Okay I'll give it a rest. Besides I need to start packing these guys up for my move at the end of the month!

Nice combos, Cheese - they look amazing!! Just a shame you have to dismantle them during your move. Hopefully, they will be one of the first things you unpack!! hehehe

You know these are the first things to get unpacked! In fact I'm going to move these and my Mugenbines myself! No slippery mover's fingers are coming even close to my babies!!!! 1
The great thing aboot (hello Canada!) this move, is the fact that my new place is big enough that the toys finally get their own room! I'll take pictures while I'm packing and unpacking to give you guys an idea of how obsessed I am with my collection! Okay heres the first set! Mind you I've packed most of my Mugenbines!

Its not fun packing them, I cry every time I seal a box!

HOLY COW!! And I thought I had a fair few bits in my room!! I shall bow down to you, Cheese, king of collectors!!

I understand what you mean about having to put these things back in their boxes; I am very limited for space here, so my Mugenbines have to stay in their boxes pretty much all of the time - it's heart-breaking!!

well, I got insect double and roid general yesterday!
I'm loving them! roid general is cool, even though its a little basic.

now, I'm looking for the other combiner sets.
airleon and his friends, and galaxyrex and heattricera next.
HLJ has heattricera, and I saw galaxyrex, bigelaft, and carryeagle on ebay, but no airleon...

You can always get an Assault Leon, Majin - only difference to Air Leon is the colour and you get a couple of guns with it!!

Assault Leon is pretty awesome, Majin. A bit too awesome. He makes me want Air Leon, too.

Nice collection, Cheese! It's well organized.
I'm tempted to get a picture of my current set-up, showing how allover the place my collections are. (That, and I'm planning on redoing my room; so I suppose a "before" picture'd be good.)
(Although, thankfully combining Great Rex + Heat Triceria, Quest Knight + Save Gunman + Razor Ninja, Teiouryu + Wanrikguma + Uzumakidori into their Gattai forms, it really does clean off a good chunk of desk space.)


Aoi

Cool collection you have there Cheese. I hate moving so I can relate to your pain.

Majin Air Leon is getting harder to find for some reason. Good luck in snagging one.


Also, I won this cool auction on Yahoo! Japan.
I will be selling off:

• Guard Kong (on Hold)
• Wing Bat (on Hold)
• Carry Eagle (on Hold)
• Impact Dile (on Hold)

Let me know via PM if you are interested in any of these figs.

edit: all are on hold atm. I will let those interested know what I am going to charge for them when they arrive from Japan.

you already got my PM.
I sent it even before you knew you were getting those sets.

I found bigelaft at BBTS, and if I can nab your carryeagle, I'll only have to hunt down either airleon or assaultleon.

HLJ also has the jukki gattai fire and police sets. anybody got an opinion on these?

We need some pix here to liven this thread up...

Here are some figs I created...
edit I already showed these

so I will show these I got off of some Japanese website that I think are cool...

You have a Zord Elephant? Am dead jealous, as I'm still waiting to hear about mine. Has anyone heard from Ryan at Fan2Fan lately?

I'm thinking about getting a Zord Elephant. I've not decided but I am leaning toward getting one.

If my school software isn't too much. I'm thinking about getting ZE and Powernose, next paycheck...or next next paycheck.

Also, Overbite, you could post pics of Mugenbine Metroplex to liven things up a bit.

Haven't had a chance to email Ryan myself, UncleJoe...but Mr. Gee did say he could get pretty busy, but still tries to answer email. Maybe this is the case?


Aoi

I found a ZE on ebay.
I'm seriously thinking about getting it...

ok...huge favor to ask you guys:

anyone who has a Victory leon...do you guys know WHERE the 4 silver mugenbine symbol stickers go on him? i studied the pics on the box, but i could not figure it out..no matter what...(also im talking like the official placement of the stickers)

Thanks guys!

Well, am not sure - i have checked the Mugenbine Orders box I got, and even in there it doesn't show where they go

Thanks for the info, Aoi - will try emailing Ryan again later and see if he responds, as I haven't heard from him in the past few days.

EDIT: just thought I'd mention that I have posted some new pix to my Webshots album - will attach a few to this post!!

