Folks, I've had the honor of breaking ALL of the above figures at one point or another. I've also broken several Jedi Knights, an Agen Kolar, 3 Ki Adis, 2 Luke S3-21s, and others....
Is it just me being a yutz or is it a common occurrance?

I didn't vote as I have yet to break one that was my fault. I had my Yoda's light saber handle (bottom half) fall out of his hand and I had S4 Vader's cape fall off. My son had his S1 Vader explode all have been repaired. How ever My nephew broke his S3 Obi-wan (a result of too much to drink) LOL and his brother Broke his S1 Vader's arm in half, Darth maul's spring came unglued and also broke Ki-Adi's wrist off. All a result of twisting too much trying to take out a group of figures. so no I don't think it is all you.

I have only broken one figure and that was my S2 Shooter Grievous. The missile got jammed and somehow I actually pulled out the firing mechanism. Not the spring but the little bit of red plastic that holds the missile in place until you push the button.
Other than that, I've yet to have any problems with striking figures. Perhaps it's because I'm very careful with my strikers due to a lack of Attacktix funds or maybe I just stink with high-powered striking and that's what has been saving them from being involuntarily amputated.

Darth Sidious broke the first time I swung him, he just went limp  Thus I'm looking for another one of him  I've heard a lot of Darth Mauls (also one I'm trying to get) are broken right out of the box/don't swing well. |

I had the same thing happen, but the next day he was fine....it was weird. He rotated completely around 4-5 times, then he was fine, with a MUCH stronger strike. Jesus loves me man! |

I accidentally voted other. I should have voted S1 Vader #16. This all happened so long ago I forgot about it.
1. Broke light saber arm in half (took back to store as defective)
2. Broke Light saber arm in half. (Became a member of this board and learned the value of super glue. He is still a member of my posse and is better than ever)
3. Exploded torso. (I noticed that his head looked a little wobbly. I moved it back a little and his whole body just fell apart.
Dooku is second with his body exploding once as well.

Send him my way and I'll fix him and send back. I've had this happen to 4 of my CHOICE figures and have perfected the art of repairing exploded torsos, as well as done some testing on several materials and chosen a specific 2P-Epoxy that is oh-so-strong. In fact, it's so strong that after repairing a broken-wrist KAM (again), after repair he was SO strong that his arm was torn off at the shoulder rather than his arm breaking again.
