Hmm... I wonder if that is their subtle way of saying that, 'the cap is easily removable but we are just trying to cover our asses by putting int this statement.'

I hate how paranoid and anal the world and it's laws are right now, I really do.

I think it's better to just take the cap off again after receiving it. Unless you're a MISB-type collector of course...
I just hope HLJ won't make the mistake of sending me a US version MP Megatron....
Crazy Americans. Real guns are okay and perfectly legal, but toy guns are forbidden. Absurd. At least it's the other way around in Europe, as it should be.

They shoot to kill cause it's more easy for them, and most will get away with no punishment if it is an accident.

Not snap off the cap......what DREAM WORLD is that guy living in.
Heh... to me, that sounds an awful lot like: "Because your US toy laws require the modification, we heartily recommend that you do not snap off the orange cap. We particularly do not recommend that you take advantage of the fact that the cap has not been glued onto the toy. For your own peace of mind, we cannot endorse taking off the easily-removable cap by opening the clip located just here."