Those stickers actually go on the gray ramp/wings. On the gray only side you'll see two rectangles on each end near the edge, they go there.

On the Amenbo front, my friend finally got his order. Hooray!!! But it was wrong! BOOOOO! He's missing 1 item. Other than filing another dispute through Paypal, does anyone have suggestions on contacting Amenbo?
There is Aki Yoshiba's e-mail on the paypal site as the sellers address. I told him to send an e-mail there every few hours, someones bound to notice it!

I do have them but those robot pics are not mine. I put some up then changed them for ones I got from a Japanese site. I guess I wasn't too clear on that...

Also like your Speed Eagle. Insect Double combo. Looks great!

Thanx a lot Overbite - based that one of a pic i found somewhere. As for the other big Godzilla one, I might redo that pic using a better digital camera over the next few days.

Have got more good news - looks like my bits from Ryan are on their way!! Will hopefully get the tracking number over the next few days (fingers crossed)..

well, I think I'm getting a ZE from rosalinda tarding on ebay.
Plus, I just ordered a keybot from HLJ. it was on sale for 320 yen!

320 Yen? that's a bargain!!! That's about £1.50 - wow Better start collecting some myself!!

Saw the Keybot for 320 yen...it's pretty tempting, but it's only one type.

I gotta stay away from HLJ for a bit though. I'm finding a new addiction.


Aoi

Well, looks like my Victory Leon and Zord Elephant are on their way - just got my tracking number from Ryan! Once they arrive, I will probably order the 5 Dragon candy set doohickey, and maybe reserve the Tri Wolf as well!!

I just placed an order for Launcher Saurus, Over Ligan, and Zorde Elephant. I should be getting my last order (Needle Stego, Energy Rhino, and Great Rex) in shortly.

Got my stuff from Rosalinda today! ....sort of. I wasn't there to sign for it, so hopefully the post'll try to deliver again tomorrow.

Aoi

lucky! seems like my packages from rosalinda got lost in the mail...theyre sending me out another one. First time anythings ever gotten lost like that.

Was gonna ask if you had a tracking number for your lost parcel.. But since they're sending you another lot, what's the betting that your lost items arrive at the same time?

i wish there was a tracking number...i asked rosalinda to ship the 2nd package a different way witha tracking number...but either she didnt get that email, or theres a bit of a language barrier issue...cause from what i gather the 2nd ones being shipped the same way.

im also gonna be kinda screwed because the last email from her said something about how if i end up with 2 packages she'd like me to pay for the 2nd one...im so broke right now that would be bad lol

also, i finally got around to messing with the Insect Double set...DAMN that rules.

About how long did the shipment take to get to you from order to attempted delivery? I am waiting on a shipment from them as well.

I seriously thought my package had gotten lost too, to be honest. I guess those guys in Customs just wanted to see why I was ordering so many neat toys.

As for my shipping time..I usually use my paychecks to keep track. Buy and pay when I get one, and then I usually recieve the package after the next paycheck. So, at least two weeks shipping time. My first order was +Day, since it arrived on the Saturday after I was paid. My second one..I think was +Three days...but I kind of think that's cause I placed the order..then wanted to hold off to pay for the candy set.(then changed my mind and paid for it anyways.)..now this set it's lets see...looks like +week.


So, so far, I'm gonna say it can be two to three weeks. As for International "tracking", I don't believe there's actually away to do it. (I tried to track a package I sent to canada, and the PO refused.)...but when I talked to my PO last night, they did say there is a number (Customs number, I think.) you can search your packages by. If I don't see my postman today, I'll give them a call on Monday and ask them how to do it again.

Aoi

which sets are missing Immy? Sorry to hear about that. can you send them back for a refund? or you could ebay the extras if they show up. I am sure some people here would be interested in those figures...

Just thought I'd check, but is anyone else currently having probs getting onto either the Mugenbine Official Site www.mr-club.jp, or the Japanese postal service site?

