were they notifying you that they were shipping your order out or that the Dark Dragon Castle is in stock?

not to pry, but what was your order number? im curious to see if youre number is above or below mine.

either way i did as was suggested before and sent Amenbo a message thru paypal, i was very nice about it...just wabted them to know that i havent been able to contact them and its been 18 days since i last heard from them...i hope they get back to me soon.

also, i just opened up the Saga Falcon set...not my fave but its pretty darn cool. My only real complaint is that SigSphinx doesnt really have an animal mode.

not to post twice in a row, but theres a pic of the new Mammoth figure up on prominence...heres a link

http://senpuuji-gai.hp.infoseek.co.jp/cgi-...70125224601.jpg

looks pretty cool.

Well spotted Jimmy; but I think that it is a combo of the Juuki Gattai Mugen Builder and a Powerful Tyranno. Still looks pretty cool though!!

They were informing me that the item was in stock, they'd received my payment and would be shipping that order in a few days, The 28th to be exact (which is Bandai's official release date. Most retailers get their stock a few days before the release date but can't ship it until such date.) This order was placed on December 8th according to my records.
I have a feeling that the shipping method you choose may have a direct effect as to how soon your order is processed. ( I'm only guessing here.) It would make sense that the faster the delivery service you select the faster that order is expedited from the warehouse, because you are paying to get it faster. AGAIN THIS IS ONLY SPECULATION, NOT THEIR ACTUAL PROCEDURE!!

The picture you see on Prominence is NOT Build Mammoth. The person was trying to reproduce what he thought it would look like. It is stated that a picture has shown up in Dengeki Hobby magazine, though I haven't seen it yet.

Well, I ordered my Speed Eagle to be sent via EMS, and my payment for it went through almost a month ago - and I haven't heard much since. I did get an email via paypal from them saying that they are almost finished with their mass sort-out (which was posted on their site), so fingers crossed they may actually ship my item soon, but I ain't gonna hold my breath..

Same here. I ordered my shipment to be sent EMS.

Oh well, so much for that theory!

Look whats happening here in Chicago!

Thats from the Mugenbine Homepage! What a hoot, to see Chicago's skyline in a Mugenbine promo picture! GO BEARS!!!!

Huh. Considering the mayhem going around on the background of the picture, it makes me wonder if the recent Mugenbine guys are still involved in rescue. ^_^;

Aoi

Anyone know if the Dragons in the Four Dragon Legend sets have names? Or if theres a name for the combined form? i have a set on order from Fan2Fan (thanks for the heads up on that, btw =]) and i wanna know what to call it =]

Does any body want to trade for mugenbines?
I've only got MRR and tfs to trade, but I'm desperate for more mugenbines...

Good news everyone - my Speed Eagle has finally been shipped from Amenbo!! So I will be getting 2 parcels next week, instead of one (am also waiting for a GM Sniper Gundam)

Here are the Four Dragons names the last one being the gattai's name.


* Mugen Rairyu - White/red winged dragon of Thunder turns into MugenBow
* Mugen Chiryu - Black dragon of Earth turns into MugenShuriken
* Mugen Enryu - Red Dragon of Flame turns into MugenRam weapon.
* Mugen Suiryu - Blue dragon of water turns into MugenHammer

* Mugen Ryuu-Oh - Four Dragons united around the Mugenroid

Cosmo, I'd like to ask...
Would you happen to know the name of that one Keybots set that Blackfeathers reviewed?
It's a gattai with a peacock, saw fish, beetle, rhino, and bull...

