XD

Well, am starting to get a bit worried, as the shipping date of my Speed Eagle from Amenbo keeps slipping back. Was wondering if they have a set day just to ship items, or whether they go as and when they are packed?

As for saving the Mugenbine ad, VideoDownloader worked like a ruddy charm!!

UncleJoe,
Take a valium! They will ship the product when they have it packed. Sometimes they have to go to one of their other three warehouses to gather everything together. I know it can be nerve racking when dealing with a new company. (Which is why I don't do anything with E-Bay, it makes me a total wreck!) I've never been disappointed by them in all the years I've dealt with them. Be happy that you know you're going to get it! HLJ isn't even listing them! Till then just chill. Trust me.

Cosmo, how is the quality of the candy toy Mugenbines? Is the plastic pretty flimsy? Will the pegs snap off? I am just wondering if I should buy them or not.

The candy toys are surprisingly good for the price! I've never had any broken pegs. loose joints, or any of the other problems that plague most normal toy lines. The plastic is good and solid not a flimsy vinyl or such. All connections are solid, to both the candy toy line and the regular Mugenroids. A word of warning though the candy is HORRIBLE!!!!

Ooebi's Hobby has posted a nice pictorial of the new Mugenbines here: http://ooebihara.sakura.ne.jp/

Didin't think you were buying those things for the candy.. lol. Best stick with some Pocky, Cosmo!!

Which reminds me - must upload those pix of my latest combo model from my digital camera...

As for taking some Valium - anyone got any?

its ok Unclejoe, i too, am freaking out over amenbos shipping...

its weird, HLJ's had me waiting for a week for something to ship too...the japanese stores are definately not like bbts or Jrstoyworld...those guys ship it out almost the same day you order.

on a brighter note, i got Digkong and Machptera in the mail the other day...Machptera is AWESOME...the race car looks badass...i currently have him displayed with Transformers classics Mirage and Transformers energon Prowl...they look good together.

Not a bad idea, Jimmy - never thought of putting them on display together. Will have to give it a try, once i got enough space.. hehehe

hmmm that is a good idea. You could put Dig Kong with RID Grimlock, G1 Scavenger and Energon Steamhammer too
I agree Machpetra is pretty cool. Plus he can sorta sit up in beast form.

Just curious of those of you that got the candy figures, the candy is supposed to taste horrible but what is it supposed to taste like?

Just a heads up, while on Rinka (which is a site for non Japanese residents to bid on Yahoo! Japan auctions) I came across a seller who has listed some of the harder to find Mugenbines for sale like: Evo Rhinoceros, Galaxy Rex, Iron Beetle, Launcher Saurus, Victory Leon, and Zord Elephant to name a few. I believe the figures were opened for display purposes and they don't seem to have their applied either. They are going pretty cheap...

Can't really comment on the candy in the Mugenbine figs, but most of the Japanese candy toys I've picked up has a small-ish sugar tablet that has a slight lemony taste. (I like them, with an exception of one Transformers Candy Toy set I picked up. Instead if being Candy, it was some icky tasting chewing gum.)

Aoi

Its Alka-Seltzer without the fizz!

The people on the Prominence BBS are starting to use the new Mugenbine candy toys in their creations, check them out! They look cool to me! Now who's going to carry them?

HOLY CRAP!!!
ME WANT!

Got to admit, am sorely tempted to grab this candy toy set once it's available, but I'm gonna wait till my already ordered stuff turns up first. That way if Amenbo gets this set in AND the Mugen Emperor / Death Emperor set arrives back in stock, I can order all of them at once!!

Also, reckon they will probably release a repainted version fo this new 4 Dragons set eventually too.

I wonder if San Francisco Japantown markets Mitsuwa and Uoki would carry those?

It is worth checking out. I haven't been up there for a long time so I don't know. The Mitsuwa Marketplace store in San Jose usually just stocks Gundam figures.

If only we had a comic shop in Stevenage - let alone one that stocks Mugenbine stuff!!
Guess I'll have to make do with thrashing my wallet on the 'net then!!

Very neat, I don't plan on missing out on this candy set!

Aoi

hey, anyone have any ideas or pics of combos that use Gear Tortoises AWESOME guns as weapons?

This Combo was called "GuardGear VICTORY" I originally used his guns as guns, but in the final version they became part of his staff.

Nice combo, Cosmo - am especially jealous, as you have a Victory Leon!!
Must remember to upload my last lot of pix from my camera over the next few days!!
