All they needed to do is manufacture 2 battery covers one with the safety markings & one without. 1 Major problem solved with a simple solution. ---

This is just the same as the tru 4 pack. I live in the UK and got the 4 pack from eBay. Paid around £60 with delivery. So in my opinion not to bad for something I can not get in the UK. The worst prices where people selling from in the UK. Someone was selling the pack for £140! So in my opinion best to get the [pke meter](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-pke-meter) from someone in the USA and hope you don’t get hit by import tax. Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk ---

So the main reason why the [PKE meter](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-pke-meter) isn’t shipping is some label on the PKE itself? ---

> [@stanzistheman](#): > > So the main reason why the PKE meter isn’t shipping is some label on the PKE itself? yep seems to be some sort of easy peel hazard warning label, like most other toys/replicas with electronics come with My Lightsabers had them, i removed them. Matty obviously don’t want to do this, or they don’t have the suply to meet demand, and a second issue of them will be fixed for international sale… ---
