While they didn't go into too much detail what I got out of it was that either they were stored outside and took on water damage from rain before being put inside or where they were being stored in a warehouse took on a lot of water. I know it sounds rather odd but that is what they were told and in turn told us. When asked if we would ever see them released, I was told that it may happen eventually with regards to the ones that were salvageable.
I realize many are probably shaking their heads saying "WTF?" as I did the same thing, but I guess stranger things could happen. I would say it would have to have been a significant amount of water to cause that much damage to them. What was interesting is when they said its possible we may see some offered eventually, but I am not holding my breath for that day to come.

Probably the editions themselves (cardboard and paper) were what were damaged... the statues were more or less fine then. But they cannot sell waterlogged editions nor is it wort it to have a team take them apart to redo the soggy parts.
But I just want to see one some day
