    Not just the US but also the EU and some Asian Countries as well. All from the actual projectile firing g1 Megatron toys from Japan. It's not just because of police shootings. That just contributed. Firearms have many local regulations that will force registration, license registration, fee collection etc. so that impacts shipping as well. Weapons in general have not been consumer friendly for decades outside of government registered dealers.

    Woot! replaced my Anime Export with Amazon.Jp. Much more reliable to the US & worth the shipping.

    On the fence about this. Would love to have a Megs squirt gun as an oddity in my collection. Not sure if it's a close to a $100.00 need to be in my collection tho. :tumbleweed:

    That's the price? Oof, as much as I like how it looks (let alone the difficulties of importation) that's a little much for a ... what is quite literally a designer water pistol. :lol

    Amazon Japan has it for 6,451 yen with 3,532 for shipping = 9,983 yen or $96.23usd. I like odd TF novelty items, but that's a tad much for this. :drunk

    This times 100 !! Both! lol :lol 

    Exactly. But so far ... we can't. :( 

    Yes please HASBRO :) 

    But IF they scan your package. It does happen, just small percentage most likely.

    I didn't see anyone mention this but Takara and "Has blow" are 2 different companies. 2 different countries. Takara cover's Japan. Where this gun is coming from. :)  Hope this helps.



    That was awhile ago. Times are changing. I forsee it coming in the next 2 years. November 23 2020. Thats my word lol. ;)

    I can order this from Amazon JP but my handy dandy proxy shipper WON'T Risk shipping it to me. So again, dead end on that regard on my part:cry . The issue again is JP customs. Just how are you all ordering this not concerned with JP customs when my JP Proxy providers (I can ship much nastier stuff)won't touch him with a 10 foot pole?:confused:

    I never trust Jurassic Park proxy providers.
    I only tried using one once (name was Dennis). After I paid him, not only did I never get my items, but I never heard from him again. :banghead: :cry :banghead: :cry

    I was just about to ask if anyone actually ordered this! I won't act like I didn't consider it, but common sense got the better of me :lol
