The official Takara Tomy Transformers Twitter have updated details and images of their new Masterpiece MP-52 Starscream 2.0 Coronation Parts Campaign.
Now that MP-52+SW Skywarp is shipping, Takara Tomy is holding a special campaign for all Japanese fans who bought the three new Masterpiece Seekers, as they had previously announced.
You have to mail the proof of purchase of each Masterpiece Seeker (a small flap found in all the boxes) to Takara Tomy before February 28, and you will receive the new Coronation parts for Masterpiece Starscream 2.0. Sadly, this campaign is valid only in Japan, with no plans to make it available internationally at the moment.
We also have images of the packaging of this set as well as an image showing Starscream with all his new parts. See all the images after the jump and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

They've never slighted fans before.

TakaraTomy/Hasbro – please provide a way to purchase this set or redeem points outside Japan. Hasbro Pulse?
It came with MP-11 but for the better Starscream it's super rare? Stupid. This is the best Starscream we'll ever get, don't slight the thousands of fans who own an MP-52. Ridiculous fans even have to import this line in the first place and Hasbro is still asleep on it.

Anyone happen to have the coronation gear and willing to sell? I was one of the unfortunate people that Onsake tried to help acquire the set. So I lost the box purchase points as well. If anyone is interested in selling them please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Thanks everyone.
To say I'm at a low point in my life would be a massive understatement.
I was already moping around and feeling sorry for myself, but seeing this stupid little box of extra accessories going for criminally marked up prices really upset me, cause I was so close to being able to get them and I blew it.

Wow. I’m really sorry to see this has happened to you. I always enjoyed your honest takes on your MP purchases and your insights into collecting and living in Japan.
I hope things turn back around for you sooner rather than later.
Xaxis
Sorry to see this, man. I hope you’re okay and that things take a turn for the better soon.

Otomofan?

Oh shit, so sad to hear of your unfortunate turn in life. You’ve been a regular here for years and even though I didn’t know you on a personal level, I still felt like I knew you. I hope things get better for you brother.

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.

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.

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.

Most Americans on this site seem to forget that it's not all about them

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.

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?
Afterburner
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.
Stepper
Understand that it is limited but am just wondering how many is being produce? 500 pieces etc?
4249david
That's just not even remotely sensible.
