    Man the original Build Gattai stuff had such a cool aesthetic. I'm still keeping my eyes peeled for special editions decently priced, but other than that, once I finish the blue/red G-Gentoshi set... I'm, done!

    the moebine set took longer than any other mugenbine set, but I blame that more on it being the definition of sticker hell, especially with having to put the same dang stickers on all 5 girls. In the end,the robot mode is totally worth it, though. It's super articulated and way more stable than other mugenbine combined modes. I have it displayed standing on 1 leg, and it doesn't wobble at all, where my Saga Red/Blue Ashura can barely stand just making a normal A-stance. XD I'm super happy I got this set, even with the weird anime girls.

    Candy toy shelves (Uh... and Sector Double... and missing the Evolbine sets, which I have at work). Just missing the one G-Gentoshi set, which I'll build later. I needed a break after Moebine. ><

    Main thing that helps is no kids, no pets. Hoping to change the former one of these days. I have a lot of neices and nephews who come over, but they're only allowed in the transformer room with supervision (if at all XD). I should probably get a lock for that room tho. >>

    I have invested in 2 Detolfs, and will be buying a 3rd sometime very soon...also have some very high shelves she can't get on

    My next purchase is either
    Mega Bloks USS Enterprise (the BIG one, 3098 pieces)
    Or Super Mini-Pla Dyna Dragon and Gridman Sigma
    They are about the same price (after extensive searching), but I don't know which one to get...

    Dang, Mandarake had a Evolbine Burning set for 2500 yen O_O. I don't think they know what that thing is worth. I totally woulda picked it up even though I already have one. The Evolbines are probably my favorite candy toy mugens

    Thanks, but I got mine from some obscure site I stumbled across a few weeks back! (they're in the middle of my display pic up above)
    Also, funny how as soon as I stop buying mugenbine, more and more stuff is coming out of the woodwork. XD There's so many more figures on ebay now and mandarake has had a lightning dragon up on their site for like a week now. O_O

    If the price on that moebine doesn't go way up, I might try to get it just for the robots anyhow. Putting all the decals on the girls too FOREVER and I'm not interested in doing THAT again. ><

    Yeah, I know what you mean... it's like we were the only ones buying, and now that we've stopped, there is a sudden surplus of Mugenbine...
    Hopefully, one day soon, Bandai will come out with something new and we will have something to add to our collections

    I mean, the new Super Sentai Ryusoulger stuff is BASICALLY mugenbine on a zord scale. XD

    So, if you're feeling the mugenbine itch, check out Ryusoulger. It's not quite as free-form as Mugenbine, and it's kinda pricey to import (but we're all used to that!) I've got the 5 main mechs, and even though their official combo is kinda bad, the stuff you can come up with is pretty awesome.

    Yeah, I am looking at the Mini-Pla version of them...much more affordable, and scales well with the rest of my collection

    Yeah, I will say, I have a lot of minipla (Voltron, MMPR Ultrazord, In Space AstroDelta Megazord, Ninja Megazord, and Shogunzord), and they beat regular Sentai articulation by a mile. If I was better at painting, I'd probably go that route, because the decals on the Ryusoulger sets seem a bit much. At least with most of them, they paint the faces for you so those look good. I'm hoping now that GoBusters has an American version, BoA will release the minipla through Barnes and Noble like they have with other sets and I can get some big discounts on 'em.
    That all said, I'm glad I went with the original GoBusters zords rather than the minipla at first, since the stickers on that set are particularly bad.

    Anyway, it really does feel like they put the Mugenbine designers on this one or something, as I feel like the main megazord looks a lot more like a Mugenbine-type mecha than a Sentai gestalt, so the part of me that's always dreaming hopes we see more Mugenbine when Ryusoulger finishes.

    I have the Astro-Delta Megazord and Shogun Megazord as well as the two, currently, available Gridman sets. I would like to get my hands on many more sets...at some point.

    That said, I keep searching for anything new news pertaining to Mugenbine, Mugen Saga, Mugen Heroes, but nothing comes up. Sadly, I think the failure of the Heroes line may be what is keeping them from making anything new.
    We can only hope they continue the Mugen Saga series, as they still have Mugen Pirate and Mugen Satan to remake.

    Yeah, I'd love Saga versions of both of those. It is really too bad Heroes was so lackluster. I still think it woulda been pretty good if not hinged on that dumb card gimmick.

    Looks like some guy is selling his A-Z set on Ebay right now. All in box. All way more than I'd want to pay. XD

    Keep checking eBay, look for a seller named jsp00k he usually has several auctions going. You can contact him and ask if he has any of the sets you are looking for, pretty good a responding.