The gattai you're looking at is the Keybots candy toy set, AnimaBattras!
It consists of:
1- Luck Jack the Peacock who becomes Luck Shield in weapon mode. He also forms the body. His key is the "Luck" key. (Do you see where this is going?)
2- SpeedShark the Shark who becomes Shark Sword in weapon mode. He forms one of the arms. His key is... the "Speed" key! (You guessed it!)
3- Attack Kabuto the Beetle who becomes Beetle Claw in weapon mode. He forms the other arm. His key is the "Attack" key.
4- IntBuffas the Bull who becomes Bull Harpoon in weapon mode. He forms a leg. His key is the "Intelligence" key. (A bull as intelligence go figure!)
5- DefRhinok the Rhino who becomes Rhino Spear in weapon mode. He is the other leg. His key is the "Defense" key.
Each animal comes with a "Smallbot" rider which can be used as a missle on Ankylon.

Combined they form AnimaBattras!

This may seem like an odd question, but what is the poseability like with these KeyBots? Are the just jointed at the shoulders and hips, or are they a bit more flexible? In any case, that AnimaBattras looks pretty damn cool!!

There is no movement to the hips but everything else is pretty poseable!
Check out this link for a full pictorial! Don't forget to check out the second page!
http://www.hcn.zaq.ne.jp/blackfeathers/gangu/key-ab/

Cosmo, what are the keys used for? Is it like Cybertron where it opens up weapons? Are they used for transforming the object? to "unlock it" so you can take it apart?

The Keybots have an four sided "core" that their parts plug and lock into. When you insert the key and turn, the parts unlock and fly off!

This is what the core looks like.
You can swap parts, link them together its fun!

thanks for the info. I am sure they are fun.

Thanks!
Very in-depth info there...
All I knew was what their keys represented...
AnimaBattras is a luckyspeedypowerfulintelligentdefensive gattai.
Very nice...
And he looks pretty poseable too...

anyone know what these are?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Mugenbine-Candy-toys-s...9QQcmdZViewItem

Thats the very first Mugenbine candy toy. Not as impressive as Emperor or Dragon but still nice for your collection. Especially at that price!

Plus, I guess that if you already have the sets that make up this robot, it may make getting this Candy Toy set kinda redundant....

Ahh cool...i think i am gonna grab that...thanks for the info.

Also, my orders from Amenbo have shipped...and i am NOT happy. They shipped both of my orders together, instead of Seperately, even though i had to pay shipping for each of them...almost $80 in shipping costs...definately never ordering from them again unless its an emergency.

Sorry to hear about your probs with Amenbo, Jimmy - I too may end up just sticking to HLJ.com; even though they charge slightly more for the items themselves, I do end up paying a lot less for delivery via EMS. Anyway, the next few bits I want to order I can't get from Amenbo anyway..

Okay, I've kept my mouth shut long enough.
I'm glad you whining little Protectobots are not ordering from Amenbo. I for one am sick of listening to you!

Stacksup, you didn't have to pay shipping seperately, if you had planned your orders better! This is your fault not theirs! Contact them and tell them you want a refund for the difference in shipping. I'm sure they'll oblige.

This is goodbye from me! I can't stand listening to you Powerglide ups any longer!

Yes I've had a bad day and you guys are the last straw!

is there a reason you're taking your anger out on us..well me specifically? i mean...not to be a dick but complaining about whining? WELCOME TO THE INTERNET~!

and if i knew in ADVANCE that they were gonna have the sale on star convoy i would have waited and placed ONE order instead of 2 orders a week apart.

my next piece of business, i finally opened the Turbo Animal Force set and the Insect Double set...both are AWESOME.

I ordered a few things from the person selling the first Mugenbine candy toys set. I should be receiving them next week...but I was wanting to wait till I ordered from them twice (or thrice. )before I gave it a thumbs up or a thumbs down. I'm kind of planning on getting the candy set with my next order. Wonder if the candy is still edible?

Anyways, guess we'll be saying bye to Mr. Gee. (considering his reaction, I wonder if he works for Amenbo. Kidding, kidding. Hope your day'll get better...or if not, that tomorrow will be better.)

