how to get airsoft guns from HK back home?

Hey guys, im going to HK in november, havent been back in ages. Im thinking while im there i could buy a nice arsenal of airsoft guns and bring them back for my collection. Anyone familiar with rules and regulations? I know i wnot be able to bring them back in my luggage right? you guys know how hard/easy it is to ship them back? How much would that cost me? Is it even worth it?

Thanks for any help/ideas.

BTW, while on topic, any other toys i need to make sure i buy when im in HK? Any cool places i should try to visit? It's been a while so im not up to date on whats there anymore.

- B

Might want to dip the barrel in orange paint that's easy to remove. Other than that, I got nothing.

Just send it back to the U.S. by surface shipping. That's what I do when I get some airsoft guns from Japan. Works for me everytime.

The overseas airport security isn't a joke. I had some trouble bringing stuff over from Japan. They X-rayed my baggage when I checked in at Narita and also when I landed at SFO. The U.S. Customs officers were pretty uptight until I pull out my badge and L.E.O. ID to calm things down.
