Yes but how often have you heard of companies salvaging parts of editions? It is just not in their business playbook... never happens at that scale of business. They do the math of the editions damaged to replacing those entire editions and then decide if it worth it or not.

This is why I really doubt they will let us get the non-damaged ones or the statues. They will just destroy it all... or at the very best case sell it as junk to someone in wholesale lots and we will get it second hand that way.

True, that could happen too, or they may have just taken a big insurance loss and destroy everything but I still would not be surprised if some eventually get out there on the secondary market.
