after i listed a transformers auction i recieved this random tf warning :

Attention Seller
Due to the United States laws surrounding replica/imitation firearms, it is illegal for any business or individual to import or sell the MP-05 Megatron as it does not display a blaze orange safety tip on the end of the barrel.

Sellers may only list this toy if it has been modified to include clear markings permanently affixed to them (commonly blaze orange markings on the barrel or a blaze orange plug inserted into the barrel.)

makes sense i just thought it was funny though

Wow, so does that mean I need to put orange plugs on my vast stockpile of MP-05 and Encore Megatrons before selling them on Ebay? j/k

I wonder if they will start canceling auctions that either don't advertise the orange plug or blatantly advertise NOT having the plug.

Agreed... I think this is the best method... seems to work quite nicely too!
