    And they would find my gun Megatrons in legally compliant safe storage.

    A Perth group order for Sunstorm is more likely. Even though getting a Megatron through Perth Customs *seems* to be relatively safe, it might also depend on whether the parcel will land directly in Perth from the particular country of origin. Some countries don't have direct flight to Perth, and the parcel might land in Melbourne first. In the past a few of my parcels from Japan did land in Melbourne first and had to go through Customs there.

    Can they impose Victorian Customs laws on toys that are sent to Western Australia? That doesn't seem right to me... :/

    Customs regulations are federal. It doesn't matter which state you're in, Customs have a list of items which are contraband without a permit.

    For those in NSW with a permit, it is possible to bring the item in - but if (federal) Customs hold the item, you need to demonstrate that you are legally entitled to posses the item. This requires presenting yourself to a site in Waterloo - by appointment.

    For those in WA it might be a little trickier... how do you prove to Victorian customs that you're entitled to own one when there are no permits issued in WA... and you're not in Melbourne to collect it.

    Actually, that's a requirement for street level windows. That room is on the second floor.

    It'll be funny when a box of 10 - 20 e-Hobby Black Megatron (in gun mode) pass through Customs' X-ray scanner...

    Whether you have him yet or not, Sunstorm would be a good purchase to buy for MISB, as they tend to go up in value. I'll be buying one for play, one for display.
