Shove a fake sticker on the front saying 'Barbie/Transformers Crossover' and away ya go! Unless the customs guy wants to check under his dress to look at the size of his barrel it should all be golden
99% of guys have looked up a Barbie's skirt. 1% of blokes are liars.

It was part of the DOTM Transformers Chronicles box set that also had a DOTM Megatron and packaged the G1 Megs in robot mode - maybe both of those factors helped?
I'd say you got lucky, considering that Customs have known how to spot Megatron in robot mode since 2007. I personally wouldn't recommend using the old "send it in robot mode" method anymore. Best bet (for those of us living outside WA and SA) is either to acquire a permit, or if you live in a state where the toy is still illegal, contact your state's Police Ministry.