Anyhow, I'm glad you guys kept us up-to-date with your dealings of Amenbo. I'm not exactly letting it sway my decision, but I'll certainly try and keep some of this stuff in mind whenever I get around to shopping there. (There's not many places I know of that sell Mugenbine, so I don't want to swear off one that might come in handy later!)

Aoi

seriously, does anyone want to trade for mugenbines?
I have some MRR and hasbro commemerative TF for trade, as well as a MOC cybertron armorhide.

Please... I need more mugenbine...

Ok, that's enough whining from me - just wish we could've kept it civil enough for everyone.. Sorry for pissing you off Mr Gee; wasn't my intention. Am starting to regret ever opening my pie-hole now..

Which kind of pie-hole is it, Unclejoe? Chocolate..cherry..or Mincemeat? (and that's all the pies I can think of, off hand..doh.)

I wouldn't worry too much about the whining. The last comment you made was far from whining, I think. (Can't really buy anything if they don't have anything in stock that you're interested in.)

Immy's complaint, is a bit more grey. It wasn't Immy's fault and it wasn't exactly Amenbo's fault either. Sales are pretty unpredictable. Since they shipped at the same time, I'd try contacting them through Paypal (
) and see if they'll take off some of the bite of the shipping. Although, just to give fair warning; if they shipped them in two boxes instead of one; there might not be a whole lot you can do. I had ordered something from Amazon, that required two boxes, and got hit with shipping for both. Hope ya can get it worked out!

Anyways guys, I'm just gonna suggest..if you got a complaint and want to complain or whine here, go for it! We're a pretty good bunch that won't normally let a bad day affect our postings. (Just a warning, Joe...if I have bad day, I'll knock ya out, take your Gattai Orders and make scans. Kidding kidding, of course.)

Anywho, looking forward to completing the Ridebine team this weekend, woo!

Aoi

i too am sorry if i was whineing...its just my nature to get a little Emo and paranoid and whiney when stuff happens or i feel ripped off...it wasnt my intention to piss anyone off...and stuff.

so i figured id ask...anyone know anywhere i could find an Evorhinoce, Iron Beetle, or Launchersaurus? theyre pretty much the only sets i need now...well them and the Emperor candy toy set. (also im not interested in getting the store exclusive sets, though the TRU set of the first 3 is really nice)

Thanks for that comment Aoi - kinda cheered me up a bit!! Anyway, was half tempted to make a start on getting doubles of my Mugenbine sets, and was wondering if anyone else has already done the same? I know I have to get a new Wanrikiguma, since my current one has a peg missing, and I was considering getting the Juuki Gattai sets again. Which reminds me - I still haven't made a start on making a monster robot - DOH!!!

No problem, guys.

I'm kind of considering on getting another Xenobine, since mine broke...but I might try gluing the part that broke back together, first.

Rosalinda108, the seller with the first candy toy set, had an Iron Beetle for BIN, but it's sold out. Hopefully they'll get more in stock. Wonder if I should post up my latest Mugenbine wishlist?

Aoi

Go right ahead Aoi - it wouldn't surprise me if we all have similar things we're after getting hold of!!

BTW, i did happen to spot a few mugenbine bits on ebay yesterday:

http://search.stores.ebay.com/mugenbine_W0...ssPageNameZWD1S

yeah ive order'd a bunch of stuff from Rosalindas store and the other one thats got some good 'bine sets...thursday when i get my next check, im buying a few more stuff...need the fire, police, and beetle Juuki Gattai sets, as well as a Powernose, and i MIGHT get Energy Rhino and Assault Leon.

i am excited though, ive got like 4 things due in the mail this week, 3 are boxes of Mugenbine sets, and one is a couple of the HappyWell ROADBOTS...hehe its like...x-mas in january lol

Here's my next (couple of..) Mugenbine orders, then. I'm not sure which way to go through.

Assault Leon, Energy Rhino, Great Rex and Heat Tricera, I think will be my next order

then maybe...Powernose w/Zord Elephant, followed up with Police and Fire....then finally Victory Leon w/Mugen Hercules.


