So, the email notes Australia and America, but the webpage only notes America.

I just don't know why they are altering the Australian ones, when they are only adhering to US Federal law. An orange cap shouldn't change its status in Australia, and I think it will still be seized, but now it will be an opened toy that is seized instead of a mint one.

My VIC copper mate is going to look into it more thoroughly tomorrow but at this stage reckons it wouldn't be a problem as the law was clarified more to separate 'toy guns' and 'real guns' in their classifications and subsequent bannings as long as it was 'obviously a toy' which, considering Megs will be in robot mode, this is

The problem isn't local state police, but rather federal customs which seized all of the last MP Megatron, which WAS shipped in robot mode and even when transformed would be comically oversized in gun mode. Local police were awesome, and helped me fill out a license application. They thought customs were overreacting too.

Mine was seized and even with a non-firing replica weapons license, customs only released mine on the day on which they were required to present it before a magistrate. If you can buy it from a local dealer that has gotten/finessed it through customs, you bypass all he hassle.

Simple, common misconception, they think we have it as "easy" as americans and just cap everything.

Hard to get toy guns into said country=just cap it

I'm still waiting for them to process my order from this morning. Can't remember it normally taking this long.

Surprising because mine was done early that morning.
