Of course though, there were no Tacit's available to even exchange as NECA's distribution is nearly as pathetic as their customer service, at least in my town.

It's a damn shame, because I'm somewhat of a completionist when it comes to collecting certain lines, and Tacit was a figure that I was eagerly looking forward to. I've seen places online where I can pick him up for fairly cheap, but I wonder if it's even worth the trouble at this point. I may still pick him up, because I really wanted that figure, but sure enough, going forward, I'm done with the line.

I am sorry to have read about your Tacit Ronin breaking, but at least you were able to return it. I enjoy having it on the shelf but I think it is easily the most fragile Jaeger simply due to its odd design. The knees on mine are fairly loose and the shoulders don't give at the swivel, though they do work on the hinge going in and out. I don't know if you ever collected the kaiju from the line but they seem to have way less problems, likely due to having organic massive forms. It's harder to mess up on something so much more solid.

I wouldn't know if you should blame NECA or rather TRU for poor distribution, because I have seen both in person and through Twitter that some TRUs have little to no adult collectibles while others are packed with them. I would guess that like any big chain store TRU uses warehouses to gather up items and then trucks them out to specific stores, so I would pin the lack of items more on TRU's decision that the toys would better sell at a different location.
