Thanks, griffin.
I'm still waiting for a response email from both the Vic minister for police and the licensing regulation department of the police. In my message to the licensing regulation, I linked the letter of exemption that was posted earler stating that NSW residents those who see a Megatron Transformer as a toy are exempt from the fees.
I'd still pay a fee if I have to, but I'd like clarification on if it's an ongoing fee, like for renewals or if that's free of cost in Victoria.
If you could also look into that it'd be much appreciated, as I have no contacts with the police so I doubt I'll get a proper response from them any time soon.
