Please Note: The orange safety tip is not pictured in the main image above. Please see the image on the lower right below - this is an image of an actual plug as viewed in a regular reissue megatron.
Updated Information: The orange plug attached to the Megatron hinders the use of the silencer. The silencer attachment will not fit over the orange plug, we apologize for this inconvenience! A small slit in the inner plastic packaging was made so the extra length of the tip would fit back inside the tight packaging.
WARNING: The Encore Black Megatron is an adult collectible and should not be used by children. Caution should be exercised when using this toy, and Megatron should never be used in a situation where it could be confused for a real weapon. Do not remove the orange safety plug affixed to Megatrons barrel.
Due to United States Toy / Imitation Gun Laws, it is illegal for any business or individual to import the Encore Black Megatron because it does not have a blaze orange safety tip on the end of barrel. A copy of this law is listed at the end of this description. In order for BBTS to legally import this item, Megatron must be modified. A blaze orange safety tip will be added to the end of barrel. This orange tip will be a custom made plastic plug that is attached to the end of the barrel. The tip will add between 1/4 and 1/2 inch in length to the end of the barrel and will not hinder the transformation between gun and robot. It may however interfere with the silencer attachment, please be aware the silencer may not fit on the barrel of Megatron.
Without this orange tip modification, US Customs will seize any incoming shipments for this item that they discover because it does not comply with US Laws, so we are providing a legal and risk-free solution to that problem.
This modification requires that all boxes will be opened, and the contents removed for modification. The factory tape seal will be cut, and some internal plastic packaging may be modified or cut. Collector's Grade packaging will not be available due to these modifications, and the normal Standard Grade description will not apply because the tape seals have been broken. We realize these modifications will slightly change the appearance of the toy, but we also realize that giving you a legal way to own this toy is much better than not owning it at all, or running the risk of US Customs seizing the item.
This is an aftermarket modification that does not involve Takara whatsoever, we initiated this modification to bring you an importable collectible. We will work to provide the highest quality plug addition that we can, but because this is not part of the original manufacturing process, it will not be perfect. This modification is done at no expense to you, we are paying all costs associated with this and passing nothing on to you.
Below is the actual law in regards to imitation toys, please remember that the BBTS solution to this problem is the only legal way in the USA for you to obtain this amazing item.
