still awaiting my speed eagle and powerful tyranno to be shipped from amenbo. I hope they send them out soon.

Think I'm gonna order another Mugen Hercules and a Wanrikiguma next from HLJ, since I want to build a robot to fight this one I made below. Since I don't have the Juuki Gattai Mugen Builder set, then I will have to go for another Mugen Hercules - which will at least make the combo bot I want to build look pretty cool (black and red colour-scheme).

Pretty cool Unlce Joe

There was a seller on eBay that had 3 of the Juuki Gattai Mugen Builder Sets you need Uncle Joe. Why not buy one from them?

I actually bought one of their Mugen Builders, when I got Uzumakidori...I should be receiving it tomorrow. (hopefully!) I think it only took about two weeks to ship, if it gets here tomorrow.

They seem to be a pretty good seller to deal with. As soon as I get paid tomorrow, I'm planning on ordered another batch of stuff from them.

Aoi

if your talking about Rosalinda, yeah theyre really great to deal with...the 20% off if you order 3 or more MRM sets is really nice...i just got my order from them in the mail earlier...the 3 RideBines (i already have Yuutenma), and the 3 Muskateers.

The order i just placed with them is for a Juuki Gattai Mugen Hercules, Fire, Police, Zord Elephant, and Powernose. Soon as i get more money (my birthdays soon), im gonna order Assault leon and Energy Rhino from them.

the other dealer on ebay named Sasky Market also has some good stuff for sale as well.

aside from store exclusices which i dont care about, in about 2 months ive managed to get almost a complete mugenbine collection...as it stands im 3 figures short.

im glad transformers are in a pre-movie lull so i had alot of extra cash for once =]

Well, I will try and drop some sublte hints to my folks, as my birthday too is fast approaching - fingers crossed they get the hint!!

im pretty sure this pic was posted in this treahed a buncha pages back...im curious if any of you have more pics of it? preferably of the back...i really love the way it looks and wanna make it =]

I've tried making that, Immy - it does make for quite an imposing combo robot, as it stands a lot taller than the normal double combos!! Was just wondering if anyone has tried combining 2 of the Mugen Sector Double sets yet?

Yeah I ordered my Mugen builder from Sasky Market. Hopefully he will be sending it out tomorrow. With that I will only need the two of the three tru sets and the black airleon to complete my back issue toys. I'm not going to get any straight duplicates of the figures. Then it will be to focus on new releases of this line.

Uncle Joe here are some pics of the two insect sets combined together. And one where they are combined with Mugen Hercules:

That's cool, Overbite! I was going to only get the Combo set, but now that y'showed this...I'm highly tempted to get the original duo, as well.

Anyways, Immy, I was wondering since you've used Rosalinda's Trading Post before; how do they ship their items? would it be EMS, UPS, FedEx or something along those lines? If it's Postal, I can still expect to get it by tomorrow.

Anyways, I've just bought Energy Rhinos, Assault Leon, Great Rex and Heat Tricera from Rosalinda. Just gotta wait till I get the amount for it. (I was going to get the Candy toys, but the auction ended...so I suppose if they don't put them back up until after I pay for the set, I'll have to get those after the next paycheck.)

So, what's the different between Great Rex and Galaxy Rex?

Aoi

im actually not quite sure how it was shipped...all i know is it came in a box and i had to sign for it...but i was asleep so my mom signed...they were packaged nice, and came in good condition.

Sounds like it might of been postal, then. FedEx/UPS here doesn't require you to sign...so here's to hoping it arrives tomorrow.

I'm thinking I might have to reel in my Mugenbine purchases, though. Things in the air at work are kinda funny feeling, so I might have to start putting alot more money towards my credit card bill, so if anything happens, at least I'll have it paid down.

I suppose I could limit myself to one or two Mugenbine purchases per month? What d'ya'll think?

Aoi

Well, that's pretty similar to how I buy my stuff, Aoi - that way it gives you time to catch up with not only new items which come out, but other sets that are missing from your collection.

That's true, UncleJoe. Never did think about that.

Anyhow, I just recieved Uzumakidori and Mugen Builder. Haven't taken them out of their packaging yet...in fact, my story is very very similar to Immy's now.

The mailman that delivered it, woke me up. This is actually the first time I've received mail from the Post so early. It's usually after 1 p.m. before it's delivered. Got the shipping box open, but that's about it. I'm a still a bit asleep, haha.

Well, my initial impressions; yay! Got my first Juuki Gattai set...although, Juuki Gattai Mugen Builder is suuuch a big name for a little guy.
Granted, I haven't removed him from the packaging yet...but from all the pics I've seen, and heard ya'll talk about them, I thought he'd be huuuuuge.

Oh well, enough typing! I'm gonna go grab a shower and get woke up some more, then start playing!

