As rumored and discussed somewhere else, it looks like now it's been confirmed by Robotkingdom that the upcoming two-packs of Megatron and Prime contain their DOTM and their G1 molds.

....This just drives home that I cannot own a G1 Megatron without jumping through ridiculous hoops.. :mad:
are these going to reach our shores?
Intriguing. What's with that picture of G1 Megatron with internal bleeding and a red fist?
DOTM Voyager Shockwave and G1 mold please. Kthxbai.

I guess they know DOTM Megs will shelf warm so they're coming up with gimmicks for people to buy it :p
Many of us have jumped through those hoops. It's a hassle, but it's possible. The Megatron Gun Club gives you a comprehensive check list to go through. Although I didn't need to have a police background check done (since everyone who works with children already has one done) - so I was exempted from that. A lot of what I was doing was filling out forms - statutory declaration, witnesses etc.Quote:

They have an outlet in Villawood and Tempe, but I recommend the Tempe outlet (that's where I got mine from).
Installing the lock on my display room was a hassle cos I just suck at handyman stuff. :p
The hoops they make you jump through drove me mental... but it was worth it in the end since I'm now a legal owner of gun Transformers. :)
I believe it's a KO. I used to have a KO G1 Megs from the 90s that was like that.Quote:

More detailed pics of J**** OP and is it me or are G1 Megs/OP getting re-released with their DOTM counterparts?
If it's actually G1 Megatron in Megaplex colours being rereleased (as in the new pictures) then that's pretty cool. It would be nice if he came with his morning star weapon again too.Quote:

I really want Megs as well, but remember, G1 Megs is prohibited in NSW, Unless you have all the permits etc. If you do have the permits, we need to talk!Quote:

If I did Import it form the states, I may not need to worry as they will have the orange plugs attached to them so they comply with the yank gun lawsQuote:
