    Even if I could get it for free, I still wouldn't put in on mine. I don't think it looks right without the wacky proportions Starscream from the movie.

    This is where 3p has consistently dropped the ball. This crown and soft goods cape should be a set you can buy at BBTS, with a tattered ash grey version too.

    Honestly I kind of want to see a 3P company or even Takara release a $90 jar of ashes of "86 movie accurate MP Starscream".

    If it doesn't sell out within the hour I'll be massively disappointed.

    So I'll ask again since I don't want to do a disservice to fans, if anyone gets the KO set that's on eBay please post a review for the rest of us since for most there is no way to obtain this set with the new much more accurate crown. We can now see what price the actual set goes for which we can all agree is both ridiculous and a direct reflection of how this did not meet demand. We have been completely ignored in the U.S, despite thousands of us having MP-52.

    Fixed. There's a world outside North America you know...

    And TT never tried to meet demand. It was a home country incentive.

    I take it you're just as desperate for the coasters coming with Skyfire too?

    The set has value only because they made a finite amount. If they made 11-13000 Starscreams they probably only made 500 at most a,1000 of these add on kits. It would have been cool if they were available outside Japan but they dodnt so it is what it is . If this is stuff theyy have to do to make Masterpiece more attractive to Japanese buyers like the coasters than so be it. It's a win for me, the more people invested over there means more releases and more options and I'll gladly trade that for a rehash of some 11 year old accesory parts.

    Yeah, they were made to order. TT made exactly as many as necessary to send out to all those that sent in their box cutouts.

    Anyone outside of Japan could’ve used a proxy service to obtain this set, if they’d purchased all three seekers.

    Once again, I have to apologize to the two TFWers that sent me their proofs of purchases. I sent in the forms, but I lost my job and lost my apartment before it was delivered.

    I feel awful about that, and I feel even worse now seeing what people are charging for this item.

    If it makes you feel any better, I lost everything. The life it took over a decade to build up was gone in a blink. My job, my apartment, my collection...it's all gone now and I'm left with nothing.

    I really am sorry I didn't come through.

    TakaraTomy could have release MP52+ Coronation Starscream available outside Japan, mass release it instead of being limited. But on another hand, the only way for non Japanese buyers to get this is to purchase all three seekers, sent in their box cutout, then use proxy service to purchase the MP52+ Coronation Starscream.
