The quality of the metal as well as plastic are often times incredibly cheap (ie. poor build quality). But that shouldn't be what makes you not want to buy bootlegs. The people making these are simply thieves making a buck off of other people's work. Often times the bootleg makers simply use stolen molds of parts they've gotten from Hasbro, or Takara Tomy plants as re-engineering something is super expensive and outside of the reach of most bootleggers.
For Transformers the bootleggers were so bad that there's molds that neither Hasbro, nor Takara Tomy have anymore because their remaining ones were stolen (mind you, this was in the 90's) to make bootlegs to this very day. That's not something I'd support.

Dude, that's a pretty brutal post. You're in the biggest city in the country, and have an internet connection. Toysrus.ca has a store locator I believe.
