I'm hoping not... but they said they ship international... if they didn't they would only have USA on there shipping. I have had Master Replica Stormtrooper, Rebel trooper, and Han Solo blasters shipped with no problems. But had a problem with a holster coming across the border... so go figure. Yes... I do live in Canada.
I think it's all a matter of packaging maybe?? If they see a standard brown box with questionable contant in it, they seize it. However, if the brown box contains a full color box from a known collectible toy company, shipped from a warehouse, they're a bit more likely to let it go through.
I'm just talking out of my butt, as I have no knowledge in this area, but it seems likely.

Thanks for the info.

They also made good on the issues though. To my knowledge they replaced many blasters without asking for anything to be returned.
I don't have any issue with HCG, and I'm happy as can be to see a company putting out licensed prop gun replicas. I just can't afford the damn thing, even with the payment plan.

Neither can I, but I don't mind eating ramen for the next 6 months to aquire my holy grail prop.
As far as features of the PR here is my take. Every component has been found or replicated to screen / idealized accuracy. Except for metal shrouds. A lot of us PR builders would have paid $899 just for the metal shrouds, that was the make it or break it feature.
We over at the Aliens Legacy board have had an informal back and forth suggestion with HCG via one of our members. Their price point was always going to be under $1,000, our sticking point was always metal shrouds. From the photos it appears that they have done an excellent job with the piece and display rack. I would have loved to have additional features as others had mentioned already, but that would have upped the cost and discouraged potential buyers.

Don't see it listed at Propstore. Is it worthwhile all UK buyers purchasing together and sharing shipping costs - or would that only make it worse with customs? Also, what's the duty going to be on this thing if it does get stopped but let through?

Even if that does happen with this run, it's still a phenominal price. I'm already planning on modding mine to accept light and sound, which will be very simple with all the room inside the metal shrouds. I'd pay the $900 just for an unassembled raw pull of this gun
I would'nt personally be too worried about it (sure have placed the order
) as airsoft is legal here and many people get airsoft guns shipped in from US, Asia, UK etc with the only real problem being the the charges. Airsoft are replicas once they are under 1J and this is a replica which cant be made to fire so they have no reason not to let it in.Hopefully those of us who have ordered with 4/6 pay for the OD actually get it if the invoices have not been sent out yet to us.
with regards to airsoft and replica guns for re-enactment, you have to be a member of a club, and be able to prove this. So im not sure if these will get stopped and require you to prove you are a in a group?
However if the propstore are selling them, then they will already be in the UK wont they?

As far as I understand, Propstore of London (UK) will be importing these to sell and ship through their UK office, so there should be little concern to the purchasing British individual.
I'll alert Mr. Propstore of LA to this thread so he can weigh in with the definitive ruling.

Here's a slightly disheartening e-mail I received, but certainly not a deal breaker for me. My questions on top, her e-mail response below:
