Megatron MP-05 Petition

Mel, Kup I've removed the link to the actual sale ad from your posts.

That's a huge price to be asking for a Transformer that's not Fort Max!!

that sounds exactly like what happened to me. In fact, I was told NOT to send the claim form in... so crap. So basically i'm gonna have to buy another one.
For those that know, if i'm now buying a mp-05 with a permit, how do I nice and legally get it to my door?!?

The authorities are not communicating properly.

What you need to do is order it and if Customs catch it then you request a B709A from the Firearms Registry by sending them a copy of your Commissioner's Permit. You then need to pick it up from the Customs depot with the original of your B709A permit.

The classifying of MP-5 still bothers me,particularly when i see things like this.A few days ago i was watching a tv show about customs security at australian airports,which featured a woman coming back from the middle east with oranamental swords and daggers,security stopped her and let customs check the items, which were 1 sword roughly a metre long and a number of daggers that had serated edges all were made of hard metal not lead or anything soft looking.Customs waved her through no problems not even a run down of their intended use saying their obviously for ceremonial use.these were deadset weapons that maime or kill people and they had no issue with them,we should have all claimed Megatron was for ceremonial
use he would have been let straight in. What a complete farse this makes of border security.

I can understand your frustration - the way our laws are intepreted and applied can be frustrating.

But hey, for a state with the most useless mob in power, at least NSW has worked with the fans to find an avenue to allow transfans to legally own Megatron. So we're in a better position than those in some other states.

I just had to laugh at that, picturing a TF ceremony

alloy head has a point

the scottish are allowed to carry daggers around on planes because of their traditional dress, you could claim to be from Iacon and the Mpo5 is part of the traditional dress.

Its not as silly as it sounds as we live in over politically correct times
