Vahkiti Master of Time Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) Alright, so a number of you may remember a few months ago when I posted about my custom forged life sized bronze Vahi. Well I'm planning to visit my boyfriend in the states this weekend, and we might be attending Brickfair (Virginia). As such, I would like to bring the Vahi with me, but I'm nervous that in crossing from Canada into the US, the border guards might give me trouble. I don't have room in my two allowed pieces of luggage to hold it, so I'd likely have to wear it as I usually do, like a pauldron: So I guess my question then is, do you think I'll be okay crossing the border with this, or would they try and say it is, or could be used as a weapon?

Makuta Luroka Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I think it should be good, but don't quote me on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually kicking myself a bit now, since apparently I could have contacted the border information center basically anytime yesterday, but they're closed entirely on weekends, and I have to leave tomorrow evening. >-< Edited July 25, 2015 by Vahkiti Master of Time Quote Admin of Mask Of Destiny.

Ta-metru_defender Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 If you're flying you should definitely find a way to get it in your checked baggage. I mean, it maybe shouldn't be a problem, but it's not something I'd risk.

They only allow one piece of luggage no bigger than 62 inches overall, and one carry-on bag no bigger than a briefcase. Both of those are full, and neither are really big enough to hold the mask. ._.

Ta-metru_defender Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I think the bus shouldn't be a problem. I haven't gone across the US border by vehicle in years, but it doesn't strike me as being nearly as stringent. A quick google brings up this, so basically the usual don't-bring-this-into-a-country stuff. So it's down to whether or not Megabus has any issues with a big metal mask.

Black Six Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 If it's a bus I think you should be fine. As long as it's pretty clear that it's not a weapon I don't think they'll care. Quote Bio of a BZP Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vahkiti Master of Time Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Neat, well thanks for the advice guys. I suppose I'll see some of you at Brickfair! ^-^ 1 Quote Admin of Mask Of Destiny.
