The guy that was fighting them over it is one of my Youtube friends and they really really gave him a hard time so I'm glad that in the end it was worth it for him

 

I ordered from A3U to avoid having a plug stuck in the end. Turns out many were easily removed anyway but I didn't want to take a chance on it having a plug that was permanent.

Collectors in Australia also had issues importing Megatron due to gun replica laws there.

 

canadian customs... i'm sorry sir your not allowed in canada
megatron what do you know who i am
well sir we don't allow firearms... megatron oh so unwise

 

Because replica firearms can still get person holding it killed. Me I'm NEVER taking any G1 or G1-esque Megs out in public. Not in his box, not anywhere. If I have to move then they will go into another box or my canvas TRU bag. And no one will see them, far too risky.

We didn't as it had been fuly inspected before by CBSA and declared a toy. That is until BBTS started shipping then with a "It turns into a giant ass gun peoples!!" note with him. Then the problems started.

 

Me neither.

 

I wonder how long it took the Customs agents to transform MP Megs into Gun mode. Man I would love to be a fly on the wall for that one.

"Well sir it took us a week but we finally rearranged that robot into it's Walther P-38 mode..."

 

I know. That was the same reason I had to go through hell and high water with my first shipment because supplier didn't want to risk getting in trouble shipping them to the US.

Doesn't mean it makes any sense though.

 

i dunno... i think it still pretty much resembles a real gun.. even if bigger. I can understand the ban. And he actually transforms into a gun shape so saying that prohibiting wood wouldnt make sense unless it was a wooden toy made to transform into a Walther lol
