It's Official - MP-36 is a new Megatron

[gamblor916]

Where exactly are the areas of concern?

I have a second release from HLJ (first is in Perth) and had a quick look at the chest and helmet but couldn't see anything that worried me. A friend who I also ordered for didn't have any concerns either.

Mine has a few small scratches in the chest and uneven paint application on the groin pieces. Nothing major though. I've fixed the groin and may touch up the scratches later.

At least there was not excessive scratching of the groin.

So I ordered my MP36 re-issue from Hobbylink Japan as many here had plenty of success with them, I tracked my order and on their tracking report it says that it was in Australian Customs on the 9th of Feb and it has nothing after. It has now been nearly a month and I have yet to see it. Do I call Customs now? will they contact me or do they just confiscate it and I lose out?

There are instructions in there about what to do.

Anyway you should receive a letter from customs notifying you of the seizure and you then have a set amount of time to produce the B709A form and then they will give it to Australia Post to finally deliver it to you.

Thanks. I haven't received any letter from customs and its nearly been a month. Has anyone else had their MP36 stopped?

If it's been seized by customs, I think you are the first for MP-36.

Did you ship by EMS or SAL? Either way, I'd try contacting Aust Post first.
