The answer to your question is right there in front of you. More SICs aren't being mass-released because the line/characters are only so popular. If these were consistently selling really well, we'd get these much more frequently like we used to. Bandai/TN's not one to walk away from money. The line is still largely exclusive-based because that's all they're willing to do. Is it preferable? If you love SIC like I do, then hell no, but I get why. I'd much rather have options available and just pay the exclusive prices over the line fading in and out (MonsterArts) or just quietly dying (SIC KT, Ultra-Act).
Yes, absolutely. Birth broke on me, but generally speaking SICs are still made pretty well (which is good, considering the amount of part-swapping involved still, on average, is greater for these figures compared to SHFs) and is
light years
ahead of what the line used to be, the beautiful, crumbling mess made up of the earlier releases in the line.
I don't mean to minimize what happened to your figure. As touched on above, I went through a fresh-out-of-the-box breakage issue myself somewhat recently with Birth (and one that seemed entirely preventable, design-wise, had they done the shoulder pads differently). It sucks, especially when these aren't cheap. If you don't want to keep up with the line after this, it's your money & your collection, it's whatever you want.
In defense of the line, though, that's ONE figure. This line isn't known for being unusually fragile (the older figures, yes; newer figures since Den-O are just fine). They're no more or less fragile or poorly QC'd, really, then your average other TN product. If you're pissed, that's fine, but take a step back before making any decisions. If your mind is unchanged and one unfortunate breakage/lemon is enough to put you off, totally your right, but maybe stay away from TN figures in general if that's the case. The SIC line, and Gaim sub-line specifically, is
not
a problem.
Meh....I had a pretty good time with my wife last night, so now I don't really care...funny how that happens. lol
