YMMV but I've had a lot of the hinge joints break because they're so thin walled and the plastic is questionable. And I have picked up figures that have been sitting in open air (and barely moved when opened) and their legs/arms have dropped off to the table without bending the joint.
I have.. way too many of these figures for customs so I just swap them out and they used to come with extras. The more recent releases don't come with a baggie of extra joints though so yeah I'd advise some caution. I also am not a big fan of the maintenance sets. The hips/pelvis and torsos are very different from all the other releases with really long inseams, narrow waist and wide hips. They look alien to me and the paint apps are sparse. I basically have them all separated for individual parts and joint spares. But everyone's preferences are different and for what it's worth; none of my maintenance figures are broken (yet). But they're not that old yet either.
