    This was just a promotion for buying all 3 MP-52s, not a new release.

    How on earth are the online retailers going to sell this set, I'd imagine it costs a fortune if it came up on Ebay

    Don't discount the China factor. TT can't let all that idle cash be neglected in getting this.

    Those shoulder pieces look awful to me, like they belong on Studio Series Starscream.

    Probably because it is just the MP-11 shoulders and a slightly more angular cape near the ends.

    Only this time they cost 3 seekers instead of 1.

    Will wait for a 3p option of sorts. Hopefully with a wired, cloth cape, no this plastic cheap Kmart-looking abomination for 15 years ago.

    Cool for those living in Japan to be able to take advantage of this "freebie" though.

    This should have honestly been how the cape looked considering this just looks like a repack of the MP-11 version for several times the price.

    I\'m betting that Takara will milk this mold as much as they can(i know that these are just accessories but still) it\'s gonna probably be milked for a couple of years

    Hoping this won't be too expensive or super hard to get.

    Hoping the above will make this set more available.

    There’s no idle cash here for TakaraTomy, it’s claimed by sending in box flaps and paying for shipping.

    If any regions outside of Japan will get this add-on directly it will need to be done through Hasbro.

    You need to have bought all 3 MP-52 versions and live in Japan.

    If you've done all that it should be fine.

    I’m gonna guess that there will be a KO or 3P option in time, so guess I’ll just wait 73F6E714-2FB1-422F-8479-25291E84AD13.jpeg

    Oh damn, that looks good. But really annoying that it’s both Japan-exclusive and you gotta buy SS, SW, and TC.

    I’d rather wait for DNA Design to make some third-party coronation kit.
