Point is, there are people out there who may be naive about guns, or actually get too scared to realise, that it is a toy gun.

-edit-

And yes, at over $100 it's not the sort of thing you'd spend money on to intimidate people. But then these sort of people aren't exactly going to spend any money are they? They're likely to break into a person's house and steal it.

And no, the chances are slim of them being after Megatron specifically, they'd be after anything of value and he'd just be a bonus. That's why the permits require him to be kept in a locked gun cabinet.

Just for the record, I don't think I would be able to tell the difference between a real gun and Megatron in any hold up situation. I don't have any experience with guns, nor have I seen a Megatron in real life.
So if I were a clerk in shop (possible, got to pay the TFs somehow), I would treat it as a real gun.

i think he is asking what if megs is shipped without the original box :lol:
maybe worth a try, especially if they only target the artwork on the box. oh well I'm not goign to try it again. Apparently they flag all people who have tried before. Can no longer play dumb.
