Or perhaps the 'vacuum metalizing' sealed the bumpers from outgassing and warpage

Hi John, Sadly, our local Niagara Hobby, which had billed itself as the largest hobby shop in the world, closed a few years ago. I bought several FM and other diecasts there. They had a very large selection. As you note, only Walmart, Hobby Lobby and Michaels seem to be left as brick and mortar stores. Buying online is just not the same fun, as discovering a gem at a store.

Many of my very early promos actually had metal bumpers.
