sometimes when it comes to shit like this it takes an inside job to make sure you get what you want the way you want it as opposed to what you want and the way they want you to have it.

it's all a matter of ones viewpoint on the matter and how far that person is willing to go to get what he wants.

there always have been people like that and there always will be man its one of those constants in life.


me i try to be the type of person who keeps an open minded and unbiased viewpoint on any particuler matter despite how much my doing so happens to offend certian people such as family relatives, politicians, or the feds for that matter.

Silverbolt. This law is the way it is for a reason, and a very good one—saftey. There had been too many insidences in the past of people mistaking a toy gun for a real one, and kids getting killed by cops because of it. And customs must, by law, confiscate any toy guns that they find, that don’t meet Federal regulations. You may not like it, but that is the way it is.

tramp.. we might as well just drop it.. due to the fact they will do what ever it takes to get a damn toy.. that they dont need to put that much trouble into...

I am wondering one thing (directed at UK members). I'm no legal expert, but are the same laws applied so fiercely here in the UK? If the Japanese version has got away without turning the barrel orange, would it not be feasible to order straight from Japan or somewhere else if you're worried about breaking the seals?

Yeah but I think customs probably x-rays all incoming overseas packages and they might confiscate it anyway, or at least stuff that weighs a certain amount. I think someone on this thread said they ordered their MP prime and it took a couple weeks to get it through customs because it was so heavy

you should be fine and able to get a black tipped one , if your laws allow you to have guns minus the orange tip.. so research the laws , and see if you can just get one straight from japan.

I’m not an Englishman, but that all depends upon what the laws are in the UK regarding toy guns. Does the UK require that toy guns have the orange tip? If not, then getting the unaltered Japanese MP Megatron would be no problem. Our problem in the US is that our laws require toy guns to have the orange tips. This is strictly a US law, not an international one. So, unless the UK has a similar one, I wouldn‘t worry too much.

we dont have that law over here so shouldnt be a problem but il probably buy it from china town,

yay good for you!!! glad you can get an unscrewed up one...

il probably stil end up paying twice as much for him though, even if i orderd him from bbts customs and postage would be as much or more then the toy

i dunno if this would help anyone not wanting the bbts orange tip one
