JRS Toyworld Canceling ALL MP-05 Megatron Preorders.

well they put it on we are all just going to cut it off or spray it grey. I wish they would save me the trouble.

Also if the concern is over the picture of a gun on the box, what good is a saftey tip on the ROBOT inside going to do about that!?!

I mean, won't that still be a picture of a gun?

"Also, Takara has
apparently decided to do a "US safe" release through Hasbro."

I can't wait to see this one!

Eh, it seems that most stores are adding the tip as it is. At this point, I don't care who I get it from, as long as I paint the tip as I have intended since the very beginning.

I love how it's easier to get a real gun than it is to get an oversized toy gun that turns into a toy robot.

i cant understand why this is creating such an issue when it is very simple to get a TFC#06 into the USA. While it doesnt have a large gun printed on the box, i do not see why this makes any sort of difference

It's causing such a problem because of how sought after this figure is.

& as far as the cap goes, sure we can all paint over them/take them off, but putting them on keeps the stores' arses out of a legal bind when it either:

a: dosen't pass customs & a lot of customers are screwed over

b: causes them to have a lawsuit brought against them for selling products that go against US toy gun safety laws brought on by somebody trying to transport one via ariline or some dumbass kid pulling one on a cop.

It does kinda suck, but then again rules is rules, & afterwards could be easily remedied.

Besides, anyone that wants to keep a TF MISB is kinda missing the point of having transformers: to transform them. Not to mention anyone that did wouldn't have to worry about the orange cap either.

And no, the "cut the cap off" suggestion is not going to be valid for me. Why should i have to pay $90+ on something that I have to modify to get the desired result? I hope someone repro's the barrels and makes an absolute killing on selling them.

What the hell? How does BBTS fit into this? Are you serious? Come on. You must be kidding. It's not BBTS's fault, it's the law.

If the companies so choose to modify it so you can finally have the item without it being confiscated and you get your money's worth, then so be it.

BBTS didn't do it. ...damn.

I see what he's saying. Once it was released that he'd be a gun BBTS said they wouldn't carry it due to customs.
This was befor there was even a picture.

Then a week after they furuted that saying that they would sell it, but with a cap.
That made fans happy because if Joel put it on, then you could take it off.

However all that right there is I think what AOUTBOT032 ment by bringing them into this. But, realy I shouldn't speak for others.

What upsets me about Takara doing this is that it will now be something more permanent and harder to remove or alter.

Glad I'm waiting for Megatron to actually get in stock somewhere before buying him.

Geez, all this ruckus over a little plastic add-on.

its not about the plastic add on for a lot of people. most of us dont want someone else opening and screwing around with our toys.

im an out of box collecter myself, but i cant stand the thought of other hands playing with my plaything. (leave the dirty thoughts behind there fellas)

and there are some who collect mint in box only, and now they cant get that coveted prize.

as ive said b4 i could give 2 shits less if its got an orange cap or not, its still sexy, but i want to be the one to open MY toy first.
