I would not say the gimmick is fragile if used in the correct way it should last for years my first set is still going strong.
If you are rough with your stuff this will break, so I suppose it is fragile but not in normal use.
If you are breaking this many you must be doing something wrong, unless this is 5 sets over years in which case thats not bad if you use them a lot!
Lighting can be an issue when doing the initial display of the boxes but you know what you have to cover so it is easily compensated for.
This is one of those rare items that is great for walk around, tables even parlour.
If my set broke today I would not hesitate to buy another they are well worth it.
