Transformers RPM

[rhinoxmaximal]

So, lately , I've been itching to purchase some of the RPMs out there but I want the diecast version.

I know not a lot of people collect these but I want to start. Are they out in Canada or is eBay my only option? The ones I've been seeing at the stores, i think, are plastics.

I'm not out to collect all of them but a few of the main characters would be nice.

Has anyone started collected these. Plastic or diecast?

Metal Heroes are not out yet in Canada. I got all the plastic molds released so far save for Jetfire, but I plan to collect all the different die-cast ones as well.

I was checking out the Canadian Checklist and I didn't see a section for the Metal Heroes Series. This is why I'm not sure if they are coming to Canada.

Anyways, Pascal, how's the quality of the plastic ones?

[Pascal]

I like them, they're nicely detailed, they roll superbly, some of them have moveable parts (Mixmaster, Long Haul, Rampage, Bonecrusher) but I can't compare to Matchbox cars and the likes, I've never collected those.

Thanks Pascal. I might just get me some of those plastic ones then.

I've had a few Matchbox when I was a kid. They were very durable. The paint was the only thing that didn't last.

They aren't on those checklists because they are part of the 2010 line

Gotcha... so in 2011 then.... ??? (that's so behind from the rest of the world -- if it is)
