The thing that gets me about all this is that MP Megatron is not a toy but a collectors collectable, That is based on a toy. How is it that you can get a replica of a gun and sell that as a collectable with no law enhanced cap on it, But you can't get a replica of a toy that has a gun mode as a collectable?
The MP line is aimed at Transformers collectors not children, and as such most collectors are (usually) of an age to be responcible enough not to wave around something that could be thought of as a gun in the presence of the police. (And/or other authoraties).
How comes BBTS can sell a six inch replica of a Final Fantasie gun with no orange cap, that to me looks more realistic to a real gun than MP megs, (its large size makes megs look rediculous as a real gun unless you are a seven foot tall wrestler).
The only good news in all this is if it is put on at the factories then you will still have a MISB MP Megs. As for people not handling it before you get an item, you will find that most things you buy from anywhere could have been handled by up to a dozen people before it even goes in a box to be sealed.
