Actually the Auzzie gun laws are not quite as a all encompasing as the UK's yet. They're getting there though. But here in Canada replica firearms are outright banned. Your not allowed to have them at all. But Austrailian police/customs classed him as a replica gun and not a toy like he was here. Here he can be sold (if any hobby shop shelled out for the import tariffs) with no modifications at all.

No it doesn't. The original Megatron toy did fire plastic pellets about the size and general shape of 9mm slug though. (needless to say western versions weren't sold with those) And it's oversized in gun mode too, being that in robot mode Megatron is a foot tall. So anyone holding it looks kind of funny with this giant pistol in their hands.


Oh yeah and that safe storage thing. It means a locked cabinet to keep him in at all times.
