He's lowered the price on those? I remember at one point, he was asking for $250 bucks. I'm there once in a blue moon usually just to look out for something interesting. Only thing I've ever purchased from there is a MegaSCF Hot Rod

$250? Wow, talk about wishful thinking. :rolleyes:

If so, wouldn't this affect domestic interstate shipments as well?

Dang, that sucks. Sorry. So you've got one more try left. :D

Customs is federal, but it is up to the police forces discretion in that state whether they deem it a problem or not. Customs is obligated by the Federal law to seize them, it's up to the cops to issue a B709a after that.

Although it is legal for me to own an MP-05 and no laws were broken, I edited the post so no repurcussions of any kind can be brought down on anyone: just in case. Sorry for posting names. It would be better for anyone in SA still having MP-05 problems to PM me for advice.

Perth is lucky enough to have its own International Mailing Centre. Anything coming to Perth via Overseas touches down here directly, not in the eastern states. Packages are inspected at the entry border. Because WA doesn't recieve its international mail via Sydney, WA customs has different alerts than Sydney customs. Unfortunately, QLD, NSW, ACT, SA, VIC all share the same entry border, therefore MP5=bad in the east. I may be wrong, but thats how I see it. :)

Especially when you can grab one from eBay for about $50 + $20 shipping to your door.

The location says a lot about why its behind glass!

Does anyone else remember TF boxes being opened & stolen from in recent times?

I can recall seeing a Classics Soundwave missing both Ravage & Laserbeak from a local TRU... :rolleyes:
