Hi all, very sorry for the delay, I have moved house and been over run at work, so I have had to shelf the SW hobby for a while, GREAT NEWS, all armour and BOTH blasters were successfully delivered to Melbourne, Australia without issue! Now that I have a full kit I will be pushing forward with my application.

I have just ordered a Sandtrooper commission from RS Propmasters in the UK for delivery to Australia, I am thinking about cancelling the E11 & DLT-19 as I highly doubt that they will clear Border Security, Customs Australia have told me that they will be seized upon entry, and that I will need to contact the Police to obtain a permit in order to get them through, and that is not guaranteed. Had anyone else had to deal with this in Australia? UPDATE (21/10/2017): I have been in contact with Customs Australia who have told me that the DLT-19 and E-11 will be seized upon entry into the country as they fall under prohibited items, they have instructed me to contact my state Police in order to secure a permit to have the items released, 2 days after emailing VicPol I am yet to receive a reply. Tonight I have emailed RS Props in order to cancel the DLT-19 and the E-11 from the order, but they have assured me that they have successfully imported them to Australia before when shipping them with an Import Form, in light of this, I have asked them to continue the order as planned and will keep this post updated for anyone wishing to place an order of their own.

Hi guys! First off THANK YOU for the info here, it certainly helped me make some better informed choices. I have now purchased a Sandtrooper commission from RS Propmasters and cannot wait to get my hands on it. My concern is that I have also ordered the E-11 blaster and DLT-19 heavy blaster to go with it, and being Australia, we are pretty uptight about importing even replica firearms into the country. I am curious to know if anyone else has had an issue with this? The order is still 8 weeks away, but I assume I may need to contact Customs and inform them, and hope that they do not confiscate part of my order! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers.