Along with the little candy kit, with either purchase. (First one, I suppose. Then I can compare the real sets with the candy set.)

Then I'll start working on the newer stuff like the Insector Combo, and then Powerful Tyranno or Speed Eagle. ^_^;;

Hi, my name is Aoi, and I'm addicted to little robot figures known as Mugenbine...

Aoi

Hey Cosmo, I am sorry to hear that you left. I hope that I didn't come off as whiny but if you look at my posts I had said that I used Amenbo many times and was very happy with their service in the past. I understand why the service was slow since you stated they were upgrading their inventory systems plus they were off for about a week for New Years and they had to deal with Christmas sales. I can speak only for myself but I was never attacking you for recommending Amenbo nor was I complaining about their service being bad; just that it was a little slower than usual. I hope you reconsider coming back to this forum because your knowledge, help, and information of Machine Robo Toys greatly contributed to this (possibly hijacked) thread.

majin tahu, not to harp on you or anything dude, but can you contribute something better to this thread instead of always begging people to trade Mugenbine figures with you? Put up a want list in The End Cap. Or at least put your wish to trade at the end of something meaningful. Oh and no, I don't have any Mugenbine figures that I wish to trade for Transformers.

Thanks for the link Uncle Joe. It figures that there would be a seller with 3 Build Mammoths for sale after I ordered one off of eBay. Oh well. I finally got the last of the sets I need except for the last 2 Toys R Us Japan sets (Red & White A,B,C, & the repaint 3 Musketeer sets).

Stackups Immy, Iron Beetle & Launcher Zaurus are probably the some of the hardest to find. I've only seen Iron Beetle twice on eBay and LZ once. Evorhinoce is a little bit easier but not by much. Your best bet is to search eBay internationally or try Yahoo! Japan. The only downside to YJ is you have to use an intermediary which makes it more expensive. Also Cosmo said that the beetle Juuki Gattai and mammoth Juuki Gattai are pretty hard to find because Bandai made fewer of them because the Police & Fire Juuki Gattai sets didn't sell as well.

Hopefully the pics of the new Mugenbines will be up soon.

I do have an end cap topic. it's here.
and noone has responded to it.
the MRR figs are in good condition, with one minor exception, plus I have hasbro reissue TFs.

well i got my hands on an Iron beetle and a Launchersaurus thanks to the guy from FantoFan...$16 a piece...not bad considering this is probably gonna be my only chance to get my hands on them.

now to find an Evorhinoce and ill be alllllll good. =]

congrats on finding Iron Beetle & Launcher Zaurus Immy. Both are pretty cool figs. Do you have Inter Beetle & Lead Zaurus?

i have Lead Saurus, the Insect Double set, and ive got the blue beetle, who i wanna call Junkstag but im not sure thats right, coming in the mail =]

According to the Mugenbine Orders book I got, that blue stag beetle is called JunkStag, but most places that sell it call it Kuwagata Dozer for some reason..

maybe Kuwagata dozer is a reference to its vehicle form

I think you are right.
The Iron/Inter Beetle is one of my favorites.

im definately gonna try and make THIS when i get Hercules in the mail..but i cant figure put what other figure hes combined with...help? =]

Think the Hercules is combined with the Quest Knight set to make that bot in your link, Immy - still looks pretty cool though!!

My Speed Eagle arrived today; quite like the chunkiness of these new sets, to be honest. Will have fun trying to find loads of different combos with my other Mugenbine bits!

Yeah, I agree with uncle Joe; it looks like Quest Knight. Mugen Hercules is my favorite of the Gatti Base sets.
I made a pretty cool bot with the Saga Falcon and Mugen Fire. I'll have pics up in a bit...

Speed Eagle, Powerful Tyranno, Over Ligan, and a 2nd Insect Double set came in the mail today

Speed Eagle is awesome...such a cool looking figure
