Hello

has anyone had any experience with these minis? What is the quality like and most importantly pikes :rofl:

I know I was really worried when my metal ones fell or tipped because they have the most unusual ability to snap and were pretty weak but how are the finecast ones? Do they snap at a moments notice or are they a little more durable than metal? (yes I know all pikes are death traps but I just want to know the difference between finecast and metal pikes.) :)

Thanks in advance

LONG and HARD pieces like the pikes usually come out very bent. But nothing a little hot agua won't fix.

I've found them to be good, I prefer the finecast pikes, yeah they're bent but not as bad as the metal ones and they straighten out better.
