I have no idea if this is the actual case, but years ago I won a fake black Megatron from a guy in Singapore.  Paid a LOT for it, think I was out of my mind since I had 2 TraSformer black megs, just wanted the fake megs to combat the fake Prime I have...

 

at any rate, it seems customs had some FUN with it during shipping.  Ripped open the box, tore the plastic tray inside to shreds, and most of the bullet’s and trees were lost. 

 

It arrived in bad shape, but at least still in the original box.  I actually had to piece together the plastic insert, laminated with this fuzzy covering bit by bit as best I could, and used tape underneath to hold it together. 

 

Since it comes up as a GUN in X-ray they might have given it a similar once over.

 

The double shipping charge is BS.  They are not obligated, but common decency

Should have cut you a break somewhere. 

 

Common sense and decency isn't so common these days...

I wonder if I could get the KO Megs at the local flea market? I haven't been there in years.
