>>5981718Depends on the state, technically you *can* own him, legally too but depends where you are. last I checked queensland *only* needs the permit which is free, other states may require bit more to it, like how Victoria requires a letter from the governor to allow the collection of replica firearms.

As for me personally, I got lucky and got an mp05 without all this stuff, thing is I got him long after the initial buzz, for personal ownership the *only* legal risk you take owning him are
>losing him to customs>money spent=gone>the figure is incineratedIf you're a retailer things can get more hairy, so don't do anything silly and try to get 10 of him or something, you can try for a local seller which has minimal risk of detection but its not fool proof, for me I'm thinking about registering the one I have legally even though it cost alot for just 3 years.
Just a big warning, during the initial mp05 witch hunt they were seizing shipments via xray, he was packed in robot mode and they picked up on his silhouette in robot mode, and even up to mp05G gold version they caught them (as the forum admin in link posted explained his process).
So, take a risk, lose a figure, get it cleared, keep it forever, regardless though 2 words of warning
Don't be a dick and wave it around in public because police, and if he's somehow stolen report it to the police, because if they match your prints after some punk robs a store you're fucked m8
