Richard, apply that logic to anything else in life...like a car,washing machine,socks...etc etc etc sooner or later stuff fails,brakes,gets worn out ,meets with a premature end etc,some stuff lasts longer than other stuff ,thats life . If we all didnt buy stuff that was one day going to fail no one would buy anything,fortunatly for the global economy few of us live our lives thinking like that.Life is short,enjoy the moment and dont dwell on what might happen to your little plastic guys, there are after all lots of more worthy subjects to worry about
