    So from what I understand, Perthicons can legally own MP-05 a replica firearm but it is explicitly forbidden to posess or copy RC computer games like Mortal Kombat???

    Western Australia, Australia

    Ownership of Masterpiece Megatron is LEGAL in Western Australia, Australia.

    However, it will still likely be seized by Customs which is a Federal body. You will then need to obtain a Form B1709A, IMPORTATION OF FIREARMS-POLICE CONFIRMATION AND CERTIFICATION permit from the Firearms Division of the Western Australian Police to have it released to you from Customs.

    I picked one of these up in Adelaide when they 1st came out, i remember hearing that they were banned in some states. Can't believe you actually need a gun license to own one.

    That's not entirely true -- you don't need a full gun licence, what you need is an imitation firearms permit. The permit allows you to own prohibited imitation firearms; it's not a licence to own real guns.

    Here's what my permit looks like:




    In order to obtain the permit in NSW you will also need to satisfy minimum safe storage requirements, such as:
    + A lockable display unit for the gunformer(s).
    + Locks on doors and windows in the room where the gunformer(s) is/are stored.
    + Bars on windows of said room if it is on the ground floor. Upstairs rooms are exempt from this requirement.

    What I meant was that if I needed to go through all these pain in the arse requirements to obtain MP Megs, I might as well go the full hog and get a gun license and collect those instead.

    just noticed...

    there is a guy on aus ebay ( in w.a. ) selling mp megs for $250. ( claims to have 2 for sale )

    i know its pricey.....but atleast it eliminates the chance of it getting siezed at customs!

    maybe an option for someone

    If he sends it to a 'banned' state, it's 'gun trafficking'. No kidding, upto 14 years.
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    Hey, how'd you get your license for megatron, and what fees did you pay or will have to pay.

    Regards

    Just wondering, is G1 Megatron subject to all this crap that MP Megs is? I would like to get both the Megatron and Optimus Chronicle set's that Takara's releasing later this year.
