Coming to us via Amazon Japan we can share for your our first official images and reveal of the new Takara Tomy Masterpiece MPG-10 Lift Ticket and MPG-11 DK-2 Guard.
These are new Diaclone inspired redecos of the Masterpiece MP-58 Hoist and MP-27 Ironhide molds. Each toy comes with some new extra parts. Read on for details:
- Masterpiece MPG-10 Lift Ticket – Lift ticket body (1), tractor beam gun (2), dual pulverizer (2), right stabilizer wing (1), left stabilizer wing (1), lift power emission (effect part) (1), sticker (1), character card (1), instruction manual (1)
- Masterpiece MPG-11 DK-2 Guard – DK-2 Guard body (1), Cybertron face (1), Knockabout bomb (1), Bomb catapult (1), Terrain scanner (1), Weapon rack (1), Beta gun (2), Ion storm rifle (1), Energy Nail Hand (left) (1), Energy Nail Hand (right) (1), Shield projector (2), Heat ray muzzle (2), Jump thruster (1), Effect parts (2), Window card (1), Sticker (1), Character card (1), Instruction manual (1). You can get a more Diclone-toy-accurate figure by using the extra stickers included and the extra toy face.

See the images after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Always rolling the dice waiting on clearance. Going to win some going to lose some, and it's not always so easily predictable. Every time you think it's a sure thing is often when it isn't.

The DK-2 Guard MP didn't last long. Must have been a limited production.

As someone who was stupid enough to buy Riggorus at full (ShowZ) price, I agree waiting is the best strategy.

I just bought MP Road rage sealed for 30 bucks. I got a sealed Delta Magnus for 80. Riggorus is now nearly 10,000 yen below retail on amazon JP. Diaclone repaints are pretty much worthless!

Until they don’t
People said the same thing about Titan class, and look at Nemesis. I’m not sayin you’re wrong, but for someone like me who ONLY collects Diaclone from the MP line, for the most part, (the overly toon aesthetic turned me off on the line starting with a sunstreaker) I’m not taking any chances.

I'd suggest being patient. As much as I live Diaclone repaints, they ALWAYS go on deep discount.

To Canada at least, you're no longer locked into only the top DHL from A-E like we were during the heights of the pandemic. I don't know if they've returned every option the used to have, but the last few things I got from them were reasonable (at least normal in 2024 rates).

I've never had an issue with Anime-Export charging higher shipping than other retailers, but for a bit they only had the most expensive/fastest class of shipping available. Don't remember if they have the other methods available again.

They'll be back up before release, if you wait even longer they'll have a pretty good discount after release.
Throway
Use ami ami, has combined shipping.

With Amazon Japan sold out, what is another reliable shop for MPG-10 or MPG-11?

Pulse, BBTS, TFSource all seem to be at the same $149.99 & $124.99 price so shipping is the only add-on for them. Toy Dojo doesn't even seem to be listing these two.
Hobby Link Japan looks just as expensive as USA retailers.

AnimeExport looks cheaper, but do they make up the difference with steep shipping? Anime-export
Hobby Genki Transformers MPG-10 Lift-Ticket | Hobby-Genki
Transformers MPG-11 DK-2 Guard | Hobby-Genki
Slightly more. They do say they'll combine shipping.
Nin-Nin-Game is one I hadn't heard of before, but they don't mention combined shipping as an option. Search
I'm sure Bombusbee and ShowZ will offer these as well, although they keep their prices unknown until the release date. And Bombusbee appears sold-out.
Personally don't have to be first to get new toys. After jumping right on Trailbreak, Hoist, and Riggorous I thought there would be time to pre-order and didn't expect these two to sell out so quickly. If nothing else, I suppose Pulse will be very slow, but free shipping. You know, maybe even months behind everyone else.

To be clear it appears to be one of the original faces and it’s just painted like that. There isn’t an actual new part or anything.
JasonTFW2005
Is that the only accessory that differs from the Ironhide?
Thundershot
To simulate the original toy face.

I wasn't going to get DK-2 Guard until I saw that freaky mask. What is that about?

That's what my phone always auto-corrects to.

I’m sure there’d be an audience for that too…
