How to get MP Megatron shipped to Oz?

Zero dilemma in owning these.

Same.

But, in reply to Deltaprime, if someone charges into a shop waving around what looks to be a firearm, all the while screaming at the attendant and threatening to kill them, would you expect the shop attendant to instantly recognise that that is a stupidly oversized P-38 and therefore can't be real? All they would see is a gun and someone threatening to kill them.

My Japanese reissue of G1 Megatron is still MISB and my MP Megatron is such a pain in the butt to transform I keep him in robot mode so end of moral dilemma for me, despite neither having the orange cap

Where did I say anything about going around like a moron robbing people with a MP-05? And even if a robber doesn't display a weapon or even if they don't act aggressive you always do what they say. Just give them the cash or item and let the cops deal with it.

That guy should be shot, end story. I don't really care much for stupidity nowadays, but there is always someone.

The real stupid thing here is, who the hell can be bothered to buy a $180 Maegatron just to rob a bank? They probably can get something looking more realistic act cheaper price imo. But then I dunno, I always been proven wrong that some nut would do it.

Well, you said this:

Also MP Megs makes a terrible replica because he is so freakin huge compared to a real P38. I remember on the Ages 3 and Up Podcast the guy that owns the A3U store had to show MP Megs off to the Canadian authorities before they would let him into the country. The Mounties laughed at how ridiculously over sized Megs is in gun mode and let the guys shipment into Canada.

I see zero moral problem owning a toy gun.

And my reply was hinting that is doesn't matter if it's a terrible replica gun. It still looks like a gun and could be used in a robbery/threatening manner, hence why it is classed as a firearm.

And I like the way you simply dismiss it as "just give them cash or item and let the cops deal with it." That's too late chum. Ever heard of post traumatic stress? Ask anyone who's been held at gunpoint, then later found it was a replica and ask them if it in any way diminishes the emotions/stress they felt at the time. Guess what the answer is?

There is a very real and good reason that MP-5 is classed as a replica firearm in NSW and I believe that should continue to be the case.

You are always going to have to deal with criminals. They are not going to use a hard to acquire G1 Megatron or MP Megatron or G1 Browning. They are going to use an easy to acquire weapon like a kitchen knife or cricket bat. Any idiot that thinks a Transformer is great weapon is retarded.

EDIT: OK I've calmed down now, sorry. Maybe we should not talk about morals of owning a toy.
