The following Transformers are prohibited in NSW, which means you need to have a permit to own them:
+ G1 Megatron (incl. all variants & reissues)
+ G1 Browning
+ eHobby Megaplex
+ Masterpiece Megatron
Click here for information on how to acquire a permit. Basically you need to:
* Ensure that all perimeter doors and windows in your home have locks
* Your Transformers collection room (or whichever room you store your gun Transformers in) has a lock on the room door. A simple morticelock will suffice.
* The gun Transformers are kept in a locked display unit. The unit does
not need to be wall mounted. Any kind of lockable display unit is fine.
* If your TF room is on the ground floor, it must have bars/grills on the window(s). This is not required if the room is upstairs.
Also note that you will be
exempt from paying the application fee for the permit (saving you $127!
). So basically you don't need to pay for applying for the permit, that's free. But unless you already have all the safe storage requirements in place, you may need to have to pay for them. I know that when I first got my permit years about 5 years ago I had to purchase a morticelock from Bunnings and install it in my TF room door. I also had to drive all the way to Tempe to purchase a lockable display unit... that was the biggest hassle for me. The paper work is also a hassle, but it's the law here in NSW so ya gotta do it (or risk having your toy(s) confiscated and possibly incinerated). I'd rather not take the risk.
Here's basically what the permit looks like:
(that's the older style one, the newer one looks a little bit different, but you get the idea)
And here's the display unit that I use for my Gunformers.