2-3 weeks is the usual wait time for stuff from overseas for me.

the stuff i got on order from rosalinda is Juuki Gattai fire, police and hercules, Zord elephant, and Power nose. if i do end up with both packages by some weird fluke, im sure ill figure out what to do with the 2nd one =]

ok...Since you guys were a big help with the last sticker question, heres another:

Got Iron beetle and Launcher Zaurus in the mail from fantofan today (also got some awesome wrestling DVDS, got the best of CURRY MAN 2003 and all three nights of the CHIKARA King of Trios tournament ( i was at night 3 and it ruled!)) anyyway, i cannot, for the life of me, figure out where the 2 small red and white mugenbine symbol stickers go on LZ...any help would rule!

thanks again guys =]

Well, I think the ones you're referring to are two small red and silver (?) stickers, which go on the upper arm or shoulder of Launcher Zaurus in Dino Mode. But if they are the really tiny red and whte Mugenbine logo stickers, they go on the tail of the LZ in Machine mode - does that help?

hope this helps...


edit: Uncle Joe, I can get on the Mugenbine Official Site ok.

Well, finally everything's back to normal, in regards to the Mugenbine site, AND my bits from Ryan are in the UK, so fingers crossed they turn up later today!!

Thanks got the help d00ds!...the pics on the back of the box so dont show those stickers on there

I have good news - my Vistory Leon and Zord Elephant arrived today (about an hour ago). Why didn't anyone tell me how big these beggars are? Am severely digging these two guys; the animal modes are pretty equally sized which is cool, and I rather like the Zord Elephant's machine mode. I now have 39 sets, with only the Fang Tiger and Juuki Gattai Mugen Builder to get until i have completed the alphabet and Juuki Gattai sets!!

one more question for y'all ...anyone know who this head belongs to?

Wasn't this one released as a candy toy set? Have got pix for these guys in the Mugenbine Orders book, if I remember correctly, since if you look at them, the parts don't look like their counterparts from the normal sets..

It does look like it can be a candy kit. I'll letcha ya'll know when I get mine in later today. (I'm gonna try and call the post office to see if they'll deliver it, since I'm sick again. blargh. )

I'll also ask about the way to get a hold of the shipping number to keep track of International packages.

Aoi

Yes, that is a candy set head for Carry Eagle. That set is available on e-bay now.

Not sure if I asked you guys before, but how many sets do you currently own? My count has risen to 39 now, with two more on back-order (mainly to replace slightly broken sets) - so how many have you folks got?

I only have 10 in my possession right now (11 if you count the one my son has - a xenobine that was a double in a deal). I have 6 more en route to me, however.

Lessee...my count is..13, when the first set of Candy toys get here, it'll be up to 16.


Just got off the phone with the post office; they said the only way to track an international package is with the "Customs" number...but that'll only tell when customs ships it out to you. After that, you're back to where y'started.

Aoi

Is this thread really about Machine Robo?! Now I'm forced to wonder why it's the number one bumped thread.

because transformers are in slow period toy wise, and these toys from Japan are like combiners + Legos. There are tons of links on previous pages and pics too of what some people have created with these sets. Plus they are harder to get a hold of than TFs.


Immy, as everyone stated before, that is the first candy toy figure which was a cheaper version of Carry Eagle, Galaxy Rex, and Air Leon. The head looks a stylized version of Carry Eagle's big head.

Uncle Joe, my collection currently stands at: 49 figures, not counting the sets I just won off of Yahoo! Japan. I counted each core figure (Mugenroid, Turboroid, etc) as a single entity. Roid General 3=three figures, Mugen Hercules=2.

I have two of every Mugenbine, so thats 47 regular pieces = 94
2 Toys R Us EX = 4
3 Candy Toy Sets = 6
1 Plex Ex Mugenroid = 2
106 TOTAL MUGENBINES!
No wonder I'm sick of packing these things up!

I hate moving!
But the next place is my permanent home, cause I bought it!
So I'll never have to pack up my toys ever again!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Wooow. I wonder how your box storage space looked, Cheese.

Anyhow, still no candy sets. Mom went by the PO during her lunch break to try and pick it up for me, and they wouldn't let her sign for it. (which is really weird, since my previous package, my mom signed for. ) So, I'm gonna try my best to pick it up after I get off work tomorrow.

After all this hassle, I certainly hope the candy is still edible to make up for it!