Aoi

Am getting dead envious of all you folks with the Mugen Builder set - am still waiting to hear from Ryan at FantoFan in the vain hope that he can find me one!!

Anyway, at least I've ordered the Wanrikiguma and Mugen Hercules to pad out my collection a bit, and to also help me make a start on assembling one stonkin' great Mugenbine mecha!! Have to beat my current best of 35cms tall (see pic I posted on the previous page)

Aoi,
The difference between them is the color scheme and the extra weapons. In this case Great Rex comes with 2 sword blades. Assault Leon and Energy Rhinos both come with a pair of extra guns. Also, the Juuki Gattai Mugen sets are pretty well packed. As for size, I think Juuki Gattai Mugen Builder is bigger than say Zord Elephant and maybe bigger than Turbo Animal force but this is just speculation since I don't have it yet.

Also I'd pay off the credit card too. One-two a month is pretty reasonable and is what I try to do. (says the guy who ordered [b]3[b/] last month.

Why Wait? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1

I still haven't had a chance to play with them yet. Decided to clean up my room before I do anything else. ^_^;; but when I open 'em up, it'll be worth it!

Aoi

Aoi,
Do you have the other Juuki Gattai Mugen sets?

Nope! Juuki Gattai Mugen Builder is my first. I had planned on getting Police or Fire back when Amenbo had them in stock, but then they sold out...so when I saw Mugen Builder on eBay (which was before Rosalinda Trading Post put up Police and Fire) I decided to hop on it, then I could say I have at least one of them.

Anyways, I'm glad I got these guys...although, I'm glad I got Uzumakidori last. If he'd been one of my first figures, I don't think I would of continued collecting. There's just something about him that feels off. (Not sure if it's from Bandai Asia, instead of Bandai Japan..) but Mugen Builder is from Bandai Asia too, and he feels like the rest of my Mugenbine sets. Anyways, since I've cleaned my room; I've spent most of the day playing with Builder. I really really like him. I'm certainly going to work on the rest of the Juuki Gattai sets. (I don't see why they didn't sell well. They're awesome!)

Any how, here's one of my original designs I came up with Mugen Builder.
(It's hard to see in the picture...but it's a pencil/pen box! )




Aoi

im glad i went crazy and spent all my savings on grabbing as many sets as possible, but boy am i gonna be happy when im just buying one or 2 sets a month, with all the Transformers movie stuff coming out, AND all the Ring of Honor shows (thats the wrestling company i follow up and down the east coast with my friends) coming up...my wallets gonna hate me lol

im in love with Speed Eagle...such an awesomely engineered figure. Even Powerful tyranno is awesome. Though i do miss the Core figures, i like this direction theyre taking.

Unfortunately, I will have to go for the sets on ebay via a third person, as I don't have my ebay and paypal accounts linked yet. Still, I guess the sets on ebay could be brought as a birthday present for me; I will have to scribble down the item details and drop some heavy hints to my folks!!

That is a cool pen/pencil holder there Aoi. I have two figures from Bandai Asia—Iron Beetle & Launcher Zaurus. They seem to be Japanese overstock with stickers covering the Japanese contact info and english instructions. The figures seem to be the same quality as the other figures from Japan that I have. Sorry to hear that your Uzumakidori is "off". You could always buy a Japanese one and take the "off" one to work...
Also you made me pull my Uzumakidori out of storage and put it on display...

I believe I promised you some pics of robots I created:

Yeah..I'm kind of tempted to take part Uzumakidori's leg apart and see why his foot hinge is so loose feeling..but that'll have to be after awhile. I currently have the three Gattai'd. (and I reaally like the look of the gattai mode.)

Just wondering..what's the big face on Mugen Builder for? It's not used in any of his individual combined modes.

Aoi

All of them have a big face. Hercules has two big heads. It is so you can make even bigger robots with porportionate heads.

I found the top pics off some Mugenbine sites

edit: I couldn't find a pic on the internet of the 2 heads so I snapped this one of herc's 2 heads.
I don't know why the one on the right is so popular; I actually like the look of the one on the left more.

well, amembo has finally shiiped my launcher zaurus, so Im all excited!

now, I just need someone willing to trade for questnight, laserninja, and savegunman...

Well, hopefully I won't have to wait too long until HLJ get my Mugen Hercules and Wanrikiguma in stock and send them - have already got a few good ideas of how to combine 2 Mugen Hercules and my Turbo Animal Force set Also, has anyone else noticed how each of the bigger heads in the Juuki Gattai sets has a large M on them?

On another note, it's also nice to find out I have a fellow ROH fan here - nice one Immy!!

Amenbo has Launcher Zaurus (white & black)? Or do you mean Lead Zaurus (blue)? (it is easy to get them mixed up).
When did you order LZ? I am still waiting for Powerful Tyranno & Speed Eagle sets from them.
LZ is a pretty cool figure. I do like the fact that Lead Zaurus has the extra guns so it is easier to make the big robot mode for him.

