Importing a blaster

[Azirithdorr]

Hi all,

This is mainly aimed at Canadians, since that's where I am.

I'm looking to get my first blaster and am finding that most seem to come from the US or UK. Have any of you, especially Canadians, had issues with customs while importing one through the mail since it's a sort of 'gun'ish' item?

Thanks for reading!

Nope. No issues whatsoever. Just make sure whoever is sending the item marks it as a movie prop, plastic/rubber prop, or toy blaster, and never, ever as a replica or gun. Maybe even go so far as asking that the person sending it show a photo of it in context (ie. E-22 being held by a Shoretrooper, etc...). And if an option is to receive it unpainted or as a kit, go for that. Customs may still open it to inspect but they usually won't hold it if it's been marked correctly.