Also got my Mugen Builder in the mail from Sasky Market today. He was shipped FAST!. I was expecting him to get here around this Thursday-Friday. He is really cool. I really like his transport and elephant modes. I am glad that I finally got the last of the mugen gattai sets that I need.

not to derail the topic or anything but ROH rules =] i sit front row, at every show with The Green Lantern Fan (yeah i know everyone hates him but hes a good friend), im also kinda friends with some workers, i know Jack Evans and Delirious. Always nice to meet a fellow ROH fan =]

oh, the Four Dragons Candy toys came today...i havent opened 'em yet...gonna do that later tonight after HEROES. =]

nope, my bad... it was lead saurus.
on a side note, right after I got my shipping confermation from amenbo, I also got a shipping confermation from hlj for quest knight.
I ordered from amenbo first, with a prepaid visa giftcard i got for christmas. it's a gift card, but it rings up like a visa credit card. they said they couldn't process the card. so I said try it again. I got no response, so, after about 2 weeks, I placed an order with HLJ for quest knight. they gave me my shipping confermation 3 days later. yesterday, I got a shipping confermation from amenbo.
there was only $25us on the card.
either one of them is going to cancel the order, or I'll wind up with a free mugenbine. or I'll wuss out and tell one of them.

most likely one of them will cancel the order, but it is anyone's guess as to which one you will get.

Also I got confirmation that my new figures shipped from amenbo. I can't wait to get them. Everbody seems to think they are pretty cool, especially Speed Eagle.

Got to admit, Speed Eagle is pretty cool - and pretty big too!! Is around twice the size of the Mach Ptera, by my guess - might have to do a combo of them to see how it'll turn out!!

wow, didn't know he was that big. since "everybody" has been talking about the jukki gattai sets, is Speed Eagle about the size of one of those sets?

my Juuki Gattai sets are due to arrive next week, so ill let you know then =]

and man, i am so sorry that i didnt get into these when they first started coming out...the engineering on these is so amazing...i am having the best time just sitting around, putting on stickers and mixing and matching parts =]

To answer your question, Overbite, the Speed Eagle is about the same size as the animal modes of the Juuki Gattai sets, give or take a centimetre or two. Am pretty sure the wingspan of the Speed Eagle is over a foot wide!!

I just got them in the mail today —WOOT!!! These guys are really cool. Alot of changes to the series for the best IMO.
And I am surprised at the size of these guys.

Here is my initial take on this series:

+ :
• more pegs and holes per part
• more parts in the set
• new pilot figure and command module
• new combined robots are a bit more articulated
• no more mugen engines
• new "core" robot is bigger

- :
• no Mugenroid/Turboroid core robots
• chest piece sticks out a bit too much for my liking
• gaping hole in back where "core" robot head is stored in base robot mode
• pilot's arms don't move

Overall I think these figures are some of the best ones Bandai has put out.

I found a pic of the new Heavy Mammoth set. It looks like a repaint of the Jukki Gattai Builder set minus the big orange box and the Turboroid but has a pilot and command module. I'll check some of the Japanese sites to see if anybody has some more pics of it.

I was wondering when we were going to see Heavy Mammoth.

Didn't someone use parts of Juuki Gattai Builder to create what they thought Heavy Mammoth'd look like? I'd say they weren't too far off!

It looks pretty interesting, though.

Wonder if we'll get a sneak peak of the wolf.

Aoi

Build Mammoth! WWWWHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Sweet!! Looks pretty cool - just a shame he doesn't come with that big orange box though. Bet this sucker is gonna be ruddy huge!!

thanks for the pix cheese.

Once I get this Heavy Mammoth set, I can finally build a variation of the giant Mugen Commander 3 robot - excellent!! Guess I'm off to order from HLJ again..

Was kinda wondering if there were gonna be any "bad guy" robots in this particular line, like the Mugen Sector Xenonbine sets? Reckon a pair of giant bugs made with the newer parts would look pretty cool, don't you think?

Wow. G2 Constructicon?

yeah that would be pretty cool. With a retooled Mugen Hercules to go as a base for the new bug bots. But I hope they also put out new sets instead of recycling a bunch of parts from old ones.

build mammoth is a definite must buy...total g2 constucticon goodness =]

Guess that, once I get the Build Mammoth, I'd better start work on designing a Mugenbine Devastator then, eh? Will be worth a giggle at the very least..

you could probably build one now:

Build Giraffe + Dig Kong + Junk Stag +Kaiser Condor + Power Nose + Powerful Tyranno

well, still waiting on my mugenbines...
I'm also in the market for great rex and heat tricera, if anyone wants to trade...

Some more pics found on the web to wet your appetites!
